When my son's lost mobile was handed in to this shop, a member of staff kindly handed it in at the ferry terminal for us to collect on the mainland as we had already left the island before we realised we had lost it. Even before it was handed in he went to check on the benches outside. This is going above and beyond. Thank you very much!

Provide a fine service to the island when nobody else will due to transport and all the additional costs of delivering to an island with a substandard ferry service. Stock a wide range of essentials. Prices can be kept sensible by choosing items carefully.

Small supermarket with your typical range of daily use goods. Good place to stock up on food and drinks if you're planning on staying in the more remote corners of the Island.

This store has to be among the worst grocery shops I have ever "had to" use, I say "had to" as its all you have got if you live on the island, literally! 3 major grocery shops on the island and they are all co-op, most of the staff are miserable, but I would say that is more to do with the working conditions staff are forced to accept rather than the staff having a bad attitude as standard, and this is in no way a reflection on their character, just an observation. Product choice is ridiculous, 90% of all stock is co-op own brand, and when a named brand sells well, they remove it and replace it with co-op own version and you never see the brand you liked again, not to mention that the own brand hits the shelves at the SAME price if not ( more often than not) more expensive. As for the vegan selection available, If you are Vegan and coming to Arran for a holiday "bring your own food" The co-op here does not care about ethical produce at all, and that IS a management decision, all this plus the fact they do not respect local producers, Like Arran Butcher ( who's product is just thrown into a fridge any which way, they cant even do the simple task of adding it to their system so you can use self service) , Arran cheese, Arran Fine Foods to name a few. This Island Needs and deserves better.

Always come here when we visit Arran, always got everything in stock and staff are more than friendly and helpful. Unfortunately today, shelves were abit empty but not an issue as we only needed a few stuff for the the journey

Very good-sized store compared to those on other West Coast islands. Plenty of parking and friendly staff. Good range of food and non-food. Ideal for stocking up

This CoOp is fair - good. Seemed to be low on stock every time I visited.. one member of staff, when I asked where the ice was, acted as if I was wasting his time. Perhaps because it's an island, I can forgive the shortage of items but staff looked miserable.

Good place to shop have a variety of food and goods, but boy are the price ridiculously high. Residence have to suffer and pay these high prices can't rely on the ferry to go to the mainland to shop. Co-op have the monopoly on the island. Which is why I give it one star
