Workers' Co-op is Best Shop in Britain

Best shopAt the prestigous Observer Food Awards last Thursday, and featured in today's Observer Food Monthly is our local workers' co-operative Unicorn Grocery coming out as "Best Shop in Britain". Story.

There is a small item coming up on the telly in a couple of weeks on UKTV Food (Sky Channels 256, 257) about the awards. I'm told you don't actually receive any silverware to take home, and the event was full of media luvvie types. No surprise there as The Observer food magazine is no mirror of food reality in Britain.

It's not just their suppliers who get a good deal - Unicorn is a workers' cooperative, so all employees are part-owners. Their latest initiative? A wetland on the shop roof, designed for endangered birds. There's nowhere better for guilt-free goodies.
