It's commonly thought that the beginning of the international co-operative can be traced back to a small building on Toad Lane, in Rochdale. In 1844 the Rochdale Pioneers Society was established, based on eight 'Rochdale principles', including distributing a share of profits called a dividend. Just 17 years later, a joiner from Gainsborough called Thomas Parker founded what is today Lincolnshire Co-op and we celebrated our 150th birthday in 2011. Trading began at 1 Napoleon Place, Lincoln, in September 1861. By the end of the first quarter, there were 74 members and the dividend was 9d. We now have over 215 outlets, we're owned by around 249,000 members and in 2015, the dividend payout to members was £1.56m.
