Appin Community Co-operative

Appin Community Co-operative was formally set up as a friendly society in 1983. The co-op's aim was to protect the village shop - an essential service in our fragile community - and to help develop the local economy.

Appin Community Co-op took over Port Appin Stores in 1984 and have gone on to build a popular and successful business with store profits being ploughed back into the community. Since 1991, store profits, enhanced by legacies and donations, fund the charitable support work of the Appin Community Trust which supports many charitable and educational activities in the north Lorn area.
