#Nationalpieweek. Our next co-op bakery is Kilmarnock Co-operative Society who had a large bakery in St Andrew Street. Many of the larger co-op societies installed state of the art bakeries that could mass produce all the pies and bread for all their branches.

#Coopoftheweek A is also for Armadale - because it's our only branch photo with a cat. The first Armadale Co-operative Society started in 1861 -it's customers were mostly miners from the nearby collieries. Shut in 1868, a new society opened in 1871 had more long lasting success.
