This sounds very much like how the Associated Grocers started out with the AG brand & affiliate stores here in the States.

It is similar in the sense that both AG and the Coop Group in England are member-owned wholesalers of foods. The difference, as I understand it, is that the stores that were supplied by the Coop Group are mostly member-owned co-ops themselves, or directly owned by the Coop Group in areas where no local coop stores exist. There's more details here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochda…
