Welcome to the Community Retailing Network
From small communities seeking to retain their local shop, post office or petrol pumps to larger urban areas trying to provide better access to affordable, fresh, healthy food - community ownership can offer a sustainable, long-term solution.

The Network aims to support and develop community owned retailing and we do this by:

• Supporting existing community owned shops and retail enterprises
• Helping to set up new ones
• Sharing knowledge and good practice
• Promoting and representing community retailers
