The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering remedies offered by Co-op Group, including selling 15 convenience stores, to address competition issues in its acquisition of Southern Co-op.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce, and 5 sources have reported it between 15 Sep 2026 and 30 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a clearer path to UK market entry as Co-op’s store sales open buying opportunities in convenience retail. This is a rare chance to win customers abandoned by a major merger relic.
