By 2006, Ilkeston had created one of the largest independent travel companies in the UK, operating 42 branches throughout the [[East Midlands]] and [[South Yorkshire]]. It also operated a department store, two bedding stores, a banqueting suite and two car body shops, having sold its car retail business to [[United Co-operatives]] in 2004. In August 2006, directors of the Society outlined plans to merge with the [[Midlands Co-operative Society]]. <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/derbyshire/5275896.stm "Bosses back Co-op merger proposal"], BBC News, 22 August 2006</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060924114359/http://www.thenews.coop/index.php?content=story&id=1060 The News] </ref> Following two members' meetings in September, the two societies merged in November 2006. The newly enlarged Midlands Society has retained the name 'Ilkeston Co-op Travel' for the travel business, given its prominence. It was announced on 21 January 2013 that the Midlands Co-op intended to close the Ilkeston store along with several other East Midlands homewear and fashion stores within six months, citing a lack of profitability as the reason. It is not clear what will become of the food retailing and travel departments and the in-store Post Office.<ref>[http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/news/ilkeston-news/ilkeston-s-co-op-department-store-to-close-1-5337807 Ilkeston Advertiser website]</ref> == See also == [[Cooperative]] [[Co-op UK]] {{*[[the Co-operative Group}}]]▼ ==References== {{reflist}} {{Defunct UK grocers}} ▲{{Co-operative Group}} [[Category:Former co-operatives of the United Kingdom]]▼ [[Category:Service companies of the United Kingdom]]▼ [[Category:Defunct retail companies of the United Kingdom]]▼ [[Category:Companies based in Derbyshire]] [[Category:Consumers' co-operatives of the United Kingdom]] [[Category:Retail companies disestablished in 2006]] ▲[[Category:Defunct ~~retail~~department ~~companies~~stores of the United Kingdom]] ▲[[Category:~~Service~~Defunct retail companies of the United Kingdom]] ▲[[Category:Former co-operatives of the United Kingdom]] {{UK-service-company-stub}}
