Co‑op Fires Up a £10 Discount to Thank Loyal Shoppers
After a nasty cyber‑attack dented shelves and stole customer details, Co‑op is tossing £10 off any purchase of at least £40 in store. It’s a thank‑you wrapped in a fresh cuppa, proof that the company’s picking up the pieces faster than a chef can whisk a batter.
How the Trouble Rolled Out
In May, a digital bandit breached Co‑op’s systems, siphoning personal data of its members. The hit wasn’t lone ranger‑style – several retailers fell under a common cyber storm that rattled the UK retail landscape.
Co‑op’s First‑Line Response
Matt Hood, the Co‑op Food Managing Director, says the team has nearly regained full footing:
- “Thanks to the hard work of our staff, we’re close to a complete recovery.”
- “Our stores are dipping back into normal rhythm, ready to serve shoppers and communities.”
Hood extends a heartfelt thanks to members for their patience, assuring that the industry “has more value rewards coming over the summer.”
What You’ll Get
- £10 off any in‑store purchase above £40.
- No online purchases – just a local shop visit.
- Remember: the offer is a quick “thank you” and not a long‑term deal.
So next time you’re out buying groceries, remember that the Co‑op isn’t just rummaging for your favourite pickles – it’s also rummaging through the drawer to give its loyal members a sweet extra boost.
