The Plymouth and South West Co-operative Society Limited, known locally as Plymco, was originally founded in 1859 by ten tradesmen. From these humble beginnings the Society grew from 18 members, as recorded on 3 January 1860, to a membership of over 130,000.

Members approved a merger with the larger Co-operative Group (of which the Society was a corporate member) at a series of members' meetings during 2009. The merger occurred on 6 September 2009.[1]
