Our Story

Who are we?

The Gull’s Grocery is a worker’s co-operative which opened in February 2022.

Food is human

The Gull’s Grocery believes that good food should be affordable, accessible, and a part of our community.

But more than that. We believe the people who grow, pick, transport and serve our food must be treated with respect and paid fair wages.

Sustainable

We stand for sustainable practices. Our refills reduce plastic waste while the majority of our fresh fruit and veg can be bought individually.

You can buy exactly what you need.

Pride

We are a trans led organisation actively working for diversity, equality, and transparency in our business.

Waste Not Want Not

Like our gull mascot, we pick up what others do not want and find uses for it. We endeavour to buy used, give away surplus and keep as much out of the bins as possible.

We are a co-operative

Our workers own and run The Gull’s Grocery. We prioritise long term jobs and good wages. Every worker, no matter their job title, is paid the same wage.

Welcome to the Gull Gang

Seagull’s are notorious but they are also intelligent, adaptive and a key part of our environment. The gull perseveres and as Leithers, we relate.
