Co-op Group cyber incident

This page will be updated as and when we have new information to share - last updated Friday 23rd May 2025.

The Co-op Group is currently facing disruption following a cyber-attack – you may have heard about this through the media, on social media, or on the Group’s website - Cyber Incident - Co-op.

Lincolnshire Co-op is an independent co-op, and our systems have not been affected by this.

However, we work with the Co-op Group as part of a buying group. The Co-op Group took proactive steps to keep its systems safe, due to the sustained malicious attempts by hackers to gain access. This impacted the number of deliveries from the buying group into our food stores.

We’re sorry if this means our members and customers have been unable to buy some of their usual products from us.

Co-op Group are gradually bringing systems back online in a safe and controlled manner, which means we are beginning to get more deliveries into food stores. You can read the Co-op Group's latest statement here: Cyber Incident: Further Update - Co-op

Our colleagues have also been working with our own supplier contacts to boost supply, we've increased deliveries from Love Local suppliers, and our shops continue to receive freshly baked goods from Gadsby's. We also have ranges like COOK and Kumar in many stores, which further bolster our stock levels.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
