The Co-operative Group has had a long association on St. Helier, with Rose Hill and The Circle both at some time having shops.
In 1948 The South Suburban Cooperative Society leased four units at 7-12 Neville Parade, Green Wrythe Lane and Middleton Road and six units at 1-7 New Parade, Wrythe Lane.
These shops later closed but a new Co-op store was built on the site of the old Rose Pub at Rose Hill. The Co-op also took over the Alldays store briefly at 10-11 The Market Wrythe Lane but this closed in April 2006.
