The Jersey Co-operative Society was formed in 1919 and the Guernsey Co-operative Society followed in 1947. Both predecessors were supported by a CWS supervisory committee, which meant their accounts were liable to UK taxation. Growing objection to this persuaded the CWS to propose a merger which led to the incorporation of the Channel Islands' Society in 1955.[2]

The Society operates nine supermarkets in Jersey and six in Guernsey, in addition to Travelmaker, Homemaker and Total Sport stores. Membership is open to all residents of the Channel Islands, with members receiving a share of the profits in the form of dividend.
