Highburton Co-operative Society, or Highburton Co-op, is a small consumer co-operative based in the West Yorkshire village of Highburton, five miles southeast of Huddersfield. The Society was founded in 1856, buying the building from the church, and has operated the single store on Towngate in the village since then. The Society can lay claim to being the world's oldest operating independent single retail co-operative outlet. In 2006, the Society held talks with the nearby Wooldale Co-op with a view to merging the two Societies' operations but these talks ended without a merger going ahead.
