Independent supermarket Dike & Son has reaffirmed its long-standing relationship with Co-op Wholesale by signing a new five-year supply agreement.
The much-loved, family-run business has served the community of Stalbridge, Dorset, since 1851, with five generations of the Dike family leading its evolution from a small delivery service to a co-branded 18,000 sq.ft. Dike & Son/Nisa Extra supermarket.
Since moving into its current site in 2007, the store has continued to innovate, expand and invest in its future, while remaining at the heart of the local community.
Recent investments have included a complete overhaul of refrigeration to reduce energy consumption and improve sustainability, as well as plans to enhance electric vehicle charging bays and introduce Electronic Shelf Edge Labels (ESELs) to further improve efficiency, availability and margin control.

We’ve worked together for many years, and this new long-term agreement reflects our shared commitment to quality, service and community. With ongoing investments in technology and sustainability, we’re excited about what the next five years will bring for our business and our customers.”
Paul Webster, partnerships & sales director at Co-op Wholesale, added: “Dike & Son is a shining example of independent retail at its best - combining tradition with innovation, and always putting their community first. We’re proud to continue supporting them as they grow, evolve and serve their customers with excellence. This new agreement cements our shared ambition for the future.”
