Does Arran have a supermarket?

The island's main supermarket; we sell a wide range of groceries, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy products and tinned products. We also have a range of products from local suppliers from Arran and Kintyre.



Yes, the Isle of Arran is well-served by supermarkets, primarily concentrated in the main village of Brodick. The largest is the Co-op Food on Shore Road in Brodick, which functions as a full-service supermarket providing fresh produce, a bakery, and household essentials. There is also a second, smaller Co-op on the Main Street of Brodick. Outside of the main hub, you will find smaller "licensed grocers" and convenience stores such as the Lamlash Co-op and independent shops like The Bay Kitchen and Stores in Whiting Bay. In 2026, these stores are essential for travelers staying in self-catering cottages. While they are smaller than mainland "superstores," they carry a surprisingly wide range of local Arran products, including the famous island cheeses and oatcakes. Most are open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, providing reliable access to groceries for both locals and the island's many seasonal tourists.
