Irrigear Membership

You Own It

Irrigear is not a franchise. It is not a corporate buying group. Every member is a part-owner of our co-operative, and you retain full ownership of your store.

You Stay Independent

Your name, your business, your way of operating - all unchanged. The Co-op backs you, it doesn't control you.

You Get Stronger

80 stores. 60+ suppliers. Real rebates. Brands you couldn't access alone. The collective makes every individual store more competitive.

You Belong

Members describe it as a family, a club. That peer network has genuine business value - especially for regional operators.

You Share In The Returns

As a member-owner, you receive rebates from the Co-op's collective trading. The more the network buys, the stronger the returns for every store. This is your profit share - not a fee you pay. 

You Have A Voice

Co-op members shape how the organisation operates. Your concerns, preferences, and ideas are heard at a structural level - not just as a customer, but as an owner. 

You Stay Independent 

The Co-op That Keeps You Independent isn't just a tagline - it's the actual model. Irrigear does not mandate what you stock, how you operate, or how you present. You run your business. The Co-op backs you.

You Belong To A Strong Network

Co-operatives create genuine comunity. Irrigear members describe the network as a 'family' and a 'club' - not just a supplier arrangement. That peer connection has real business value. 

"The buying power is a huge advantage, but the biggest day-to-day benefit is the simplified accounting. Having one streamlined account instead of managing multiple supplier accounts saves valuable time and keeps our business running efficiently."

"Joining Irrigear was the best business decision that we have made. It turned us from a small niche market company into an irrigation business that is able to compete with long-established competitors. A combination of gaining competitive access to suppliers and the ability to exchange ideas and information with like-minded businesses are just a couple of the advantages of being a member of the Irrigear family."
