INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITIES
October 14, 2020

What makes Co-op unique?

Among its other qualities, Co-op is Locally Invested, is Community Minded and offers Lifetime Membership Benefits.

Locally Invested

Your local Co-op is here for you. We live where you live, work where you work and we are helping grow the economy right here. We are your neighbours and we make sustainable investments in the Communities we share. Doing business with your Co-op creates good jobs and economic activity close to home – just as it has been since your Co-op opened for business.

Community Minded

A strong social conscience has always been part of how your Co-op operates. Our business has been built on a foundation of Community involvement and service. We will run a strong, financially viable business that has the potential to return profits to our Members and we invest in the Communities in which we operate. We are part of your hometown and care about and support the causes that matter to you, your Community and neighbouring Communities.
