When people hear the word Co-op in the
north, many think of our retail stores. Retail makes up
the majority of our business and throughout the north
you will see our distinctive green and red striped buildings.
The Merchandising Division provides group procurement
services to help reduce the cost of buying groceries.
The annual re-supply for stores served by ship is also
co-ordinated by this division. From recreational vehicle
parts to fresh produce, our retail stores have it all.
For smaller communities such as Colville Lake, a new retail
facility ensures that members will have local access to
the services and infrastructure they need. Some Co-ops
pay out patronage dividends based on the member's annual
purchases. It really does pay for members to do all their
shopping at the Co-op. |
