The Calgary Co-operative Association has started construction on its new Strathmore location.
The co-op is planning to have the 35,000 square foot one-stop shopping centre completed by summer 2015. In addition to selling food, it will offer a co-op wine, spirits and beer store as well as a co-op gas bar. The location will also feature more customer parking and a wider range of products.
“We’ll have a new location, but will continue to provide the same great customer service and high quality products,” says Ken Woo, CEO of the company. “We’ve simply outgrown our current location and will use this opportunity to develop a convenient shopping destination.”
The co-op has over 440,000 members and 3,500 employees, making it one of the largest retail co-ops in North America.
