Red River Cooperative Limited, branded as Red River Co-op, is a retail cooperative. A member of Federated Co-operatives, it operates in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. ^[4]

Operations

As of 2022, it operates nine Red River Co-op supermarkets, including five in Winnipeg and one each in Gimli, Stonewall, Lorette, and Selkirk. ^[5] It also operates gas bars and convenience stores throughout the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region and surrounding areas, as well as Northwestern Ontario.

History

In 1948 Red River Co-op opened their first food stores in Winnipeg. ^[6]

In 1983, due to poor financial performance they ceased food store operations; they shifted focus on their gas bar operations. ^[6]

In 2014, when Sobeys acquired Safeway, they were forced to sell 23 locations by the federal Competition Bureau. Federated Co-operatives acquired four locations in Winnipeg and transferred ownership to Red River Co-op. This marked the resumption of food store operations. ^[6]
