Back in June, Sobeys Inc. purchased all 213 Safeway stores across Western Canada for $5.8-billion. However, the federal Competition Bureau ruled that Sobeys had to sell 23 of the acquired stores to other operators to avoid overconcentration in the market.


Four of those stores were in Winnipeg and was purchased by Red River Co-Op. The newly branded Co-Op Food Stores will all open on the following dates:

  • Main Street location opens May 14, 2014
  • Southdale location opens May 15, 2014
  • St. Vital location opens May 22, 2014
  • Grant Avenue location opens May 23, 2014

Already a Red River Co-Op Gas Member? Then you’re all set! You’ll be able to use your Co-Op Member card at the Food Store as you would at a Co-Op Gas Station and get cash back at the end of the year.
