Calgary Co-op is continuing to pass along cost savings to its customers. Until further notice, Calgary Co-op is offering retail customers fresh (not frozen) regular ground beef at 99¢ per pound and fresh lean ground beef at $1.49 per pound at all of its store locations.

Calgary Co-op is a strong supporter of the Alberta and Canadian beef industry and carries only Alberta and Canadian beef in its stores. Six weeks ago, Calgary Co-op also launched a new and exclusive Alberta Tender Triple AAA beef program to complement its Double AA Alberta and Canadian beef program.

Alberta-based Calgary Co-op is one of the largest retail co-operatives in North America with assets of $252 million, 380,000 members, sales of $730 million, and 3,500 employees.
