When you shop at Calgary Co-op you have over 2400 local products to choose from, supporting over 200 producers, their families and the community.
You know that first bite of home-cooked burger, fresh off the BBQ? You know what makes that bite taste even better? Knowing those ingredients are a few of Calgary Co-op’s 2,400 local Best from the West products. Because along with the flavours of caramelizing beef, crisp lettuce and melting cheese from the best farmers and producers in the West, is the flavour of supporting a local grocery store owned by 440,000 Calgarians.
Co-op was started by local farmers and ranchers committed to providing the best food to their families and neighbours. We keep this tradition alive today by offering fresh beef, chicken and lamb from Alberta and nowhere else.
