Co-op Gas Stations

As a valued member of Calgary Co-op we are reaching out to you directly to advise you of an important change we are making to our business operation at our gas stations. Due to increasingly difficult economic conditions, low gas prices and a sharp decline in vehicle traffic in recent weeks, we have made the difficult decision to remove full service at select locations indefinitely. This means that effective Monday May 4, members will need to fuel their own vehicles at these locations however staff will be available to support members through this change.

We have seen other retailers completely close full service at all of their locations in other markets, however we recognize the importance of this service to many of our members, especially for seniors and those with limited mobility. As a co-operative, we know you hold us to a higher standard and we appreciate and respect the trust you place in us. Therefore, we have chosen nine key locations throughout the city and surrounding communities where full service will remain in place for those members who need and want this service.

These locations include:

• Sierra Springs (Airdrie)
• Wheatland Trail (Strathmore)
• Montrose (High River)
• Crowfoot
• Village Square
• Richmond Road
• Oakridge
• North Hill
• Shawnessy

Our primary focus is to assist our members through this transition and our team members at these locations. This change will not result in layoffs however it will mean a reduction in hours for some. Our goal is to minimize the impact and support our team members at these locations through modified schedules. We will also work with the Union and the individual to find an alternate solution such as positions at other Calgary Co-op locations or in our other lines of business.

Like many other local businesses, we recognize the challenges of operating during this unprecedented time. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition. For a list of all of our gas station locations, please visit our website map.

Thank you for your continued support.
