Information on the new addition to the Shaunavon Gas Bar/C Store was given at the Co Op AGM.

 

The Shaunavon Co Op held their Annual General Meeting this past Monday in the Shaunavon Canalta Meeting Room.

General Manager of the Shaunavon Co Op, Kevin Braun, called 2016 a challenging year financially with a profit of $408,670, 53% lower than 2015.

However, he added, they already are on track for a much better year in 2017.

The local Co Op was the successful bidder for the Shaunavon Liquor franchise, which is scheduled to open in late   2017 and there was information at the meeting about adding space to the current Gas Bar/Convenience Store.

A new Federated Co Op corporate bulk fuel plant is also being constructed behind the current Co Op Card Lock with one more lane and a card reader. Plus a renovation is being planned for the meat department at the Marketplace Food Store.

The equity allocation for 2016 is $272,000, a portion of which will be paid to members at the annual Equity Days in June.

New Board members Josh Frederick, Leslie Goldstein, Terry Mitchell and Ted Taylor were announced as well.

Shaunavon Co Op continues to care about, and support the causes that are important to the community, with over $38,000 contributed to many events and organizations in 2016.
