Red River Cooperative Limited, branded as Red River Co-op, is a retail cooperative. A member of Federated Co-operatives, it operates in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[3]
As of 2022 it operates nine Red River Co-op supermarkets, including five in Winnipeg and one each in Gimli, Stonewall, Lorette, and Selkirk.[4] It also operates gas bars and convenience stores throughout the Winnipeg Capital Region and surrounding areas, as well as Northwestern Ontario.
In 1948 Red River Co-op opened their first food stores in Winnipeg.[5]
In 1983 due to poor financial performance they ceased food store operations focusing on their gas bar operations.[5]
In 2014, when Sobeys acquired Safeway they were forced to sell 23 locations by the federal Competition Bureau. Federated Co-operatives acquired 4 locations in Winnipeg and transferred ownership to Red River Co-op. This marked the resumption of food store operations.[5]
