Red River Co-op has announced the purchase of 13 Husky retail fuel sites. The company says that the sites, located in Winnipeg and Northwestern Ontario, will allow the growth of its services in existing communities and enable expansion into new areas.
“We’re so proud to share this announcement today,” said Doug Wiebe, CEO of Red River Co-op. “As a Co-op, we’re focused on investing in our communities and bringing value to our members. Adding these sites to our fuel network signals Red River Co-op’s commitment to growing and serving our community for the long term.”
The retail fuel sites were purchased from Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) as part of its agreement to acquire 171 Husky retail fuel sites from Cenovus Energy Inc., which was announced in November 2021. Red River Co-op will officially take ownership of the sites on Sept.13.
The company noted that the newly aquired fuel sites will continue to operate under the Husky brand until they are re-branded as a Co-op. Conversions of the sites will begin in 2023.
