Source: Heritage Co-op Media Release

This past spring Heritage Co-op announced the purchase of the Husky gas station located near Brandon's downtown core at the corner of 1st Street and Rosser Avenue.

“As a Co-op, we are focused on investing in our communities and bringing value to our Members,” said Dennis Laing, General Manager, Heritage Co-op, “Adding this site to our fuel network signals our commitment to growing and serving our community for the long term.”

This site was 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. Heritage Co-op officially took ownership of this site when the deal closed on March 31, 2023.

This fuel site will continue to operate under the Husky brand until it is re-branded as Co-op.

Site Conversion Information:

• This location will be closed beginning the evening of July 16, 2023, for conversion to a Co-op, and is expected to reopen a week later

• Upon reopening, this site will function fully as a Co-op, including allowing the use of Heritage Co-op Membership to earn equity and accepting Co-op gift cards

• Heritage Co-op Memberships can be purchased in-stores, or online here 

• Once branded as a Co-op, this location will no longer be participating in My Husky Rewards and will not be able to redeem Husky Gift Cards

Fast Facts:

• My Husky Rewards members can still earn and redeem points on all applicable transactions at Husky-branded sites

• Husky Gift Cards can still be redeemed at any Husky-branded site as a form of payment, but can no longer be purchased

• Co-op Members will not be able to use their Co-op numbers at this new location until it is branded as Co-op.

• The first step in this process is to transfer ownership of this Husky site to our Co-op.

• The Husky retail site will continue to operate as Husky in the short term and Guests can expect the same products and services when they visit this site.

• Co-op Members also benefit from this acquisition. All local Co-op associations are owned by their Members. Over the last five years, our Co-op returned more than $31.7 Million in patronage allocations to Members who shop at our locations. This is money that goes back into our communities. That is, and will continue to be, a strength of the Co-operative Retailing System. The acquisition will further support our Members and our communities.
