FOOD TRANSITION FOOD TRANSITION What are we doing? Why are we changing? • Improving our financial performance • External factors • Locally orchestrating key elements • A challenging business model How do we do that? What doesn’t change • Product assortment - what members really want • We are a Calgary-owned cooperative • Flyer – item & price + member communications • We are distinctively unique • Private Brands – uniquely Calgarian • Our commitment to YYC grows
NEW PRIVATE BRANDS: FOUNDERS AND FARMERS • Focused on Co-ops roots • National Brand equivalent
NEW PRIVATE BRANDS: CAL & GARY’s Calgary Co-ops Calgary-focused ‘Differentiating’ Brand “For a town that really loves oil” “Ready to Grill Hail, Snow or Shine”
CAL & GARY’S ORGANIC “Cut it in four pieces, “Treat your fries to a like our city” Sea of Red”
5 Myths We Need 5 Myths We Need To Bust To Bust 1. YES, we are still very much a cooperative – owned by our members, & purchasing Fuel from FCL 2. NO, we aren’t being acquired by Save On, in fact we plan to compete with them ferociously 3. NO, we couldn’t continue with FCL’s business model, nor was their appetite to change it drastically in the immediate term 4. NO, my previous employment had nothing to do with the selection of Save On – a rigorous process of diligence was done by Board & Management at Calgary Co-op 5. Fuel - the ‘boycott Co - op’ ads - that’s NOT us they are talking about
