What are we doing?

• Improving our financial performance
• Locally orchestrating key elements

How do we do that?

• Product assortment - what members really want
• Flyer – item & price + member communications
• Private Brands – uniquely Calgarian

Why are we changing?

• External factors
• A challenging business model

What doesn’t change

• We are a Calgary-owned cooperative
• We are distinctively unique
• 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

“For a town that really loves oil” “Ready to Grill Hail, Snow or Shine”

Calgary Co-ops Calgary-focused ‘Differentiating’ Brand

CAL & GARY’S ORGANIC

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
• f 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
