FCL is owned by over 150 independent local Co-ops and exists to help them succeed for the long term. Local Co-ops are member-owned (owned by members, not far-away shareholders), so member and local community needs are prioritized in business decisions, and profits are reinvested in the communities they serve. Together, FCL and local retail Co-ops operate under the Co-op brand, creating a network that helps build, fuel, feed, and grow communities across Western Canada. As a Co-op team member, that means your work supports people and communities. Our culture is built on co-operation, innovation, and shared success, with opportunities to learn, grow, and build a meaningful career.
