Our Members Are Our Owners

Becoming a Yorkton Co-op member is a simple process. You invest five dollars and you sign your name. By joining your Co-op, you become not just a member – you become an owner. And ownership carries responsibilities.

Ownership means being loyal to your business. It means taking part in decision-making by attending information meetings and, perhaps, serving as a Delegate or Director.

And it also means supporting your own business by shopping at Co-op facilities.

So, don’t just be a member, be an owner!

The new gas bar and convenience store on Palliser Way opened in late 2010. The facilities include a car wash, but cars and trucks are not all that can be cleaned there... the new car wash also includes a doggie wash.

The new gas bar, convenience store and wash bays are state-of-the-art facilities with all of the latest technological advances. There are 12 fuelling stations, two automatic car washes and four wand wash bays, which means no line-ups and very efficient service. There is also plenty of room for large trailers, RVs and vehicles pulling boats to get through the pumps. The new gas bar is a great addition to the existing West Broadway gas bar, which remains open and busy as ever serving residents of that side of the city, and traffic on Broadway.

General Manager Bruce Thurston commented, "We saw a need for another gas bar on the east side of the city. The new facilities represent a large capital commitment and strong show of confidence in the city by Yorkton Co-op."

The Yorkton Co-op gave back $2,036,982 to its members in equity and cash as part of its ongoing commitment to share its profits. The patronage dividend rates, based on 2010 purchases, were 3% on food stores purchases, 1% on Agro Centres crop and livestock inputs and hardware, 2% on gas bar purchases and 5% on petroleum, lubricants and propane.

If your personal equity level was between $100 and $1,000 you received 25% of your personal allocation this year in cash. If the equity in your account was between $1,000 and $3,000, you  received 33% of this year’s allocation to you in cash. If your equity was over $3,000, you received 50% of your allocation in cash.

Equity statements and cheques were available for pick-up in late April. Cheques not picked were mailed after April 29.

 

View Our Flyers Online

The Co-ops' weekly food flyer is posted weekly by Thursday for the sale that begins on Friday. Also watch for our seasonal agro flyers.

The flyers also continue to be distributed through the Yorkton News Review, and can also be picked up at our stores in Yorkton and Kamsack.

Our Agro Division features hardware, crop protection, petroleum and livestock supplies in 10 Rural Routes flyers each year. These also appear on our web site but copies are always available at our Agro Centres in Yorkton, Ebenezer, Theodore and Dubuc.

Despite the high cost of flyers and the obvious environmental concerns, it's doubtful that the electronic version of the flyer will completely replace the hard copy for some time to come. However, the Co-op is pleased to be taking this first step in that direction.
