Expanding to new areas

Armstrong Co-op buys Vernon Husky & two other gas stations

Aug 25, 2022 | 1:00 PM

The Armstrong Regional Co-operative (ARC) has announced the purchase of three Husky gas stations, including one in Vernon.

The membership-driven business said the new sites, which also include Husky’s in Salmon Arm and Cranbrook, allow it to expand into new areas and grow services in existing communities.

The Co-op will become the new owner of the Vernon Husky at 3401 32nd Street, while the city’s other Husky on 27th Street will also be sold, but it’s unknown at this point who the new owner will be.

“We’re so proud to share this announcement today. As a Co-op, we’re focused on investing in our communities and bringing value to our members,” said Jason Keis, marketing and sales manager. “Adding these sites to our fuel network signals our Co-op’s commitment to growing and serving our community for the long term.”

The fuel sites were purchased from Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) as part of its agreement to acquire 171 Husky retail fuel sites from Cenovus Energy, which was announced in November 2021.

ARC will officially take ownership of the three sites on Sept. 13. The stations will continue to operate under the Husky brand until they are re-branded as Co-op.

ARC said 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 sites 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 the new locations while they are branded as Husky.

ARC, which has 26,000 members, currently operates gas bars in Vernon, Armstrong and Salmon Arm, and also owns liquor stores in Vernon and Kelowna.
