Announcement: Continued Services for the Imperial Community

The Moose Jaw Co-op Board of Directors and Management Team are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with the Imperial Co-op Board of Directors to ensure continued access to vital services in the Imperial community.

While not all operations will continue due to the age of certain assets, environmental considerations, and long-term viability, Moose Jaw Co-op is committed to acquiring and upgrading the Cardlock and Food Store operations.

We are eager to equip the Cardlock with debit and credit card technology as soon as possible to allow access for all users, not just those with cardlock accounts. The exact timeline for this upgrade is still being determined.

Imperial residents can continue to access products and services currently offered at the Service Station through our Liberty Store location, with additional convenience available through Moose Jaw Co-op’s broader network of locations. Bulk petroleum and bulk propane services will remain available through Moose Jaw Co-op.

Moose Jaw Co-op is committed to ensuring current Imperial Co-op employees are treated with respect throughout this transition. Opportunities to join the Moose Jaw Co-op team will be made available where possible, though not all positions will continue as some sites will cease operation. We extend sincere appreciation to the employees who have served the Imperial community with dedication over the years.

The target date for transition is November 10, 2025.

To prepare for this transition, we encourage members to purchase a Moose Jaw Co-op membership using this link.

We understand that Imperial members will have questions as details of the transition unfold. Some decisions, such as timelines, employment opportunities, site upgrades, and service specifics will take time to determine. Moose Jaw Co-op is committed to communicating openly and providing updates along the way as plans are confirmed and the transition progresses.

As we move forward, we want to emphasize that the success of Co-op services in the Imperial area depends on strong community support. By choosing to shop locally and fuel locally, members directly help ensure that these essential services remain available for years to come.

Moose Jaw Co-op looks forward to serving the Imperial community with strength, stability, and a shared commitment to sustainability.
