Red River Co-op planned for downtown Winnipeg

Red River Co-op is building a new full-service food story and pharmacy in Winnipeg.

Part of the redevelopment of Portage Place in the city's downtown, the store will span 22,500 square-feet with a 6,500 square-foot pharmacy. 

“Red River Co-op was founded nearly 90 years ago on the belief that people working together can create stronger communities. Our investment in the Portage Place redevelopment reflects that same belief today,” said Craig Gilpin, Red River Co-op CEO, in a press release. “This project is about more than building a food store and pharmacy, it is about bringing essential services back to the heart of our city, investing locally, and helping create a downtown Winnipeg that future generations will be proud to call their own.”

The chain's 10th food store and pharmacy is anticipated to create 57 local jobs.

Red River Co-op is part of Federated Co-operatives Ltd.
