Westview Co-op now has a consumer fuel presence in Hanna after purchasing the Husky site in the community.
In November of 2021 Federated Co-op, on behalf of local Co-ops in their systems agreed to invest $264 million to acquire 181 Husky retail fuel stations, from wholly owned subsidiaries of Cenovus. These are a mix of gas bars, on-site car washes and convenience stores.
In August of this year, the Canadian Competition Bureau approved the acquisition, it represents the largest retail acquisition in FCL history. With this the Hanna Husky is now operated by Westview Co-op, growing its service in the community.
“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 Mike Isaak, General Manager. “Adding these sites to our fuel network signals our Co-op’s commitment to growing and serving our community for the long term.”
Westview Co-op officially took ownership of this site when the deal closed on Sept.13.
This fuel site will continue to operate under the Husky brand until it is re-branded as Co-op. 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 site 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 these new locations while they are branded as Husky.
