Who's supporting COOP?

I'm in Alberta and we have a fairly big COOP presence. They have groceries, fuel, booze, and hardware. $5 gets you a share. They pay out dividends each year too!

Unfortunately some of their items are more expensive because they lack the buying power of other larger (I'm looking at you loblaws) stores. The best way to change this is to have more people in store increasing sales, throughput, and ultimately increasing their buying power

Anyone else a COOP booster?
