Discovery Co-op ranked in top half of business magazine’s top 100

Marketing and Communications Manager Leanne Ducommun attributes Co-op’s diversity with contributing to their rise in the ranks.

“The one really great thing about the Co-op is the diversity of all the commodities that we have. The community and our members tells us what the needs of the community are and we do our best to ensure that we provide those needs for the community and I believe that is a huge contribution to the success that we’ve seen,” she said.

Discovery Co-op has a long history of appearing on the SaskBusiness Top 100 list but this year is the highest they have ever finished.

In total, 26 Saskatchewan-based retail co-ops are included on the SaskBusiness list. Ducommun said the number of co-ops on the list show the strength of the retail co-operatives.

“We are a member-owned company and I think the numbers really speak for themselves and the strength of Saskatchewan. We have always based our brand on listening to our members and community needs and giving back. We also pride ourselves on being locally owned and I think these things are very important to the future of businesses and the amount of co-ops listed on the list really show that,” she said.

Ducommun said Discovery Co-op continually strives to improve and will look to finish even higher on the list next year.

“We are always pre-planning. We are always trying to forward think about what we can do to better the community and better the things we provide as services. We are constantly looking for data on what is going to be needed and anticipate the needs of the community. That is where we are headed and we hope to have great success with that.”
