When you're a Mid Island Co-op Member, you're also an Owner.

What it means to be a Co-op Member:

  • Receive equity rebates on purchases (excluding gift cards). For the 2024 fiscal year, patronage allocation percentages were 3% on Petroleum Products, 2% on Confectionery and 2% on Liquor.
  • Have a voice in how the Co-op operates. You are entitled to a vote at the AGM and run for the Board of Directors.
  • Local residents own the Co-op, so it is a part of your community. That means that all of our earnings stay in the communities we serve.
  • A portion of earnings each year is reinvested through community contributions. These contributions are in the form of donations and sponsorships to organizations, not-for-profits, and events that positively impact the communities we serve. In 2025, we reinvested over $640,000, supporting over 100 organizations in the process.
  • By shopping Co-op, you contribute to your own and your community’s economic and social well- being through job creation and continued reinvestment.

How it Works:

Each time you use your member number your purchases are recorded. At the end of the year, members-owners are entitled to a share in the company profits based on their purchases with the Co-op. These profits are paid out partially in equity and partially in cash if eligible. Becoming a member-owner is a one-time investment of $10.00 which is refundable upon closing your membership.
