Calgary Co-op Brentwood Food Centre

Came in here to pick up food but left with nothing. Why? Because as I was turning the corner by an isle a co-op worker who clearly saw me because I was looking right at her turns the corner after & rams me with her cart then says “opsie sorry”. I was limping from surgery on my foot, have stitches and she some how can’t see me? Of course nothing will happen and that’s why we have horrible customer service and people don’t care about hurting others. I attached my stitches just to show that I am injured and noticeably limping so for this worker to do what she did is beyond rude. I don’t know why she would look at me and then do this! Did she think I was walking slow on purpose? It’s really disgusting that there are people out there that do this to strangers. Why? Shame on you co-op lady!

Although Coop may be expensive, they consistently offer exceptional fresh produce and prioritize sourcing ingredients from local producers. Additionally, the store maintains a high level of cleanliness and employs a welcoming staff.

Calgary Co-op Corporate has lost its way. This review is not meant to particularly target this store but this is the store that I generally shopped at. The Staff at this store are awesome people and I enjoyed interacting with them but enough is enough. I Refuse to support Calgary Co-op any longer.
All the benefits that I enjoyed by purchasing from them have been eliminated. Better off going to their competitors and receiving instant rewards rather than waiting for them to send out your patronage cheque. An added bonus is you get to look forward to a t4-a for tax purposes. They seem to want to be a giant convenience store. Not a good place for people that buy quality products and ingredients. Black forest cakes are absolutely ridiculous and lazily made. Just charge more for a decent product rather than destroy your great products. Too bad your shareholders have to die to get their shares paid out to them if they choose not to be a part of the organization.

Good luck staying in business.

It was expensive compared to the superstore. Some of the products are not fresh as well. Not much recommended.

We received our 2021 co-op cheque a few months ago, as we moved and it had gotten lost in the shuffle. We called the number at the top of the cheque to see if they could issue a new one, as it was now a year old and had our old address on it, the person assured us we could use it like cash in store, and the date/address would not matter. Just need picture ID to match the name. Good enough. We just received our 2022 cheque to our new address, and decided to use both cheques on the weekend. We went to Brentwood Co-op, and had the most humiliating experience of our lives. We had 2 kids, already tired and upset, and the cashier giving us a hard time about the address, and it being outdated. We let him know we had called and were assured it was fine - he could call himself. They told us we could use it in store, but not deposit it at the bank. The cashier called over the self-checkout cashier (maybe manager on duty?), and he told our cashier it's fine. Our cashier proceeded to berate us, asking who we spoke to, how did we speak with customer service when they left 1 hour ago. We again, let him know we called the number on the cheque, not the store customer service. He continued to make a scene. This was mortifying - and we will never be returning to your store again. I work in customer service and would NEVER treat another person this way. Your cashier Giam has a lot to learn about empathy, compassion, humility, kindness and respect.

Didn't have everything I was looking for but store was pretty well stocked and staff friendly. Found a few deals too.

The prices are mid range, similar to safeway, and a bit higher then walmart/freshco.

I usually get meat & fresh seafood products from here though cause it's always fresh compared to my experience at other places. You can usually get ground pork and pork shoulder blades for cheaper and depending on the time, things like meat, yogurt, pasta sauce.may be discounted up to 50% off or there's a $2-3 off sticker.

This is the only place I trust for fresh fish fillets near me. Got one someplace else which looked good and the best before wasn't labeled till 3 days later, but when I opened the package it REEKED. This has never happened with coops fish.

Close to home not the biggest grocery store but has the small town feel
Easy access to the cannabis store and gas bar
Just wish there was a connect first credit union attached to is
