For the second straight year, a store within the Dauphin Co-op has received the Co-operative Retail System Home Centre Commitment to Excellence Award for Retail.
This year, it is the Ste Rose Home and Building Centre getting the recognition from Federated Co-op Limited for the Manitoba and Southern Saskatchewan area.
The award marks a first for Co-ops across Western Canada, as no Co-op retail has ever won the award two years in a row.
Stephen Bunka, the manager for Dauphin Co-op's Building Division, credits a strong focus on brand identity across the division as the reason for their success.
The CRS Home and Building Solutions Department recognizes excellence in Retailing every year, with this award being presented to those Home & Building Centres that achieves excellence in financials, operations, customer experience, and community involvement
