Riverbend Co-op Grows Ag Presence
R
with Addition of Nokomis and Lanigan Locations
iverbend Co-op Grows Ag Presence with Addition of Nokomis and Lanigan Locations Riverbend Co-op is proud to announce the acquisition of two new Ag retail locations in Nokomis and Lanigan, along with an anhydrous ammonia bullet (tank) in Davidson, previously operated by the Blair’s Family of Companies. This move builds on the successful partnership between Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) and Blair’s, with Riverbend now taking full ownership of these assets as part of a broader transition across Saskatchewan. “We’re excited to welcome the Nokomis and Lanigan teams and their customers into the Riverbend Co-op family,” said Greg Sarvis, CEO of Riverbend Co-op. “This acquisition aligns with our vision to be the retailer of choice for the products and services we provide. It allows us to expand our footprint and serve more farm customers with the same level of trusted advice and community commitment they’ve come to rely on.” This is an important day for Western Cana-
dian agriculture. It marks a continued commitment to keeping key pieces of the ag supply chain owned and operated here in Saskatchewan—by the very members and communities who rely on these services to support their farms, livelihoods, and rural economies. Importantly, Riverbend Co-op intends to retain many of the familiar faces customers in Nokomis and Lanigan know and trust. “We know that strong relationships are at the heart of agriculture,” added Sarvis. “That’s why we’re excited to welcome these dedicated individuals to our team and continue serving customers with the same local care and expertise they expect.” “This is more than just an expansion—it’s a commitment to agriculture and to the communities we serve,” Sarvis continued. “We’re investing in people, relationships, and infrastructure to ensure we continue to grow alongside our members and customers.” With this transition, customers in Nokomis and Lanigan will continue to receive expert agronomic advice and can now use their Co-op
membership number for purchases, along with gaining access to expanded offerings through Riverbend Co-op. The official transition date is September 2, 2025.
