In 1948 Red River Co-op opened their first food stores in Winnipeg.In 1983, due to poor financial performance they ceased food store operations; they shifted focus on their gas bar operations.
In 2014, when Sobeys acquired Safeway, they were forced to sell 23 locations by the federal Competition Bureau. Federated Co-operatives acquired four locations in Winnipeg and transferred ownership to Red River Co-op. This marked the resumption of food store operations.
