October was National Co-op Month. The theme for 2017 was “Co-op’s Commit”. This theme holds true for us as we remain committed to our Members as well as the community. 
Mega! CO-OP took part in this celebration with a Community Giving promotion, Weekly drawings for Travel Mugs & Free Beverage, Car Wash Vouchers, Car Care Packages and $25 Gas Gift Cards (one winner each week at 30 locations!), as well as three Grand Prize drawings for a $500 Gas Gift Card, Travel Mug & Free Beverage for a Year, and One Free Car Wash per Month for a Year. In addition, we circulated Member Only Emails that included coupons.
Our convenience stores even had fun during this event. Team Members showed off their Co-op spirit by putting up creative displays. A panel of judges had the honor, but tough job, of voting for the top three displays. These winners are:
- 1st Place – Mega! Holiday 3718 / 2230 Birch St, Eau Claire
- 3rd Place – Mega! Holiday 3742 / 600 Bridge St, Cornell
- 2nd Place – Mega! Holiday 3716 / 501 N. Bridge St, Chippewa Falls
Thank you to all our Members that participated in CO-OP Month!

We are very proud of each winning store, manager, and team member for working so hard to earn this recognition and award. The next time you stop by one of the winning stores, make sure you tell them CONGRATULATIONS!

CONVENIENCE STORE NEWS
It was a busy Fall for your Mega! CO-OP Operations group. We recently remodeled the Mega! Holiday Birch St. and Water St. locations in Eau Claire. Both stores were expanded and received new drink bars that offer our outstanding coffee and cappuccino and now have F’real shakes and smoothies. Both locations were refitted with island sandwich cases to expand our produce and sandwich lines. Outside we updated the look to a sleek stucco appearance with blue rod lighting accent, newly repaved lots, and replaced the gas pumps with new units that will be ready for a more secure credit card system.
We also upgraded the Mega! CO-OP Holiday on Texaco Drive (Hwy 312 and I-94) in Eau Claire with new blacktop on the semi-truck parking lot, replaced the gas pumps, added a new dog park for our four-legged friends, and now have a great selection of Wisconsin cheeses and locally-made meat snacks.
If you are out and about, stop by to see the changes that have taken place. We’re sure you will be pleased with the outcome!

TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
District Manager – Jeremy Dickinson
Jeremy has been in various roles with Mega! CO-OP since he joined our team in March 2014. He started at Mega! East grocery store and worked his way to Assistant Store Director. In early 2016, he transitioned to the Training Specialist role for our convenience stores to develop training programs for Manager Trainees and Certified Assistant Store Managers.
Jeremy continued to be eager to learn more about our stores as he spent four months as a Store Manager. His hard work and dedication earned him his most recent promotion to a District Manager, placing him in charge of 8 of our 33 convenience stores.
If he looks familiar it could be because you have seen him out and about in our stores or from one of his video posts on Facebook. Next time you see Jeremy make sure to say “Hi” and congratulate him on becoming a District Manager!
