Four Rivers Co-op is assuring its customers that food and fuel will be available at their stores as B.C. goes into a state of emergency amid devastating floods.

In a Nov. 17 Facebook post, Co-op said they have had several inquiries about the source of their food and fuel supply.

Co-op鈥檚 food and convenience stories are primarily supplied by their own warehouse in Edmonton, Alberta. Even though there are some items sourced from the Lower Mainland, a majority of Co-op鈥檚 products, especially 鈥渒ey staple food items鈥� come from that warehouse in Edmonton. 鈥淎nd this makes us confident that we will be able to keep our food store stocked,鈥� stated the social media post.

In terms of their fuel supply, it comes from Regina, Sask. and Prince George. In Regina, fuel from the Co-op Refinery Complex is railed into Prince George, where its loaded into trucks and distributed to various location.

鈥淲orking with our supply partners, we are not anticipating interruptions in fuel supply at this time.鈥�

Even though they are expecting minimal impact to the food store in Vanderhoof and petroleum locations, Co-op is asking members to keep the neighbours to the south in mind.

鈥淭hey are experiencing significant hardships and interruptions to their way of life. As residents of B.C. let鈥檚 all work together to pull through these difficult times.鈥�
