The North Battleford Discovery Co-op Home Centre won a national award identifying it as an outstanding retailer earlier this month.

The 2017 Outstanding Retailer Awards were held in Niagara Falls, Ont. on Nov. 15, where the store won for Best Building Supply / Home Centre over fifteen thousand square feet.

According to a press release, the home centre won for being a strong, locally owned and operated organization, which values service excellence, teamwork and community service.  

According to the release, giving back to the community is important to the company as two per cent of profits are returned to North Battleford. Employees will be volunteering this Christmas to serve turkey dinners to thousands of kids at local schools. They also participate in Heart and Stroke Big Lake fundraiser.
