Ever since U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs on Canadian goods, consumer concerns have grown over the availability and pricing of Canadian and local products, leading to Canadian shoppers becoming more vigilant, ensuring they support stores that carry Canadian and locally produced goods, regardless of the commodity.
Legacy Co-op Marketing Manager Jessie Huber told SaskToday.ca that the organization is proactively addressing concerns surrounding potential product shortages and pricing impacts.
To maintain consistent stock levels, Legacy Co-op closely monitors its inventory and maintains strong relationships with multiple suppliers, allowing for flexibility in sourcing and helping to mitigate potential disruptions.
The organization continues to assess Canadian product availability and introduce new options to meet consumer demand.
To help customers identify local products, the store has introduced enhanced in-store signage and labels, highlighting items from Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Western Canada, as well as those designated Made in Canada.
Huber emphasized that Legacy Co-op remains committed to fair pricing, reassuring customers that the company will not raise prices opportunistically and will continue offering value without compromising quality.
