Co-op to further their mission to support local producers."
"We are proud to support a Canadian-owned and operated business,
like Odd Burger," says James
Lelonde, Meat Category Director at Calgary Co-op. "We see
tremendous potential for the Odd Burger retail line with our
customers and we are thrilled to make them available at all of our
