Sales & Retail | Liquor Store Associate - PT

Our crafted legacy stems from 1977, when a group of residents from the Saanich Peninsula started Peninsula Co-op. Driven by a shared belief in community and cooperative values, they embarked on a journey with the simple goal of serving, supporting and connecting their neighbours. The spirit of that inaugural year is the inspiration in our liquor stores, but it’s not just about savouring the past. It’s about inviting people to craft memorable moments, one sip at a time, while pouring love back into our community. We’re a different kind of business. And that difference begins with membership.
