We are proud to share continued growth in Penticton as Angry Otter Liquor acquires the liquor store located at Cherry Lane Shopping Centre. The liquor store will soon be rebranded to Otter Co-op’s Angry Otter Liquor chain of stores, bringing us to a collective 31 liquor stores under the banner.

Angry Otter Liquor is currently the province’s largest private liquor retailer, with locations spanning throughout the Lower Mainland and Thompson-Okanagan regions. This acquisition has grown Otter Co-op to a total of six locations in Penticton, including four gas bars and the Angry Otter Liquor @ Riverside.

After rebranding, Otter Co-op memberships will be accepted and available for purchase at the locations. The best part? You don’t have to be a member to shop at Otter Co-op and Angry Otter Liquor locations, but for a once-in-a-lifetime $10 fee, you can also share in our profits, with members receiving regular equity back for their purchases.

“We are incredibly excited for the continued expansion of the Otter Co-op and Angry Otter Liquor brands.” Said Jack Nicholson, CEO of Otter Co-op. “This investment allows us to expand the number of services we directly provide our members within the Penticton community. As with all Otter commodities, we look forward to sharing our profits with our members and continuing to build on giving back to the communities in which we live, work, play and do business.”

What is an Otter Co-op membership?

Every Co-op is owned by its members, who buy a share in the company for a once-in-a-lifetime $10 fee. Once a member is approved, they will receive a Co-op number, through which they receive cash and equity back on their purchases based on the profits of the Co-op and the ability to vote for our board of directors at our annual meetings.
