Community Support Drives Successful Partnership Between ALCIVIA Cenex and the Columbus School District

ALCIVIA is pleased to announce that the second round of the support program with the Columbus School District has successfully come to a close on June 30, resulting in a donation of $11,410 to the district.

In the fall of 2020, ALCIVIA launched a partnership with the Columbus School District in which the ALCIVIA Cenex would donate 5% of all sales generated inside the store and 5 cents per gallon of gas purchased when customers shopped using their rewards program card.

“We’re very appreciative of ALCIVIA’s continued support and partnership,” said Columbus School District Superintendent Annette Deuman. “CSD used the proceeds from the program to help fund our new playground equipment for our 4k through first grade children.”

ALCIVIA is grateful for the support from local patrons to make this partnership so successful. ALCIVIA hopes to expand the program to other school districts where they operate Cenex convenience stores. Tim Toraason, who oversees all of ALCIVIA’s Cenex convenience stores, said: “As a locally owned cooperative, ALCIVIA is proud to give back to the communities we serve. We’re very pleased with the success of the Columbus partnership, and look forward to expanding the program in the future.”

Your information technology team at ALCIVIA continues to work on the unification of the legacy Countryside and Landmark networks, software and communications platforms.

One of our highest priorities is the migration of @countrysidecoop.com and @landmark.coop email addresses to @ALCIVIA.com. As you’ll notice, the ALICIVA team and our website are still using legacy email addresses from both Countryside Cooperative and Landmark Services Cooperative. We’re currently working through the transition to the new ALCIVIA.com domain name. Once complete, the ALCIVIA team and our general contact email addresses will be changed to reflect our new name.

During this transition we’re focusing on an approach that provides continuity in ongoing communication with our members, customers, partners and vendors. All legacy email addresses will continue to work and will forward to our new email addresses. This approach will allow us to communicate the transition and ensure that email communications are not lost. The legacy email addresses will eventually be decommissioned after a successful transition period.

Please look for communications in the near future as we start to engage in this transition.

Merged Cooperatives Reveal New Brand – Bringing the Best of Both Into One

Cottage Grove, Wis, (July 6, 2021)—On July 6, the cooperative formed by the March 1, 2021, merger of Countryside Cooperative and Landmark Services Cooperative became ALCIVIA (pronounced ALL-siv-ia).

As a member-owned cooperative powered by engaged employees with a single mission, shared vision and common values, ALCIVIA is a community of passionate individuals driven by a common desire to help customers succeed.

“We feel the new brand energizes and empowers our team to make the future even brighter for our members, customers and employees,” said Jim Lange, Chairman of the Board of ALCIVIA. “Our new tagline, ‘ALL. TOGETHER. NOW.’, speaks to the shared excitement we all feel about how the merger represents the very best of both cooperatives. Embodying the cooperative spirit, ALCIVIA exists to succeed together.”

The name ALCIVIA says “all together” in a distinctive way, coming from the same root as common words for community like “civic” and “civility.” In addition to the new name and supporting brand materials, the cooperative introduced a new logo with an upward-facing arrow shape to reaffirm their forward-thinking, positive culture.

“The brand development process involved extensive customer research, as well as close collaboration between the Board of Directors and a wide cross-section of employees over many months,” according to Jim Dell, CEO and President of ALCIVIA. “Our mission, vision and values were foundational to the effort, which led to a distinctive, meaningful name that’s true to who we are and the value our customers can expect to get both now and in the future.”

Additional details about the new brand and the cooperative’s commitments can be found at ALCIVIA.com.
