Truserv Canada´s sales figures were about 24% higher than in the previous year. Chairman and Interim CEO, Pierre Levesque, explained at the corporation´s annual October Market that this increase is largely due to an increase in membership to 41 and the acquisition of 110 Country Depot and FS Coop members. New marketing programmes covering the sectors gardening and painting and decorating were also launched at the event. This was the largest ever October Market held by the Canadian corporation with about 400 corporate members and around 400 exhibitors attending.
