SuperValu (Canada)
Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUP : SuperValu (Canada)
The Canadian SuperValu grocery store chain was active in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, with many SuperValu stores being created from former Loblaws outlets (the two chains are related). In the mid-1970s, a larger version of SuperValu was created. Dubbed the Real Canadian Superstore, these warehouse-sized grocery stores were closer to department stores in scope. By the mid-1990s, only a handful of smaller SuperValu stores remained as most had either been renamed as "Extra Foods" or expanded into Real Canadian Superstore outlets (or the related Real Canadian Wholesale Club).
Atlantic SuperValu
Many new SuperValu locations appeared in the Maritimes in the early 1990's, operated by Atlantic Wholesalers, a subsidiary of Loblaws. Some stores were rebrandings of other banners, including SaveEasy and Village Food Stores, while others were completely new. These stores operated under the name Atlantic SuperValu. A small number of these stores are still in operation although they are gradually being replaced by the larger Atlantic Superstore.See also
