Metro : A new Super C opens in St-Donat

A new Super C opens in St-Donat

An investment of nearly $2.8 million

St-Donat, May 16, 2024 - After several weeks of construction, the 108^th Super C store officially opened its doors this morning in St-Donat, Québec. Thanks to an investment of nearly $2.8 million, this new 29,000 square foot store employs 70 people, with the vast majority being Metro former employees, as well as about 30 new colleagues. The inauguration took place on Wednesday evening in the presence of many dignitaries and members of the management.

Grocery shopping in store or online

The Super C banner, which was recognized as Quebec's leading discount retailer in terms of customer experience by the WOW Léger 2023 study, opens its doors in a building located at 870 Rue Principale. In keeping with the evolving needs of consumers, customers can shop in the spacious aisles of the store or online through the click and collect option. In addition, self-serve checkouts have been installed, as in all Super C stores, to speed up and improve customer service.

To celebrate this major investment in the community, Super C also presented a $5,000 cheque to Moisson Lanaudière, a long-time partner, notably through our food recovery program One More Bite.

"The addition of this new store is part of a deployment plan that will allow us to consolidate our position as the best discounters in Quebec. We are proud to say that we have the best quality-price ratio," said Loïc Cloutier, Senior Vice President - Super C. "Our teams work hard every day to offer consumers quality products at very competitive prices and a shopping experience that is both simple and efficient. We are committed to three guarantees - Always Fresh, Always in Stock and Always Great Prices."

Super C, the best quality-price ratio

The new team is ready to offer the community a wide variety of fresh products and groceries, adapted to local demand, at very competitive prices. And that's what Super C is known for: offering fresh and quality products at low prices. The Super C store in St-Donat also offers a wide variety of fresh meats, large-format, organic and natural products, a selection of craft beers and microbrews, as well as Première Moisson products.

Super C is part of the Moi rewards program, which enables customers of Super C, Metro, Jean Coutu, Brunet and Première Moisson to save even more by accumulating points in nearly 900 stores and redeeming them instantly at the checkout to save more on their everyday essentials.
