- SuperValu (Canada)
Super Valu is a chain of franchised and associated grocery stores in
Canada that operates primarily in the western part of the country. In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, many Super Valu stores were created from formerLoblaws stores.Loblaw Companies Limited (through itsWestfair Foods division) supplies Super Valu stores and owns the Super Valu name.In the mid-1970s, a larger version of Super Valu 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 Super Valu stores remained (primarily inBritish Columbia ) as most had either been rebranded as "Extra Foods" or expanded into Real Canadian Superstore outlets (or the relatedReal Canadian Wholesale Club ).Current locations (partial list)

Many new SuperValu locations appeared in the
Maritime provinces in the early 1990s, operated byAtlantic Wholesalers , a subsidiary of Loblaw Companies Limited. Some stores were rebrandings of other banners, includingSaveEasy andVillage Food Stores , while others were completely new. These stores operated under the nameAtlantic SuperValu . A small number of these stores are still in operation although they are gradually being replaced by the larger "Atlantic Superstore".ee also
