The 100th store of the Super C chain opens in Saint-Jérôme
An investment of $13 million

Saint-Jérôme, November 3, 2022 – After several months of construction, the 100th Super C store officially opened its doors this morning in Saint-Jérôme, near Highway 15. Thanks to a $13 million investment, this new 40,000 square foot store has created approximately100 jobs. The inauguration took place on Wednesday evening in the presence of many dignitaries and members of the management.

Grocery shopping in store or online

Located at 105 Roland-Godard Boulevard, Super C Saint-Jérôme is opening in a brand-new building. The banner, which was recently recognized by Protégez-vous magazine for offering the lowest-priced grocery basket in Quebec, is also inaugurating its 11th store in the Laurentians region. 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, the store also presented a $5,000 cheque to Moisson Laurentides, a long-time partner, notably through our food recovery program One More Bite.

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 Saint-Jérôme also offers meats prepared onsite by a team of experts, a wide variety of large-format products, many organic and natural products, a selection of craft beers and microbrews, as well as Première Moisson products.
