There are approximately 107 superstores. 26 locations in Alberta, 25 locations in British Columbia, 11 locations in Manitoba, 38 locations in Alberta, 7 locations in Saskatchewan and 1 in Yukon. Superstore have some of there own products from President Choice and Joe’s clothing. President Choice produce food, home living room supplies and also lawn and garden. Joe’s clothing range from children’s to adults men and woman clothing. Superstore sells products from home, home & lifestyles, health, cosmetics, food etc. The also include an home electronics’ section and an pharmacy. Superstore is free to customers to shop. Anyone is welcome to shop there. There is no specific way to shop at Superstore. You do not a members cards. Their official website is http://superstore.ca. What I like about the site is at the beginning when you enter the website, it asks for your location, province and which store locater you’re looking for. Its easy for me and to other people that live in different provinces. When you enter the site, it has links that lead you to different categories. Its easy to look what you’re finding for. The site is legible and eye catching. Superstores Competitors are Wal-Mart, Safeway, Zellers, Sobeys Costco etc. Most of these stores are not so far from each other. These stores can hinder their business big time. Stealing is another problem. The company looses products and they’d have to pay for it. It could cause a problem later in the future.
