On May 15th 2020 Loblaws opened up an &#8216;urban format&#8217; Real Canadian Superstore in the East Village, finally giving residents of the area somewhere to get necessities and groceries. This also means downtown Calgary residents can now get Presidents Choice and No Name brand products without having to leave the downtown core, saving on gas, transit or other transportation. The new downtown Superstore is located on the second floor of the building, with entrances on the west\/south sides. Escalators and stairs are on the SW corner, which is 1 block away from the c-train line and city hall stations. Parking is available.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;urban format&#8217; means this Superstore is a scaled down version of what you&#8217;re used to, and this store is also first for Canada. Think of it like Superstore Lite. For example, there&#8217;s no clothing section in this store, and instead of having a choice of 3-4 brands of products on the shelves, you may only see 1-3, kind of thing. Slimmed down but still packed full of quality. They&#8217;ve done a really good job of planning out and putting this store together. Even the shopping carts are slimmed down (and they still cost a loonie).<\/p>\n<p>Currently only Superstore is open in the building. The main floors of the building will eventually have Scotiabank, Olympia Liquor, TD Canada Trust and Winners as well.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"symple-divider dashed \" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Store Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Address <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/HLKQqzVPAiFMhKMH9\">428 6 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0G7<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Phone <a href=\"tel:\/\/8255139510\">(825) 513-9510<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Hours: (daily)\n<ul>\n<li>Seniors only: 7:00 AM &#8211; 8:00 AM<\/li>\n<li>General public: 8:00 AM &#8211; 10:00 PM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grocery pickup: drive into the parking area.

If you haven&#8217;t tried it, it&#8217;s normal Coca-Cola, but made with cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. It tastes quite different than what we&#8217;re used to here in Canada. A lot of people grew up drinking the version made with cane sugar and highly prefer the taste, which is why it&#8217;s on the shelf, people love it. You gotta try it at least once!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"symple-divider dashed \" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Really happy this store opened. It&#8217;ll save us time and money. President&#8217;s Choice and No Name products are high quality and worth the price (I find). No more having to spend money on bus fare to do a big Superstore grocery run! We didn&#8217;t see any sales or discounts, just normal Superstore prices, but they&#8217;re so cheap, it&#8217;s not really a problem.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;re your thoughts?
