(Montreal, November 12, 2009) – Super C is proud to open its 65th store, located at 770 Laure Blvd. in Sept-Îles. This major project required a $3.7 million investment and helped create 60 jobs for the community.

The 25,000-square-foot Sept-Îles Super Coffers a Market section featuring a large selection of fresh produce, and an Outlet section for grocery products. Customers will also discover a meat counter with high-quality meats prepared by in-house butchers, aisles of frozen foods and groceries, a bakery section where fresh breads are baked daily, a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and low prices year round .

"We are proud to offer Sept-Îles residents a new generation of discount stores where they can take advantage of substantial savings on thousands of products," said Jean-Guy Tremblay, Vice-President, Operations, Super C. "This store meets the needs of customers who appreciate the convenience of finding fresh products and reasonable prices in the same supermarket. "

In order to reduce its environmental footprint, Super C management integrated several energy-saving measures into the Sept-Îles store. The refrigeration system is equipped with an electronic controller for optimal functioning and energy savings. The heat generated by the compressors is also used to heat part of the store. Finally, all of the refrigerated counters are equipped with high-efficiency fans.

Store manager Éric Turcotte and his team invite all residents of Sept-Îles and the surrounding area to visit the store and discover the new Super C – the first of a new generation of stores.
