A new Real Canadian Superstore location is coming to southwest Edmonton.

The City of Edmonton issued a building permit on June 10 for the construction of a new grocery store at 20111 Maskêkosihk Tr. NW in the rapidly growing Riverview community.

According to Alberta Major Projects, construction is expected to begin this year.

Daily Hive reached out to Loblaw, the parent company of Real Canadian Superstore, which confirmed the new location will open in the latter half of 2027.

“We are always evaluating how best to serve growing communities, and this new location is part of that commitment. The store will offer the full shopping experience customers have come to expect from Real Canadian Superstore locations,” Loblaw told Daily Hive.

“We’ll be sure to share further details as they become available.”

The news comes during a rocky year for Edmonton’s grocery landscape, particularly for independent retailers.

In late May, Sunterra Market announced it would close its Commerce Place location after 32 years, ending a long run as a downtown staple. Specialty grocer Tesoro also revealed it will close its Windermere location after less than two years in business.

Earlier this year, L’OCA Quality Market shut down its Edmonton and Sherwood Park stores, with staff telling Daily Hive, “it’s just not a feasible business anymore.”

At the same time, several major chains are expanding. Along with the new Real Canadian Superstore in Riverview, Loblaw-owned No Frills, as well as Costco, are also opening new locations in the city.
