Elsewhere, in East Angus (near Sherbrooke), Super C and Jean Coutu opened their doors—representing a total investment of $20 million.

Spanning nearly 36,000 square feet, Super C’s 124th store in Quebec offers freshly prepared meat, value-sized products and a selection of local and regional goods.

The discount banner's new store also offers self-checkout counters, Metro’s Click & Collect service and home delivery.

Éric Desmarais serves as store manager.

“The opening of our East Angus store is part of a series of strategic expansions that strengthen our position as Quebec’s leading discount retailer,” Anna Kolakowski, senior vice-president, Super C, in a press release.

As part of the opening celebrations, the store presented a $5,000 cheque to Moisson Estrie.

The new Jean Coutu, meanwhile, spans 12,500 square feet. Owned by pharmacists Nicolas Provost and Lucas Zhang, the location features a laboratory with a new layout and three consultation rooms.

Available services include online appointment booking, free prescription delivery, Jean Coutu’s It’s Ready notifications and vaccination services, as well as self-service lockers for prescription pick-up.

The location’s retail area features a cosmetics department, a seasonal section and two self-checkout counters. Delivery and in-store pick-up services are also available.
