New Superstore Set to Open Outside Calgary: What It Means for Expats and Digital Nomads

Just outside Calgary, a new giant grocery store is gearing up to open its doors, and it’s not to be missed. The Real Canadian Superstore at Buffalo Run is set to open on Thursday, Nov. 26, and it’s got something for everyone, especially those with big families or who love to cook.

The store spans a massive 102,300 square feet, offering everything from fresh produce to full-service meat, seafood, and bakery departments. It’s the first location in Alberta to be developed alongside the Indigenous community, with custom artwork from four Indigenous artists adorning the walls. This collaboration is a significant step towards inclusivity and cultural representation in the grocery store industry.

For expats and digital nomads living in Calgary, this news is exciting. If you’ve been missing the bigger stores from home or are looking for a one-stop-shop for all your grocery needs, this could be a valuable addition. Whether you’re a regular grocery shopper or a food enthusiast, the store’s opening could mean less time spent on errands and more time enjoying the city.

However, the commute from the city center to Buffalo Run might be a consideration. For those with long commutes or limited mobility, the travel time could be a downside. But, the store’s grand opening celebration, starting at 7 a.m., might be worth the early wake-up call for those keen on the excitement.
