There’s a gap in the marketplace between large-scale grocery stores and tiny convenience stores, and the Urban Superette is here to fill that gap. Located in mixed-use environments within dense population centers, the Urban Superette’s high traffic and visibility make it a hub of activity. With its sleek and refined decor, the store’s fresh, inviting look consistently attracts a diverse customer base that includes professionals, students, building residents, and families.
While other industry players often rely on mediocre food offerings, our urban markets offer fresh, appealing, flavorful and, where possible, locally sourced options (think fresh breads, coffee and espresso-style drinks, and craft beer). A wide selection of grocery items and quick-serve prepared foods are intended to maximize profits, while our finish-to-order program is designed with speed of service in mind and keeps production costs down.
Additionally, customers are encouraged to sit and stay awhile as they enjoy their snacks and beverages. And because the urban lifestyle doesn’t always conform to business hours, the Urban Superette store format may offer building residents the opportunity to purchase essentials outside of operating hours. With this option, occupants can gain access via electronic access control, then shop for items, and scan their merchandise at a self-checkout.
