Calgary, Alberta – June 12, 2026 – Real Canadian Superstore, Tsuut’ina Nation and Taza Development Corp. (TDC) are marking the next phase of the new Superstore at Buffalo Run with a planned fall 2026 opening, with construction well underway.
The new Real Canadian Superstore at Buffalo Run will be the first Superstore in Alberta developed in collaboration with an Indigenous community. As a major retail presence within the growing Buffalo Run community, the store represents an important step in bringing everyday amenities, new employment opportunities and long-term economic benefits to the Tsuut’ina and Calgary regions.
“This development represents far more than a grocery store. It is another meaningful milestone in Taza’s vision to bring convenient, high-quality amenities to the region while supporting sustained, long-term economic growth for Tsuut’ina Nation. We are proud to see this partnership continue to take shape and look forward to the store opening later this fall.”— James Robertson, President of TDC.
With opening preparations now advancing, a hiring event for the new location will take place on Wednesday, August 26. The store will also create opportunities to continue building relationships with local and Indigenous vendors, while supporting Superstore’s broader commitment to Indigenous allyship and community partnership.
“At the heart of our business are people, purpose and passion. We are excited to bring meaningful employment opportunities to Buffalo Run, deepen relationships with Indigenous vendors and continue building on our longstanding allyship work across Canada. This store is part of something bigger, and we look forward to opening our doors to the community.”— Jonathan Carroll, Senior Vice President of Operations for Superstore
Additional details about the hiring event, store experience, vendor partnerships and grand opening plans will be shared closer to opening.
