Super C is a Quebec discount supermarket chain with 98 stores in Quebec. The stores average in size. Super C offers 8,000 products including some 1,200 products from the Super C private label brand. Super C traces its origins as La Ferme Carnaval founded on September 15, 1982 which opened a supermarket under the trade name Super Carnaval on January 12, 1983 in Beauport, Quebec. The company was acquired by Metro-Richelieu on June 1, 1987 from Toronto-based Burnac Corporation. In 1991, the 14 Super Carnaval outlets were converted in phases to the new banner Super C with the last stores renamed by May 1992. Since then, Super C has expanded by either obtaining the lease of vacant shopping mall anchor spaces, building its own free-standing stores or replacing Metro-branded locations. Only a handful of today's Super C outlets are former Super Carnaval grocery stores. In mid-2006, all but one of the 9 remaining Ontario stores were converted to Food Basics or Loeb stores. The Pembroke, Ontario store closed, and the building is now occupied by Value Village. In 2013, there were 85 Super C's across the province of Quebec.
