Taza Development Corporation (Taza) announced on Monday a partnership with Loblaw Companies Limited (Loblaw) to introduce a Real Canadian Superstore to the growing community village of Buffalo Run.
Buffalo Run is part of Taza’s innovative 1,200-acre development located just west of Calgary. This collaboration highlights a shared commitment towards providing diverse retail experiences in the area, serving nearby residents and visitors alike, said the development corporation.
“As a partnership between Tsuut’ina Nation and Canderel, Taza is one of the country’s most exciting and innovative developments. We are creating three dynamic village-style communities with a focus on providing diverse services and retailers. We welcome Loblaw and the Real Canadian Superstore to Buffalo Run, offering even more shopping choices for nearby residents and visitors alike,” said James Robertson, President of Taza Development Corporation.
“This is our first-ever Real Canadian Superstore in collaboration with an Indigenous community in Alberta. Taza is where culture, opportunity and community come together in a meaningful way. We are so pleased to invest in this innovative development and bring fresh, delicious food options and excellent customer service and be part of this growing area,” said Jonathan Carroll, Senior Vice President, Superstore Operations, Loblaw Companies Limited.
Construction of this newest location of the Real Canadian Superstore is set to start in 2025, with a projected opening date in 2026. The project is expected to create a number of employment opportunities during both the construction and operational phases of the project.
“The Real Canadian Superstore will offer an extensive selection of groceries, household goods, and general merchandise, catering to the needs of everyday shoppers. Its presence is set to further enhance the retail offerings at Buffalo Run, by complementing the current retail mix of the adjacent Shops at Buffalo Run, making the area an even more attractive and convenient shopping destination,” explained Taza in a news release.
“Upon completion, Buffalo Run will offer 390 acres of retail, dining and recreation experiences. It is one of three community villages within the overall development of Taza, which, upon completion, will house more than 700,000 square feet of retail across 1,200 acres. Since its inception, the development has seen the successful launch of more than 50 businesses across Buffalo Run and Taza Park, with more announcements to follow in the coming months.
“Set within Taza’s visionary 1,200-acre development just west of Calgary, Buffalo Run is poised to become a vibrant hub of retail, commerce, and convenience, meeting the growing need for essential amenities in the area. This groundbreaking partnership not only elevates the local shopping experience but also reinforces Taza’s unwavering commitment to fostering community growth and prosperity for both Tsuut’ina residents and visitors alike.”
