FedEx Express plans retail expansion throughout Canada

FedEx Express is due to continue its expansion within retail in Canada through its partnership with supermarket chain Super C. The contract sees the full-service FedEx Authorised ShipCentres being open within 86 of the supermarkets stores across Quebec alone. FedEx has said the partnership signifies the biggest opportunity for its FedEx Express and Ground businesses within Canada.

The newly introduced ShipCentres are anticipating opening in two phases, with phase one being complete by January 2015. Lisa Lisson, President of FedEx Express Canada, has spoken of how the agreement will help the company connect with online shoppers and small businesses: “Our alliance with Super C embeds our points-of-access deeper in communities across Quebec than ever before.”

This agreement with supermarket chain, Super C, follows the similar deal made with the Home Hardware Stores partnership which was agreed in April of this year. The current agreement will see the “most comprehensive” retail expansion by FedEx in Canada.

Lisson also added: “Through Super C, FedEx Express Canada and FedEx Ground will be more easily accessible to Quebec communities than ever before. Conversely, hosting a FedEx Authorised ShipCentre allows Super C to connect their customers within their respective communities to the rest of Canada and the world with efficiency and effectiveness.”

Vice President of Operations for Super C, Jean-Guy Tremblay, has spoken of the new agreement: “In a market as competitive as ours, it’s vital to differentiate ourselves and to provide value to our consumers. Having FedEx counters is an additional asset, for both our regular customers and for people using the FedEx counters, who will now be able to complete their purchase with us.”
