superette

Small neighborhood grocery

A superette is a small grocery store, larger than a corner shop but smaller than a full supermarket.

The term suggests a modest self-service store offering basic provisions: The neighborhood superette stayed open late.

Common in urban areas where space is limited, superettes fill the gap between convenience stores and proper supermarkets.
