Loblaw entered Atlantic Canada through the acquisition of Atlantic Wholesalers, owner of the [[SaveEasy]] chain, in 1976.
In 1986, the company opened its first large-scale grocery store in [[Moncton]], New Brunswick, using the name '''The Real Atlantic Superstore'''. In 1995 the name was shortened to the present one
During the 1990s, the company's headquarters were relocated from Sackville to [[Dartmouth, Nova Scotia]]. New warehousing facilities for [[Just In Time (business)|just in time]] logistics distribution were built, and a huge expansion campaign brought new large-format stores to many centres in the region within a period of only several years. In the early 2000s, a marketing campaign was introduced to the superstores, changing their slogan to "Eat Well, Spend Less". This was like a campaign carried out in Loblaws stores in Ontario. With the arrival of the [[Real Canadian Superstore]] concept in Ontario, Atlantic Superstore used a similar marketing campaign with the slogan "Prices You Can Trust". This concept was used until 2009 when the "Just Lower Prices" campaign was launched.
