National Supermarkets was the second largest grocery chain in both the St. Louis, Missouri and New Orleans, Louisiana areas of the United States. Both firms were owned by Loblaw Companies of Canada, but in June 1995, they were sold by Loblaw to Schnucks Markets.Immediately after that, per the FTC, Schnucks sold the National New Orleans division to Schwegmann Giant Super Markets of Metairie, Louisiana under the final order of the Federal Trade Commission (JUNE 5, 1995- FTC File No. 941 0130)
At the end of 1994, National operated 28 stores in the New Orleans area (in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama) under the following names:
National
Canal Villere (often referred to as "National/Canal-Villere")
Superstore

The former "The Real Uptown Superstore" building is still in operation as a Rouses supermarket.
Denham Springs, LA also had a National Supermarket (#18) that was simply known as "Superstore". The building still stands and is used as a home furnishings store.
