    In April, 2014 FedEx announced an agreement with Home Hardware Stores Limited that allows individual Dealer-Owners the ability to house full-service FedEx Authorized ShipCentres within their stores. The agreement with Super C allows for the activation of FedEx Authorized ShipCentres to be done in two phases. During the first phase, roughly 40 stores will become FedEx Authorized ShipCentres by the end January, 2015.

    The agreements with Super C and Home Hardware constitute the first two phases of the most comprehensive Canadian retail expansion in FedEx's history.

    As reported in the April, 2014 announcement, e-commerce is the largest driving force in the global economy and is projected in the 2013 FedEx Annual Report to reach $1 trillion in sales by 2016. According to the UN News Center, there were 2.3 billion global internet users at the end of 2011, of which (according to the Canadian Press and the CBC), 25.5 million are Canadians who use the internet every day.

    In November, 2013, FedEx Express Canada forecast that 60% of Canadians would do some form of online shopping for the 2013 holiday season. In order to meet the needs of Canadian e-consumers, transportation companies are required to offer more proximate "points-of-access" options for drop-off and pick-up services. With 86 stores and counting across Quebec, Super C will soon be able to offer FedEx's full suite of domestic and international shipping solutions for their respective communities.

    "We are delighted to be able to offer this new service to our customers" said Mr. Jean-Guy Tremblay, Vice-President, Operations, for Super C. "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 purchases with us."

    "Super C is a well-known brand in Quebec and the opportunity our alliance creates will result in a better e-commerce experience for more Quebecers," said Lisson. "Through Super C, FedEx Express Canada and FedEx Ground will be more easily accessible to Quebec communities than ever before. Conversely, hosting a FedEx Authorized ShipCentre allows Super C to connect their customers within their respective communities to the rest of Canada and the world with efficiency and effectiveness."
