Superstore was a 30 minute comedy which followed the adventures of three employees of a discount big-box store.

Called Cloud 9, #1217, the store was like a character of its own, and its relatability. It was likely because the store reminded people of their local Walmart. What is Superstore’s relationship with Walmart? You can find out more here!

Walmart is Superstore.

Although Cloud 9 is a hypermarket that appears in Superstore has many similarities with Walmart’s real-life chain, none of the actors have ever claimed officially that Walmart was the location. Cloud 9 features elements from Target as well as Walmart. Target has been named as a potential rival.

Is Cloud 9 Real?

Cloud 9, the hypermarket featured in the TV sitcom Superstore, is a fictional retail chain. It’s not real. However, it has many similarities with real large-box chains.

Cloud 9 corporation is listed as having its headquarters in Chicago according to Superstore Wiki. They also have other offices around the world.

Its fictional employment practices leave much to be desired; employees do not receive paid maternity leave, health insurance, or overtime.

Cloud 9 employees are limited to one bathroom per shift. Lunch is only provided for 15 minutes.

Similar to real corporate offices, the main office controls all locks, music and temperature for each store.

Cloud 9’s store brand is very similar to Walmart Great Value. Originally it was Halo but it later changed to SuperCloud.

Superstore: A parody of Walmart

Superstore, if we believe Oxford Languages as true then it is an imitation of Walmart.

Superstore will probably be surprised at how exaggerated Walmart is.

See these Walmart workers’ real-life accounts of some of the crazy moments they witnessed.

Sometimes life is even more astonishing than fiction.

Walmart Superstore Writer:

It doesn’t seem that Walmart writers and producers were actually employed by them, but they did work with OUR Walmart.

OUR Walmart is now called United4Respect. It’s a labor advocacy non-profit that advocates for greater equity and equality in retail employment.

Composed of both former and current employees, it’s no wonder OUR Walmart/United4Respect was able to help the creators at Superstore portray ultra-realistic scenarios.

What if Superstore was filmed in an actual store?

Showbiz Cheatsheet says that many actors mistook them for employees.

Producing the second season had been a success. Filming took place at Universal Studios, California. It was on a three-story soundstage.

Walmart Supercenter covers an average of 182,000 square feet. However, this set was not going to have that many people.

To give it the appearance of an enormous building, they set up around 22,000 sq. feet. This makes it look like the store stretches on for much longer.

These items, such as the scanners and check registers that you see at checkout are actual and made from recycled products from Ralph’s.

Superstore’s Products: Is It Real?

Superstore is a great place to shop, as you’ll see many well-known brands.

Superstore granted clearance agreements to these brands such as Keurig or Pepsi. This allows them display their labels on screen.

Some Quora users believe that Superstore may have paid the brands for product placements.

Cloud 9 offers a variety of brand-name items to make it feel like the pieces are more genuine.

Cloud 9 is a familiar, if not frighteningly familiar, store compared with the Walmart stores our family visits.

Walmart can be found on Wayfair.com. You will also find information regarding whether Walmart operates a tax-exempt program and how Walmart handles VSP/EyeMed.

Cloud 9’s Superstore employees and Cloud 9 certainly feel like Walmart. But none of its creators have ever made an official statement stating this.

I think that’s wise, because a show like Superstore speaks to the universal experience of retail workers everywhere, whether it’s Walmart, Target or any other department store out there.

Cloud Nine Superstore real or a hoax?
