What is Superstore (TV) About?
Superstore is an American sitcom that portrays the daily operations and employee dynamics within Cloud 9, a fictional large retail store reminiscent of real-life superstores. Created by Justin Spitzer, the show aired on NBC between November 2015 and March 2021. It features an ensemble cast led by America Ferrera and Ben Feldman, who also contribute as executive producers. The employees form an unconventional family, where each character—from new recruits to seasoned veterans and from management to part-time staff—brings a unique perspective to the often humorous and occasionally poignant realities of retail work. Apart from its comedic elements, the sitcom touches on social issues such as corporate management, labor rights, and the experiences of immigrant workers. The show enjoys a diverse cast with characters of varying backgrounds, and it delves into their interpersonal relationships and career aspirations. One of the central figures, Amy Sosa, portrayed by Ferrera, is particularly noted for her career progression from the sales floor to store management, and her policy of wearing different name tags to maintain a semblance of privacy. The series concluded its run after six seasons, wrapping up the stories of the Cloud 9 employees in a way that remained true to its humorous roots while providing closure to long-running story arcs.
The first episode of Superstore aired on November 30, 2015 and the most recent episode to air was on March 25, 2021.
