A small, neighbourhood convenience store — bigger than a dairy but smaller than a proper supermarket. The term is especially common in New Zealand, where the local superette is a fixture of suburban life: open long hours, slightly overpriced, and reliably stocked with bread, milk, chips, and emergency wine. In South Africa, 'superette' similarly describes a small self-service grocery store. The word has a cheerful, diminutive quality that fits the stores it describes — not grand, but quietly essential.
