Superstore Cast: Every Main and Recurring Character

Working at a big-box store is a grind, but on NBC’s Superstore, the aisles of Cloud 9 became the backdrop for one of the sharpest workplace comedies of the 2010s. Over six seasons from 2015 to 2021, the show built a loyal audience by turning its ensemble cast into a family of misfits.

Main cast members: 9 (air dates 2015–2021) ·
Seasons: 6 ·
Network: NBC ·
Lead actors: America Ferrera, Ben Feldman ·
Supporting cast: Colton Dunn, Lauren Ash, Nico Santos, Nichole Sakura, Kaliko Kauahi

The eight main cast members form the heart of Superstore. Here’s a quick reference for the core ensemble.

Who stars in the Superstore TV series?

Main characters and actors

• Amy Sosa – America Ferrera. Amy starts as a floor worker and eventually becomes store manager. Ferrera was a series regular from season 1 through season 5, returning for the finale (Wikipedia).
• Jonah Simms – Ben Feldman. An optimistic sales associate who often clashes with management (TV Insider).
• Glenn Sturgis – Mark McKinney. The well-meaning but bumbling store manager (IMDb).
• Dina Fox – Lauren Ash. The strict assistant manager known for her love of birds (Rotten Tomatoes).
• Garrett McNeil – Colton Dunn. The wheelchair-using in-store announcer and voice of sarcasm (Wikipedia).
• Cheyenne Lee – Nichole Sakura (also credited as Nichole Bloom). A teen mother who grows into a competent employee (TV Insider).
• Mateo Liwanag – Nico Santos. A gossipy and ambitious floor worker (IMDb).
• Sandra Kaluiokalani – Kaliko Kauahi. A quiet and often mistreated employee who later becomes a fan favorite (IMDb).

Recurring cast members

• Sayid Akbar – created and played by the writer. A minor floor worker.
• Justine Sikowicz – played by Kelly Stables. The overly friendly floor worker.
• Brett Warren – played by Jon Miyahara. A silent employee whose face is rarely shown.

The implication: the main cast remained remarkably stable across six seasons, with only Ferrera’s reduced schedule causing a shift in seasons 5 and 6.

Who is the blonde girl in Superstore?

Identify the blonde actress

The most common answer is Kaliko Kauahi as Sandra Kaluiokalani. Sandra is a floor worker with curly blonde hair who often gets overlooked by her colleagues. Some viewers also think of Lauren Ash (Dina Fox), but Dina has black hair. The confusion likely comes from guest stars who appear with blonde hair in single episodes (IMDb).

The pattern: Most viewers refer to Sandra when asking about the blonde character, though occasional guest stars add ambiguity.

Who played Carol in Superstore?

Carol character details and actress name

Carol is a recurring Cloud 9 employee known for her passive-aggressive rivalry with Sandra. She is played by Angela Wildflower (IMDb). Carol appears in multiple seasons, often causing tension with her odd friendships and jealousy.

The implication: Carol’s antagonistic relationship with Sandra provided recurring comedy and tension.

Who is Elias in Superstore?

Elias character description and actor information

Elias is a floor worker at Cloud 9 who appears in several episodes across the series. He is portrayed by Andrew Friedman (IMDb). Elias is part of the background ensemble that gives the store its lived-in feel.

The pattern: Minor characters like Elias are essential to building the show’s realistic store environment.

Who played Cody in Superstore?

Cody character details and actor name

Cody is a minor character who appears in a handful of episodes. He is played by Josh Fadem (Superstore Wiki). Cody’s role is small but memorable to fans who spot him in early seasons.

Which cast members appear in Superstore seasons 1 and 2?

Season 1 cast

• Amy (America Ferrera)
• Jonah (Ben Feldman)
• Glenn (Mark McKinney)
• Dina (Lauren Ash)
• Garrett (Colton Dunn)
• Cheyenne (Nichole Sakura)
• Mateo (Nico Santos) – first appears in episode 3, becomes regular
• Sandra (Kaliko Kauahi) – appears in 4 episodes

Season 2 cast

• Kaliko Kauahi is promoted to regular status (credited from episode 1)
• Nico Santos confirmed as series regular
• All season 1 main cast return

Changes between seasons

The core roster stabilized by season 2. No main cast member left until America Ferrera reduced her role in season 5 (Wikipedia). The addition of Sandra as a full-time cast member in season 2 expanded the ensemble’s dynamic.

The pattern: Superstore built its cast slowly, allowing newcomers like Nico Santos and Kaliko Kauahi to grow into fan favorites without disrupting the original chemistry.

Who died on Superstore?

Character deaths in the series

No main character dies during the series. The only notable death is a minor character in a season 2 episode — a customer who dies in the store and becomes a running joke (IMDb episodes). The show mostly avoids permanent loss, though there are several fake-out near-death moments.

“The writers never wanted to kill off a main character — it didn’t fit the tone of the show.”

— Series creator Justin Spitzer in a 2021 interview (Rotten Tomatoes)

“The ensemble chemistry was the show’s secret weapon. Every actor brought something unique to their role.”

— TV Insider recap of the series finale (TV Insider)

The catch: The show’s avoidance of character deaths kept the tone light, but also meant no high-stakes emotional exits for main characters.

For fans of ensemble comedies, the Superstore cast remains one of the most well-rounded on network TV, with each character bringing a distinct comedic voice to the Cloud 9 floor. America Ferrera’s Amy Sosa and Ben Feldman’s Jonah Simms are the anchors of that connection, proving that a sitcom about a big-box store can feel like home.
