Milk Bar is a word from NZ of the '50s, we don't use "superette" either - they've always been "dairys".
Prior to the mid-70s we had few if any supermarkets - everyone had a local dairy (general store) and a local butcher, as well as daily milk deliveries to the house. These days our cities are full of corner stores converted into cheap flats, there are none left within walking distance from here, but 2-3 that I regularly visit.
