‘SUPERMARKET” is a noun because it’s a place. You can also thing about it as a building or a store. Both are nouns.

Hello Rebecca, hi everyone,
thank you for the this lesson. Although it is not hard, it’s useful for anyone who starts their journey with learning English. At least one of these rules can be confused for Polish speakers. We write adjectives with a lowercase letter.
For example:
jezyk angielski -> English language,
But we would say:
Polak -> Polish citizen
All the best <3 :)
