Montreal, QC – February 19, 2025 – It's now official: a new Maxi store has opened its doors on Sainte-Catherine Street, simultaneously unveiling a low-price food offering tailored to the needs of the population, in a brand-new environment.

Representing a multi-million dollar investment in the neighborhood, the opening of this new store, just over 18,000 square feet, leads to the creation of 70 jobs and provides simplified access to quality, low-priced food for the community.

"This inauguration demonstrates our ongoing commitment to facilitating access to quality products at affordable prices for a growing number of Quebecers who choose Maxi for their food needs. We know that freshness, quality, and variety are important, and we are proud to offer even more to the communities we serve who are looking for exceptional value."

To mark this opening and demonstrate its commitment to actively supporting the community, Carol-Ann Laplante, store manager, chose to present a $2,500 donation to Café l’Itinéraire, an organization that plays an essential role in the neighborhood to support people in situations of social and economic vulnerability, at risk of homelessness.

"My team and I look forward to welcoming customers and helping them discover the freshness and quality of their favorite products at the best price, in a modern and brand-new environment. We are also committed to playing an active role within the community, supporting local organizations, and making a positive impact on the lives of our customers," says Carol-Ann Laplante, Maxi store manager.

Now with over 200 stores, the Maxi banner is recognized as the leader among discount food retailers in Quebec. Present in the Quebec landscape for over 40 years, the Maxi banner deploys various programs and services to help consumers save money, without having to compromise on freshness and quality.
