Good news! Adonis will diversify the grocery selection in the area for sure!

A taste of Adonis downtown?

June 11, 2012. 4:29 pm • Section: Real Deal
Posted by: Allison Lampert

Marché Adonis, the Montreal grocer popular for its Mediterranean-style prepared food, is expected to open its first downtown store in 2013, sources tell me.

Supermarket chain Metro Inc., which bought a 55 per cent stake in the ethnic supermarkets last year, is looking at opening the first urban-format Adonis on the ground floor of the sold-out Seville condo project on Ste. Catherine St., just east of Atwater St. Like the condo project, a new Adonis store would go a long way towards revitalizing the once struggling strip of Ste. Catherine St., just west of Guy St.

Adonis’s founders, Lebanese Canadian brothers Jamil and Elie Cheaib, are staying on with a 45 per cent stake in the business that has five stores, located either in the suburbs or in the Ville Saint Laurent area.

This proposed 20,000-30,000 square foot store in Montreal’s multi-ethnic, bustling Shaughnessy Village could be a model for future Adonis stores. Metro has said it plans to grow Adonis at the rate of two stores a year, both in Quebec and in Ontario.

Adonis’s wide selection of prepared food would make an urban format a hit in Toronto, where downtown residential neighbourhoods are growing with the largest condo boom in North America, one analyst tells me.

Jonathan Sigler, co-president of Groupe Prével, which is developing the Seville, declined to comment, referring me to Metro.

Marie-Claude Bacon, a spokesperson for Metro, confirmed that the retailer would be opening a supermarket on the ground floor of the three phase, 477-unit condo project, but wouldn’t say whether it would be an Adonis store. Besides its Metro namesake, the chain also operates under the high-end 5 Saisons, discount Super C/Food Basics and rural Marché Richelieu banners.

“There will be a grocery store within the Metro family but which one hasn’t been determined,” she said, noting that the supermarket would only open in spring 2013.

And the other options? A regular Metro grocery store wouldn’t stand out in the area, which already has three supermarkets located walking distance from the Seville.

Although Adonis stores run as large as 50,000 square feet (the one in Brossard), this one would be a smaller urban format and a good fit in an area teeming with a growing number of young condo-buying professionals and university students who either don’t have the time or the inclination to cook.

During the second quarter of 2012, Adonis and its distributor, Phoenicia, contributed $59 million to Metro’s sales, boosting the grocery operator’s profits which grew by 12 per cent.

No, the Greenwich Village path should definitely be avoided. Hyper-gentrification would turn the area into a mere shadow of itself populated by trust fund hipsters and affluent noise-haters. The clubs would close (SAT has already had to deal with noise complaints from a nearby condo), the Pool Room would have to sell 15$ gourmet dogs and 8$ coffees- until its lease expired and it would be forced to leave, and chains would replace all the local shops. Do we really need boutiques selling 800$ baby outfits or doggy clothes?

For the neighbourhood to retain its soul, the income mix must be maintained and only office, commercial or cultural space should be built- no condos.

Probably not very realistic considering that they will have to dig up part of Ile Notre Dame and Seaway Park in St. Lambert, which is full of NIMBYs.

Poirier wants to use private money only, but he wants to build on land he doesn't own.

On a side note, it would be somewhat convenient for me, but I would rather stick to the current mediocre links to Montreal than ruin Ile Notre Dame.

214m hein? 3m taller than le 1000? Montreal continues the table top tradition. Plus it'll be slightly downhill from le 1000, meaning that this possible new tallest won't look as tall as the ones in the actual downtown core!

First week-end? Christ I remember hearing about this project like 50 years ago!


I like it, though I agree the render with the integrated townhouses was much more superior. I wonder why the change?

Previous version wasn't the same developer, hence the differences in the overall project

Interesting article on Montreal and its suburbs from L'Express: http://www.lexpress.fr/emploi-carrie...s_1132354.html

They seem shocked at the lack of transit options in the suburbs.

The Tunnel project will never happen. Urban planners I've spoken to at city hall are against the project, and for good reason. There are many reasons why this project is a bad idea, but the primary ones are:

1. Promotes suburban sprawl and automobile dependency, the opposite of what the city is trying to do
2. Would lead to automobile congestion, noise and pollution on Parc Jean Drapeau.
3. Destroys a lot of green space on Ile Notre-Dame and would dramatically alter the character of the islands.

A much better idea would be installing a light-rail transit line on the Victoria bridge.
