Montreal (QC) – December 5, 2025 – Jean-Marc Fortin, owner of the Provigo store on Rachel Street in the Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough, and his team are proud to announce the completion of a major transformation. Located on the historic site of the Angus Shops, a former Canadian Pacific Railway locomotive and car factory (the largest in North America), the store reveals an entirely new and completely revamped space that embodies the banner's latest concept. This store now combines a fast and pleasant shopping experience, a significant assortment of local and international products, and an innovative range of high-quality ready-to-eat meals. The general merchandise and Joe Fresh clothing sections have also been entirely redesigned to offer an improved and smoother shopping experience for customers, featuring the latest fashion trends and home essentials, including a large selection of toys.

"Beyond the new features, our priority remains unchanged: to offer impeccable customer service and maintain exceptional quality throughout the store, thereby providing even more value to our consumers. This is a commitment from the entire team," adds Jean-Marc Fortin.

The store is also committed to offering exceptional daily value to its customers, with regular promotions and exclusive offers, such as "Hit of the Month" and exclusive prices for PC Optimum members, always clearly identified to facilitate the experience and maximize savings for customers.

Community is at the heart of Provigo Jean-Marc Fortin's values. To mark this event and demonstrate its commitment to actively supporting the community and food aid in Montreal, Jean-Marc Fortin, the store owner-operator, presented a donation of $7,500 to La guignolée des médias, of which Provigo has been a proud partner for 15 years.
