Montreal, QC – In a city where convenience stores are a staple, one dep in Montreal is standing out from the rest by offering healthy options to its customers.
Located in the Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood, Depanneur Le Pick-Up has become a go-to spot for those looking for a quick and healthy snack or meal. The store, which has been in business for over a decade, has recently expanded its offerings to include fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as homemade soups, salads, and sandwiches.
According to owner and operator, Seth Gabrielse, the decision to offer healthier options came from a personal desire to make a positive impact on the community. “I wanted to create a space where people could come in and find something healthy to eat, without having to go to a grocery store,” Gabrielse said.
The store’s new offerings have been well-received by customers, with many expressing their appreciation for the convenience and variety of healthy options available. “It’s great to have a place like this in the neighborhood. I can grab a quick salad or sandwich on my way to work, instead of having to settle for a greasy fast food meal,” said local resident, Sarah Johnson.
In addition to providing healthier food options, Depanneur Le Pick-Up also focuses on sustainability and supporting local businesses. The store sources its produce from local farmers and uses eco-friendly packaging for its food items.
Gabrielse hopes that by offering healthier options, he can inspire other convenience stores in the city to follow suit. “I think it’s important for businesses to take responsibility for the impact they have on their community. By offering healthier options, we can make a positive change in people’s lives,” he said.
With the success of Depanneur Le Pick-Up’s healthy offerings, it’s clear that there is a demand for healthier options in convenience stores. As more and more people prioritize their health and well-being, it’s refreshing to see a business taking steps to meet those needs.
