The Quebec-based family-run business pursues its growth with the opening of a 3rd neighbourhood store in Montreal, the 4th of its kind in the province
MONTREAL, Nov. 19, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Mondou is very proud to officially open its 76th store at 2668 Notre-Dame St. West in Montreal's Griffintown neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the Atwater market. The 2412-sq.ft store is the third neighbourhood store concept in Montreal (after the one on Mont-Royal Avenue and in Verdun) and the fourth one in the province. The store will offer a broad range of free services for pets, including the popular nail trimming, doggie wash, pet scale and carry-out services, as well as the sub-zero market offering a vast selection of frozen raw food for cats and dogs.
"With its remarkable historic legacy, Griffintown has become a lively neighbourhood in the span of a few years thanks to its striking real estate projects, neighbourhood shops, trendy restaurants, designer boutiques and art galleries. The neighbourhood store concept was the perfect way for us to serve our customers in a unique, historic building in the area. Easily accessible and within walking distance of Atwater market, the new location is also near myriad other services. Our neighbourhood store concept is smaller than our other stores but also allows us to get closer to our community and clients by providing a range of essential products and free services. Our clients can shop online and pick up their purchases in store or get their orders delivered to their home," said Pierre Leblanc, CEO of Mondou.
COMMUNITY VALUES: AT THE CORE OF MONDOU'S MISSION
Founded in Quebec City, Mondou has gone from a single store in 1938 to 76 in 2021 by relying on its commitment to innovation and building upon the community values of its founders.
Since it was founded, Mondou has been committed to supporting a number of causes dedicated to animal welfare. In addition to its popular annual campaign Mondou Mondon au profit de la fondation MIRA, which has raised more than $2 million over six years (the 2021 campaign ended last Sunday, and the amount of funds raised will be revealed shortly), the Quebec-based company has been organizing the funding campaign Mondou Mondon au profit des refuges for the past four years which has raised $536,000 to date.
As a strong promoter of responsible adoption, since April 2019 Mondou has launched four adoption zones for cats from rescue shelters at its Saint-Jérôme, Anjou, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and Joliette store locations.
A COMPANY REWARDED FOR ITS INNOVATION
For the second year in a row, Mondou was officially recognized one of Canada's Best Managed Companies by the reputable firm Deloitte. Mondou stood out with regard to its corporate strategy, innovative approach and commitment to its employees and the community.
Recognized as a top employer, Mondou also created the Mondou Academy in 2007. Headed by veterinarians and veterinary technicians, this continuing education program allows the company's teams, in particular store advisors, to stay up to date on industry best practices and to develop their knowledge of the animal world.
