MONTREAL, Feb. 28, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - More than 80 years after first opening its doors, Montreal institution Schwartz's deli is bringing its unique savoir-faire to IGA supermarkets so households across Quebec can now enjoy the "Main's" world famous original smoked meat.
A world famous sandwich, right in your kitchen!
"The idea to market our smoked meat came from our customers! Many of them travel great distances to eat at Schwartz's and often asked us if we could make it more accessible," explained Martin Sara, VP Administration at Schwartz's. "But we couldn't compromise on taste. In that respect, we think the gamble has paid off."
Schwartz's reputation for smoked meat extends well beyond Montreal, as evidenced by the many out-of-town customers and countless celebrities who have frequented the modest establishment. "Our companies are both passionate about food and are dedicated to better meeting customer needs," added Yvan Ouellet, VP, Procurement & Merchandising - Perishables at Sobeys Quebec. "We are very proud to exclusively offer this unique product whose reputation is second to none."
