<\/a>March\u00e9\u00a0Ami<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has been around for quite a long time: it was launched 55 years ago in the Quebec City area. Owned by the food giant Metro<\/strong><\/a>, its name stands for\u00a0Association des Marchands Ind\u00e9pendants\u00a0<\/strong>(Independant Merchants Association). In addition to grocery products, a March\u00e9\u00a0Ami<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>store offers meat, fruit and vegetable, dairy, frozen foods, bakery and delicatessen items.<\/span><\/p>\n

Type of Franchise<\/h4>\n

Metro<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>claims that it supplies 187 March\u00e9\u00a0Ami<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0stores in Quebec. However, only 96 are displayed as such, according to our estimate. As with its other banner\u00a0GEM<\/strong><\/a>, the banner display does not appear to be an obligation to adhere to it, although here, unlike GEM<\/strong><\/a>, Metro<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>makes commendable marketing efforts. March\u00e9\u00a0Ami<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has indeed its own website<\/span>\u00a0and weekly\u00a0flyer, which are a carbon copy of March\u00e9 Extra!<\/strong><\/a>‘s material<\/span>:\u00a0same marketing is used for both banners.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
