The grocery banner\u00a0Les\u00a0March\u00e9s Tradition<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was launched in 1998 by Marchands en alimentation Agora<\/strong>, formerly known as Hudon and Deaudelin<\/strong>, property of the Oshawa Group, which was purchased by Sobeys<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in 1999,\u00a0one year later.<\/p>\n

The big idea of this new concept was centered on\u00a0freshness. It prides itself at\u00a0offering superior\u00a0freshness when it comes to fruits and vegetables, meat, bakery, delicatessen items, cheeses and prepared meals. Les\u00a0March\u00e9s Tradition<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0therefore offer fewer canned or processed food products\u00a0and devote nearly half of the sales area for fresh produce. Their slogan at the beginning was:\u00a0“All fresh and very close” (or “Tout frais, tout pr\u00e8s” in French).<\/p>\n

The initial objective was to launch\u00a025 grocery stores of 6,000 to 15,000 square feet grocery stores in Quebec, an intermediate size between supermarkets and convenience stores. The first four groceries opened in Frelighsburg, Saint-Sauveur, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and Lac-Brome. Almost 20 years later, their total number amounts to 43.<\/p>\n

Type of Franchise<\/h4>\n

Sobeys<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>offers an \u201caffilliation agreement\u201d with independent owners for the operation of a convenience store under the Les\u00a0March\u00e9s Tradition<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0banner of a usual five-year term, possibly with the right to extend the term for a period of five years and also, a right of first refusal during the term of the lease if the lessor receives an offer to purchase concerning the rented premises. The agreement allows retailers access to wholesale prices as well as marketing support (advertising, flyer, etc.).<\/p>\n
