(Montreal, April 23, 2009) – On April 22, Philippe and Samuel Ayotte, two young and energetic entrepreneurs from the Mauricie region, launched their brand new Metro Plus in Shawinigan. The new store will provide local residents a place to find solutions to their varied and growing food needs. The new 32,000-square-foot store, located at 4175 12th Ave. in Shawinigan South, will offer:

• A new full-service fish counter;
• Viandes et Idées counter;
• A pastry counter;
• A wide range of cheeses;
• A revamped fruits and vegetables section;
• Seafood sold in bulk;
• Chicken wings sold in bulk;
• Many organic products;
• Hot ready-to-serve meals;
• A tasty variety of balanced, home-cooked meals prepared in-store by a chef;
• An international products section.

Customers will find not only a wide array of choices for their daily meal needs, but also a large selection of brand-name health and beauty products at prices comparable to those in pharmacies.

Thanks to an investment of nearly $7 million, this new store, designed according to the new Metro Plus concept with contemporary, warm decor, will help create some one hundred local jobs.

Philippe and Samuel Ayotte, affiliated owners of Metro Plus, and their team invite local residents to drop by the store to meet them and enjoy a unique food-shopping experience.
