(Montreal, November 27, 2009) – Last night, Jean-Pierre Boucher, affiliated owner of the Metro Plus in Berthierville and his children, officially opened their newest store located at 230 Notre-Dame Street. Local residents will now find more variety to meet their every grocery need.

The Boucher family is pleased to offer its customers a modern and inviting store spanning more than 37,000 sq. ft. The Metro Plus has also created 60 jobs in the community.

"This store was designed adhering to the new Metro Plus concepts which enable customers to navigate more freely and to find what they need quickly and easily. It is important that we are able to offer our customers the very best products and service available," noted Jean-Pierre Boucher, owner of the Berthierville store.

Mr. Boucher has been working in the food sector in affiliation with Metro for more than 30 years. It all started when the first Metro store opened in Ste-Mélanie, which is now owned by Éric Boucher. The family has opened a number of other stores over the years, including one in Rawdon in 1988, St-Jean-de-Matha in 2000, St-Donat in 2002, St-Félix in January 2009 and, finally, in Berthierville today.
