Marche Beau-Soir

Beau‑soir – Quebec Convenience with Community Heart

Founded in 1979 in Montréal, Beau‑soir is a modern convenience store banner under Groupe Beaudry & Cadrin with over 250 locations across Québec. Their outlets combine typical dépanneur offerings—snacks, candies, drinks—with added features like fuel pumps, ready-to-eat counters “La Cour aux Saveurs”, M&M Food Market Express frozen meals, Slush Puppie drinks, Van Houtte coffee, pet supplies (“La Halte Animale”) and local microbrew beer.

Stores operate long hours daily to serve neighbourhoods from urban Montreal to Gaspésie. They also engage in community support, partnering with Breakfast Club of Canada for local charity efforts.

Strengths include:

• Wide convenience mix—eat-in, snacks, coffee, pet goods, gas.
• Consistent branding and operational support via franchise model.
• Community & charity engagement.

Considerations:

• As convenience stores, product selection is smaller/more expensive versus supermarkets.
• Not a full grocery experience; useful for quick top-ups or fuel stops.

Recommended for people needing grab-and-go food, drinks, coffee or a quick fuel top-up in Quebec communities.
