With its first opening in British Columbia at the City Centre Plaza on Douglas St in Victoria in Vancouver Island in May, following by openings in downtown Montreal and the West Island and the location in mid-June at the new Montreal Metropolitan Airport in Longueuil, the Café Depot concept that was launched by brothers Dominic and Tony Elisii in Carrefour Laval in 1994, has grown to become a chain of over 50 locations across Canada. Now part of the MTY Food Group, Café Dépôt continues to expand, actively seeking new retail opportunities in communities from coast to coast. A destination for premium coffee and freshly prepared café fare with a menu built around high-quality espresso beverages, specialty coffees, fresh sandwiches, soups, salads and baked goods, Café Depot has earned a loyal following, offering guests a comfortable place to meet, work or simply enjoy a great cup of coffee. The chain is looking for locations with strong visibility, convenient access and a healthy mix of daytime and residential populations. A strong fit for urban retail corridors, community shopping centres and mixed-use projects, the chain’s café offering can serve morning commuters, office professionals, students and local residents throughout the day. The brand targets locations with strong visibility, convenient access and a mix of daytime and residential populations. The space required is in the 1000 to 1800 square foot range. MTY Food’s Nancy Chamberlain is handling the site selection for Central and Western Canada and Sylvain Boissy is responsible for the search in Eastern Canada.
