Marché Adonis

Marché Adonis is a supermarket chain operating in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario.

[1] Adonis was founded in 1979 by Lebanese brothers Elie and Jamil Cheaib, and their friend Georges Ghorayeb, who provided the funding.

Inspired by their roots in the Eastern Mediterranean and the idea of bringing their culture to a new world, the Cheaib brothers and their friend Georges Ghorayeb developed the idea of trading typical food of the Middle East in North America.

In 1984, the need to expand their original store and increase the size of the company became synonymous with success and the fact that Montreal's Arabic-speaking and Mediterranean communities had become very large.

To better serve customers, the team had to focus on a more strategic location that serviced larger areas of the community, which led to the opening on l'Acadie Boulevard.
