On March 10, 1995, Épicerie Prette, a family-owned business, opened its doors in the charming Pointe-Claire Village. For the first 15 years of business, it operated as a typical dépanneur, with a deli counter offering homemade sandwiches, including its famous shish taouk.

In 2011, with the village evolving and like any long-standing business, Épicerie Prette had to reinvent itself and decided to shift its focus to craft beers from Quebec microbreweries. The response from its clients was phenomenal and motivated them to expand their selection even further. They now carry over 1,000 different craft beers from all over the province, including non-alcoholic and gluten-free options.

In 2019, based on the success of its craft beer sales, Épicerie Prette started introducing Quebec wines and ciders to offer more variety to its customers. With a desire to support local businesses, the store reached out to a wide range of entrepreneurs in Quebec to obtain a variety of products. They now offer a wide variety of hot sauces, locally roasted coffees, steaks and sausages from Bon Boeuf beef farm in St-Chrysostome, and during the last holiday season, started carrying Au Pied de Cochon products.

Even with all the hard work put in by owner Alan Nader, the success of the last 29 years could not have been possible without the support of the village community and loyal customers from far and wide. Please visit Épicerie Prette to discover its products and grab a sandwich and an ice-cold beverage.

Alan Nader is the owner of Épicerie Prette, 251 Chem. du Bord-du-Lac-Lakeshore, in the heart of Pointe-Claire Village.
