Schreter's has outfitted Montrealers from the same stretch of Boulevard Saint-Laurent since the late 1920s, when Joseph Schreter, newly arrived from Romania, traded door-to-door peddling for a storefront on The Main. Still family-run, it began as a wholesaler supplying peddlers and small traders, then shifted to retail while keeping the low-margin pricing that built its name. The current store, near the corner of Marie-Anne, spans close to 10,000 square feet of men's, women's, and children's clothing, footwear, and accessories, leaning on classic labels and summer-camp staples. Its money-back guarantee traces to the founder's original philosophy. The shop also holds a place in local lore: Leonard Cohen, a Plateau fixture for decades, bought his signature Foamtreads slippers here and wore them as everyday shoes around Little Portugal.
