Sami Fruits is the result of a century-long family trade that started with a small produce stand in early-1900s Beirut. Each generation pushed the business a little further, from open-air markets to permanent storefronts, eventually bringing the operation to Montreal in the 1970s.
What began as a modest stall at Jean-Talon grew into multiple stores across the city, all built on the same formula: volume, freshness, and prices that keep week-to-week groceries manageable. The Lasalle location carries that legacy forward. It’s busy, loud, and overflowing with fruit—local staples, Caribbean essentials, and anything else Montreal’s communities cook with. You come for the deals, but the deeper story is written in the family photos on the walls: four generations treating produce as both livelihood and inheritance.
