St-Hubert's Montreal Village location will close September 6 after 50 years in operation, citing major infrastructure work that will reshape the neighbourhood over the next five years.
The rotisserie chicken restaurant has anchored the Sainte-Catherine Street East site since 1977. Groupe St-Hubert said the decision was made after assessing the business outlook in an area where the City of Montreal is undertaking a major neighbourhood revitalization project. The street reconstruction has already affected customer accessibility, traffic patterns, and restaurant sales.
Nearly 60 positions will be affected by the closure. The company is offering affected employees the option to transfer to another St-Hubert location.
The Village restaurant becomes another casualty of Montreal's ongoing infrastructure ambitions—a reminder that while long-term planning reshapes neighbourhoods, the small businesses anchoring those blocks face immediate pressure.
