I was actually surprised how many grocery stores were open – does anyone know what the legal size limit is? For instance the P.A. on Parc was closed but the Supermarché Mile-End which has pretty close to the same footage was open…

Remember the rule about 4 employees after 5pm on Saturdays? It caused lots of trouble, so they changed it, maybe a decade ago. The requirement was dropped, but the new rule made I think four days mandatory, Christmas, Easter, Labor Day, and I guess St. Jean.
PA at Fort has consistently closed on those days from the start. I don’t recall reading anything about size of store, so either PA just keeps those holidays, or they are big enough.
The Gazette for some years got it wrong, I think about Labor Day, for at least four years I’d write to point out that they must be usingban old template for the “what’s closed” article. Finally they fixed it, but I later caught it on a different holiday. I think they hedge a bit, sayung “some would close” when it’s all grocery stores, though I don’t know what qualifies as a “convenience store”. Maybe having a chain counts.
At least PA does a good job of announcing holidays.

Bioterre and Latina were also open, I don’t think the distinction is between grocery stores and convenience stores, both are much bigger than deps…
I guess my question here is in the phrase “Établissements d’alimentation de grande surface” what counts as “grande surface”.

Friends of mine who just signed a lease and needed cleaning supplies to clean their new apartment Googled if Walmart was open. Google said “Open” so they dragged themselves to Namur and on the door was a handwritten note: “contrairement l’information sur Google, nous sommes pas ouvert.”
