Rising Demand at the Mail Champlain McDonald’s: An Expansion Is Already on the Way
McDonald’s arrival at Mail Champlain in late 2024 quickly proved to be a valuable addition to the centre and its diverse retail offering. With a committed tenant and an engaged community, all the ingredients were in place for a business relationship that benefits everyone.
“Working with Pierre-Charles has been remarkable from day one. We’re delighted he chose Mail Champlain,” says Elizabeth Lahaie, Leasing Director at Cominar.
Today, McDonald’s Mail Champlain has become a key location for franchise operator Pierre‑Charles Tardif. A dining‑room expansion project—representing roughly a 45% increase in seating—is now about to move forward.
A Very Positive Evolution
Since the restaurant opened in December 2024, foot traffic has been substantial. Residents and centre visitors showed sustained interest and quickly made the restaurant their own. The months following the opening allowed the restaurant team to strengthen operations. “We’ve seen solid progress—both in customer experience and overall performance,” says Mr. Tardif.
Behind this success lies a strong, well‑loved banner, as well as a constructive business relationship built on shared values. “We truly care about supporting our tenants and seeing them succeed,” explains Judith Dontigny, Assistant Director at Mail Champlain. “From the opening plan to our day‑to‑day availability, we’re invested in their success.”
People Behind the Performance
To serve an already loyal customer base, Pierre‑Charles can count on his restaurant team. Their commitment, energy, and consistency are what make it possible to deliver a high‑quality experience every single day.
And customers are responding: positive feedback on quick service and the team’s warm welcome is frequent—and nearly 10% higher foot traffic at entrance 3 clearly reflects that momentum.
