Mandy’s is a Montreal-based gourmet salad restaurant that offers salads, soups, juices, etc.[citation needed]
History
Sisters Mandy and Rebecca Wolfe founded Mandy’s in 2004 in the back of the women’s clothing store, Mimi&Coco. The idea of Mandy’s was conceptualized when Rebecca returned to Montreal after living and studying in New York City, where salad bars were seen on every corner.[1] The sisters saw a need for this type of healthy food offering in Montreal and decided to try and fill that need.[2]
Mandy, the culinary inspiration behind Mandy’s, created an original menu while Rebecca designed the restaurant’s interior and handled everything pertaining to branding.[3] Their healthy, gourmet salads quickly grabbed people’s attention, and there was an immediate demand.
In 2008, they opened a second location in the back of another Mimi&Coco on Laurier Ave. in Outremont. This second location offered seating.[4]
They opened their first storefront in 2013 on Sherbrooke Street in Westmount.
In 2015, Mandy's opened their second storefront on Crescent Ave. in downtown Montreal.[5]
Products
Mandy’s product offering includes smoothies, ready-made salads, house salads, as well as custom salads. Apart from salads, bottles of their homemade vinaigrettes are available for purchase at each of their locations. Soups are available on the menu during winter months. Additionally, Mandy’s serves homemade desserts such as brownies and chocolate chip cookies.[6]
Mandy’s also sells a variety of retail products such as T-shirts with Mandy’s insignia, beverages (i.e., cold brews, juices, sodas, etc.), and other types of snacks (such as chocolates, organic popcorn, Stacy’s chips, etc.).
News
In 2014, the OQLF ordered Mandy’s to remove all English signs from their restaurant. In an interview with the National Post, Rebecca Wolfe said: “We always take pride in having bilingual aspects all over our store and making sure that it’s 90% French. We do have a little bit of English because 95% of our client base in Westmount is English”. [7]
