Our History
A Story of Passion
Pierre Ménard, former president and co-founder of La Boite à Grains, recalls the early days: “My business partner, Dominique Lauriault, and I had an entrepreneurial spirit. We wanted to help people take control of their diets. In 1980, the concept of ‘organic’ was still vague; most people associated it with biology classes… we tended to talk about ‘natural’ products instead. We started out in a small space on St-Joseph Boulevard, and every 3 or 4 weeks, we’d rearrange the store to expand our product line. We never imagined we’d be where we are today, nearly 45 years later!” Proud of its roots in Gatineau and Quebec, La Boite à Grains now operates four stores serving the Outaouais region and an online store reaching customers across the country. From day one, our health food store’s values and mission have remained the same: to offer Canadians an accessible, organic, natural, and eco-friendly alternative for their dietary needs.
