- History / Biographical
- Steinberg's was founded in 1917 in Montreal by Ida Steinberg, a Jewish-Hungarian immigrant. Under the direction of her five sons, led by Sam Steinberg, the store expanded from its storefront on St. Laurent Boulevard, with a Steinberg grocery store in nearly every district of the island of Montreal. The change from Steinberg's to Steinberg occured in 1961, along with a logo change. Sam Steinberg was one of the first employers to require mandatory bilingualism for his employees, resulting in the store becoming synonymous with grocery shopping in French, regardless of the actual store, "Je fais mon Steinberg." They were the largest supermarket chain in Quebec until the late 1980s. Steinberg's expanded into Ottawa, western Ontario, and New Brunswick. Steinberg's went bankrupt in 1992, three years after being sold, and the stores closed.
