An entrepreneurial showcase for young creators from Saint-Michel<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Montreal, July 8, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 Quartier des arts du cirque (QUAC) is proud to inaugurate today the Lab boutique<\/a>, a brand-new micro-retail space in Saint-Michel, set up in a shipping container on the lot at 2500 Jarry Est, at the corner of D’Iberville, near the bike path leading to Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric-Back Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lab boutique<\/a> will be open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, from noon to 8 p.m., until the end of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Showcase for Local Entrepreneurship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pilot project born from the Saint-Michel Entrepreneurial Lab, the Lab boutique<\/a> combines draw products (ice cream, coffee and snacks) with a selection of entrepreneurial projects developed by youth from the neighbourhood. Featured items include the collection of young Saint-Michel designer Velux 514, Grind Up t-shirts, eyelash extension products, jewellery and accessories, as well as works and prints by local artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project brings together several complementary dimensions: the socio-professional integration of youth, the commercial revitalization of a neighbourhood in transformation, and the development of local entrepreneurship \u2014 building on the Saint-Michel Entrepreneurial Lab, whose first cohort was piloted between March and June 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Partnership Made Possible Through Community Mobilization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lab boutique<\/a> is funded by Caisse d’\u00e9conomie solidaire Desjardins and made possible through the contribution of REMAX Infinit\u00e9, which generously provides a portion of its lot as well as electricity, water access and existing camera surveillance. The Saint-Michel Entrepreneurial Lab, of which the Lab boutique<\/a> is a concrete demonstration, is carried out with the support of PME MTL Centre-Est, in collaboration with Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Centre-Nord and youth organizations in the Saint-Michel neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
