Lachine’s longtime Lafleur on the move, lunch counter gone

The Lafleur lunch counter on Saint-Jacques Street in Lachine will soon serve its last hot dog.

The fast-food restaurant isn’t closing – it’s just moving next door.

Later this year, the branch will move to a brand new location with two storeys and just over 3,000 square feet of space.

The lunch counter has been a Lachine institution for years, with many residents sharing stories of late-night trips to the restaurant.

Lafleur’s restaurant management explained it cost less to build a new site than to renovate the old one.

The new location is slated to open this April.
