St. Hubert's history is supported by a long tradition of innovation. This Léger's family restaurant first opened its doors in 1951 in Montreal, Canada. Their most notable innovation is without a doubt the introduction of free home delivery service, a first in Canada. At the forefront of their field, the Léger's did not hesitate to turn to radio and TV ads to attract customers to their St. Hubert Street eatery. Hélène and René Léger fulfilled their dream: thanks to their determination and innovative spirit.
St. Hubert is a leading force in the Quebec restaurant business. The first St. Hubert restaurant opened its doors on September 25, 1951 on St. Hubert Street in Montreal, Canada. For years, their fleet of yellow VW Beetles criss-cross Montreal's streets, delivering delicious St. Hubert chicken at no extra cost. The little yellow 5 ½ inch ceramic Oval Window VW ashtray cars were sold for $1 in the 1950s, on delivery to promote their delivery service.
