BROSSARD — A Montreal-based wellness eatery is preparing to add a Brossard address to its growing roster of outlets just outside the island of Montreal.
Local expansion targets DIX30 corridor
Spirulina Health Bar, which began in Westmount in 2021, announced it will open a new location at DIX30 in Brossard. The company’s leadership has set a target for the late November to early December period for opening, according to co-owner Jessica Power.
The brand currently operates four locations across the Montreal area: Westmount, downtown Montreal, Old Montreal and Royalmount. The DIX30 site will be the company’s fifth outlet and its first in Brossard.
What to expect on the menu
Spirulina’s offering centres on health-focused quick-service items. The menu includes smoothies, acai bowls, toasts, salads and coffee-based beverages, along with matcha and a selection of health supplements. The outlet has promoted the concept around community and wellness on its website.
“Our mission is to build a wellness community that extends past our restaurants,”
The founders say the project grew from a professional interest in naturopathy combined with food service. Co-owners Jessica Power and Olivia launched the first establishment in Westmount in 2021; Power has described her professional background as a naturopath and the impetus to build a brand around healthy eating.
Impacts for Brossard shoppers and the DIX30 district
DIX30 is a large lifestyle and retail complex that draws shoppers from the South Shore and the island of Montreal. The arrival of a brand positioned on wellness reflects a broader retail trend where lifestyle centres add more food and beverage options aimed at health-conscious consumers.
- New dining option for Brossard residents and South Shore visitors at DIX30.
- Extension of a locally founded brand beyond Montreal island into the South Shore market.
- Potential for additional foot traffic for neighbouring retailers within the DIX30 footprint.
Representatives for DIX30 or the city of Brossard did not provide comment through the source material. Spirulina’s social media channel announced the expansion, and co-owner Power confirmed the expected opening window to What Now Montreal.
Where Spirulina operates now
Below is a brief snapshot of the brand’s current footprint, based on information released by the company:
| Location | Notes |
|---|---|
| Westmount | Original site; brand launched here in 2021 |
| Downtown Montreal | Existing location |
| Old Montreal | Existing location |
| Royalmount | Existing location |
| DIX30, Brossard | Planned; targeted opening late November–early December |
As Spirulina moves into Brossard, the DIX30 addition will continue a pattern of Montreal-area brands seeking the South Shore market to reach suburban shoppers and commuters. For consumers, the new outlet will mean another local option for grab-and-go healthy meals and beverages ahead of the holiday season.
Further details on exact opening dates, employment opportunities or the precise DIX30 address were not provided in the source announcement. The company’s website and social channels list the brand’s broader mission and product range and are expected to provide updates as the opening approaches.
