This Brossard opening will be their 10th location in Quebec and 16th across Canada. According to a company press release, the South Shore has been on their radar for a while, especially after a successful pop-up in 2018 at DIX30 that left fans asking for more.</p><p>"We absolutely loved our time at DIX30, and we couldn't wait to come back for good," said Rebecca in a press release shared with MTL Blog.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHGYYpIM2Wx/?img_index=1" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
