Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough delegate votes to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison announced on Friday, August 2, 2024, per The Associated Press.

Though the online voting process is ongoing until Monday, August 5, Harris’ campaign announced the moment when she crossed the threshold to have the majority of delegates vote.

“I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee,” Harris said on a call with supporters.

Harrison said “we will rally around Vice President Kamala Harris and demonstrate the strength of our party” during its convention in Chicago later in August.

This Quebec grocery chain beat IGA, Metro & Provigo in a new in-store experience ranking

<img src="https://www.mtlblog.com/media-library/customers-shop-at-an-avril-store-in-quebec.jpg?id=59807039&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=45%2C0%2C45%2C0"/><br/><br/><p>Grocery shopping in Quebec can be a very different experience depending on where you go — some stores make it easy and enjoyable, while others leave you frustrated before you even hit the checkout. Now, a major new study has revealed which grocery chains are actually getting it right.</p><p>The <a href="https://documents.leger360.com/hubfs/WOW%202025/WOW%20Livret%20des%20r%C3%A9sultats%202025%20EN_20250121.pdf" target="_blank">2025 WOW Study by Leger</a> surveyed over 16,000 Quebecers and had each retailer evaluated by around 400 recent visitors. Shoppers rated their in-store experiences based on everything from product quality and pricing to staff service, cleanliness, and layout.</p><p>But when it came to crowning a champ, one Quebec-based chain came out way ahead of the rest — and no, it wasn't IGA, Metro, or Provigo.</p> <h3>The top-rated grocery store in Quebec is... Avril Supermarché</h3> <p>The Quebec-based chain Avril came out on top in the province's grocery sector, scoring an impressive 79.5 out of 100 on Leger's WOW Index — a ranking system based on 16 customer experience factors, including staff attentiveness and store ambiance.</p><p>Trailing well behind were big names like:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Metro / Metro Plus</strong> – 70.4</li> <li> <strong>IGA / IGA Extra</strong> – 70.3</li> <li> <strong>Supermarché PA</strong> – 70.0</li> <li> <strong>Rachelle-Béry</strong> – 68.1</li> <li> <strong>Adonis</strong> – 66.3</li> <li> <strong>Provigo / Provigo Le Marché</strong> – 64.1</li> <li> <strong>Maxi / Maxi & Cie</strong> – 62.0</li> <li> <strong>Super C</strong> – 62.4</li> </ul> <p>Rounding out the bottom of the grocery rankings in Quebec were Intermarché, Bonanza, and Fruiterie Sami Fruits, with scores dipping into the mid-50s and low 50s.</p> <h3>What is Avril?</h3> <p>Avril Supermarché Santé is a Quebec-owned natural food market that blends the vibe of a health food boutique with the selection of a full-service grocery store. It's known for its minimalist layout, organic products, and specialty health and wellness items — think kombucha on tap, a natural cosmetics section, and in-store bistros serving plant-based meals.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CzY-HXvrPc-/" 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);"> <div style="padding:8px;"> <div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div> </div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CzY-HXvrPc-/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">See on Instagram</a> </p> </div> </blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>The chain was founded in Granby in 1995 and now operates <a href="https://avril.ca/en/avril-stores" target="_blank">over a dozen locations across Quebec</a>, including in Brossard, Laval, Lévis, Longueuil, Mascouche, and Quebec City.
