The Jeux du Québec less profitable than expected for restaurants

The Jeux du Québec less profitable than expected for restaurants

The youth sports event held recently in Quebec's Gatineau region has disappointed the restaurant in the region. Some, like Restaurant St-Hubert, had increased their orders to please important traffic.

But what had been predicted did not materialize, even sales dropping compared to the previous week of the Jeux du Québec. 30,000 people were expected in the region, giving the impression to record large traffic.

Finally, the impact of the Games at the restaurant St-Hubert has been zero.

La Cage aux Sports and Buffet des continents saw a few more people than normal at this time, but nothing exceptional either.
