"We’ve been with Lesters for 18 years, and for 18 years we’ve had the exact same product with the same standards, it’s never changed. In the food industry, that’s hard to find; products change all the time, but your smoked meat doesn’t. Once or twice a year, we receive samples from competitors, and they never meet Lesters’ standards."

"If there’s ever a problem, customer service is excellent, and your representatives have always taken good care of me."
Frank
Owner, Deli 440
"We’ve been using Lesters hot dogs for a good 40 years, and the reason is simple: the quality is consistent, the product is always the same. Competitors have come by with samples, but their products just aren’t good enough. Even other products I ordered specially for events, because of the price, don’t come close to what Lesters offers compared to the competition."
Tommy
Owner, Decarie Hot-dog
"It’s funny because we’re talking about a hot dog, it’s such a simple product on the surface. But the fact that we’ve been here since 1912, and Lesters is the brand we want to offer our customers, that says everything. It’s a brand people recognize, and we know it’s quality."

Co-Owner, Montreal Pool Room
"It tastes like heaven, it melts in your mouth, all my customers tell me that."
Nathalie
Owner, L’As du Smoked Meat
We’ve been working with Lesters products for about 50 years. Your smoked meat recipe fits our flavor profile perfectly. The competition doesn’t offer anything like it, their profiles are all a bit different. I don’t want to change the taste my customers are used to… I don’t want to change that. Your product has offered excellent consistency over the years.
