A TV show boost sparked a surge in sales and tourism for Montreal’s St-Viateur Bagel after an actress wore its T-shirt.
The TV series "Heated Rivalry" boosted tourism and sales for Montreal’s St-Viateur Bagel shop after actress Sophie Nélisse wore its T-shirt in a December 2025 episode.
Online orders and merchandise sales, especially the logo shirts, nearly tripled, while bagel demand rose sharply at the Mont-Royal Avenue location.
The surge was strongest in Quebec and Ontario but also reached customers in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, the U.S., and Europe, with many visitors purchasing souvenirs.
The shop’s marketing director called the response unexpected but positive, underscoring pop culture’s power to elevate local businesses.
