Schwartz's gets new owners

Schwartz's Deli has new owners.

In a report by CTV, the famous Montreal restaurant has been sold to a group which includes Celine Dion, her husband Rene Angelil, as well as the Nakis family.

While the sale price has not been disclosed, rumours put it at $10 million.

Angelil assured fans that Schwartz's would not undergo any drastic changes, and that franchising the deli is not an option. He stated that the restaurant will continue to be unique in Montreal.

Schwartz's has been open since 1928, and is known worldwide for its famous smoked meat sandwiches.
