Schwartz’s Deli swaps black cherry soda for local alternative as U.S. tariffs bite
On a typical summer day at Schwartz’s Deli, in Montreal, there's a lineup at the door as tourists and locals wait to get their smoked-meat sandwich.
At Schwartz's Deli in Montreal, tourists and locals have been queuing up for smoked-meat sandwiches and a classic companion: Cott's Black Cherry Soda. However, due to U.S. tariffs and the trade war, the iconic beverage has been discontinued. Schwartz's Deli has switched to a local alternative, Fleischer's Original Black Cherry Soda, sourced from a Montreal-based brewer.
Customers seem to appreciate the local option, with general manager Frank Silva noting that people come for the smoked meat sandwich and the black cherry soda. Despite the higher cost, many customers are willing to pay extra for the locally-made product.
