At least three decades ago they were ofered large sums of money for the space, including the promise that they would stll have the ground floor space to keep Ben's alive. The owners put their foot down though and turned down what could have been a very comfortable retirement package, choosing to serve their patrons instead. how many restaurants or stores would do that today. On a more positive note Wilensky's is still around and still making things their way. even though I won't eat at either of them i still respect the culture that made these deli's a landmark in Montreal.
