Quebec is one of the places where people drink the most Pepsi on the planet. Quebecers drink Pepsi instead of Coke because marketing in the local language resonates with them.

Canada and other geographies still leave room to take a concept and localize the language.

Localizing the language is what lets a boring business land in a geography like Quebec with less of the competition found in South Florida, the Bay Area, and New York.
