Celine Dion and her husband, Rene Angelil, have joined a group of investors that are buying the famed Schwartz's, a deli in downtown Montreal, Quebec. The restaurant is known for their smoked meat sandwiches and their history, which dates back to the 1920's. It is not unusual for passersby to see tourists and locals alike standing in long lineups outside Schwartz's to get a taste of their infamous deli meat. 
"I have so many great memories of being there with the guys, and with Celine and our families throughout the years. It's the most unique restaurant in the world and we're thrilled to be a party of it," Angelil said. "Of course, we'll make a few improvements as necessary, but we're not interested in diluting the brand by franchising, or making the deli something that it isn't. It's truly one-of-a-kind, and we intend to keep it that way."
