Canadian Tire Include Bread, Milk in Product Line Up
Canadian Tire has announced that it will open two experimental stores that will push the boundaries of which products a tyre retailer chooses to stock. The “smart store” concept will be tested in new locations in Welland (Niagra) and Orleans (Ottawa), both of which are due to open in the middle of November. Newly available products will include foodstuff, such as bread and milk, though many other product lines are planned. The idea is not without precedent; Canadian Tire stores already sell sporting goods, household appliances, gardening products and clothing and footwear, in addition to snack foods and cleaning products.
