A Canadian Tire store. Popular with Canadian consumers and Canadian birds.[/caption]
Here's a Canadian retail institution in one of it's recent "big-box" incarnations at Cambie Street and 7th Avenue.
Canadian Tire used to sell everything men needed for their cars and their workshop. For decades, when a man needed a hand tool, he turned to Canadian Tire's trusted Mastercraft-branded line of tools.
These days the nation-wide chain has expanded their wares considerably; they now sell everything a man needs for his car, his workshop, his kids, his home and his backyard, and his forays into Nature. And, not to make the Tire's business model sound too sexist -- they also have products aimed at housewives.
Canadian Tire had adapted very successfully to a big-box store model. Ninety-one years after the first location opened in Toronto in 1922, it is estimated that 85 to 90% of all Canadians now live within a 15-minute drive of a Canadian Tire store.
