Founded in 1922, Canadian Tire<\/b> is one of the most iconic brands of Canada<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>.\u00a0 As Canada<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> essentially was untouched by the recent \u2018worldwide\u2019 recession, Canadian Tire has continued with its aggressive behavior in terms of growth and expansion.\u00a0 The company has always been unafraid to explore new product lines for its Canadian Tire stores.\u00a0 At the same time the very diverse corporate parent continues to seek new opportunities both to enhance current properties while maintaining an appetite for ancillary ventures such as last summer\u2019s acquisition of the The Forzani Group Ltd.<\/b> which is the largest national sporting goods retailer in Canada<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Often people unfamiliar with Canadian Tire make the natural mistake of assuming they operate basic tire stores.\u00a0 In reality their stores are more like home centers with an accent on automotive maintenance, repair and of course tires.\u00a0 The stores have a strong complement of products anyone would expect to find in a home improvement center and then some.\u00a0 Everything from branded hand tools and power tools to paints to household chemicals including dishwashing liquids.\u00a0 The stores offer a complete line of vacuum and steam cleaners.\u00a0 <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Sports and Rec sections offer a vast array of products to meet the needs of campers, hunters and fishermen as well as those who just want to dabble outdoors.\u00a0 Canadians who love to play the national sport are treated to a full array of uniforms and gear.\u00a0 With the acquisition of the Forzani Group these offerings can only be enhanced as per the company\u2019s current promotion of Livestrong home exercise equipment by Lance Armstrong.\u00a0 <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even pet lovers are served as stores offer a wide variety of pet accessories and even food.\u00a0 The company is currently promoting a line of accessories from Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan.\u00a0 <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When Home Depot spearheaded its invasion of Canada<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> with the purchase of Aikenhead\u2019s Hardware in the 1990\u2019s, many observers wondered if this would spell the eventual doom of Canadian Tire.\u00a0 Perhaps aided by the use of its homeland in its name, any rumors of the company\u2019s possible demise were short lived.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
