An Outdoor Store which specializes in fishing, hunting, camping, and other outdoor merchandise is in the works by Canadian Tire, and the grand opening for the establishment will take place on May 5-May 8 of this year. There have already been a few customers at the store and so far the reviews have all been very positive. Ray McDonald is the owner of the new store and he has high hopes for the future. McDonald said “I just love standing at the front door because people walk in and they go ‘Wow, I never would have thought Canadian Tire would have something like this,’ or ‘Wow, this is exactly what we need.’” McDonald explained that the grand opening will include a fair with local foods, and that there will be tanks where visitors can fish.“We’ll have a three-ring circus, literally going on outside with a live fish tank where kids can fish.”

During the Grand Opening of the Canadian Tire Outdoor Store there will be experts on hand to teach people how to make flys which can be used for fly fishing, and bison chili will also be available for those who want to try out this dish. Bradley Smokers will have some representatives on hand at the store during the opening weekend as well, and any fish which are reeled in can be cleaned at the event and then taken home to cook up for dinner. This will be the first freestanding Outdoor Store operated by Canadian Tire and the shop will carry an extensive range of hunting, fishing, and camping equipment for shoppers to browse through.
