Canadian Tire Corporation, Ltd. is one of Canada’s most recognized retail chains. Founded in Toronto by brothers J.W. and A.J. Billes, the company got its start when the brothers bought the Hamilton Tire and Garage in 1922. In 1927, they incorporated the business as the Canadian Tire Corporation. Still headquartered in Toronto, the company operates a network of 1,700 stores and gas bars that extends to every province and territory except Nunavut. Canadian Tire owns Mark’s Work Wearhouse and FGL Sports, including the retail companies Sport Chek, Atmosphere and Sports Experts. It is a public company that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CTC. In 2018, Canadian Tire registered $14.1 billion in revenue and $783 million in profit and held $17.3 billion in assets.

Canadian Tire had expanded its interest beyond automotive parts to promote camping and outdoor leisure items. Just as the Billes brothers successfully caught a growing automotive market, the move toward outdoor and camping supplies aligned with growing business opportunities, since visits to national parks increased from 500,000 to 5.5 million between 1940 and 1960, and the popularity of backyard leisure activities such as barbecuing grew with the suburbs.

Canadian Tire has grown from its beginnings more than 90 years ago to become one of Canada’s most-shopped retailers. Its retailing brands are among the most widely recognized among Canadian consumers. Generations of Canadians have relied upon Canadian Tire merchandise and services to prepare for both work and leisure activities.

Canadian Tire’s businesses operate under a group of banners with synergistic relationships between them: Canadian Tire (retail stores, petroleum outlets and financial services operations), PartSource, Sport Chek, Atmosphere, National Sports, Mark’s Work Wearhouse, L’Équipeur and Pro Hockey Life. Through these banners and other, franchised banners, nearly 85,000 Canadians are employed.

Businesses of Canadian Tire

Canadian Tire’s core business, Canadian Tire retail stores, comprise the Company’s dealer-run stores in Canada. These stores trace their lineage back to 1922, when the Company’s founders, John W. Billes and Alfred J. Billes, opened an auto parts and service location in Hamilton, Ontario to serve the rapidly increasing number of private automobiles in Ontario. Incorporated as Canadian Tire Corporation, Ltd. in 1927, the business grew both in the scope of its product and service offering and in its geographic reach to today’s nearly 500 stores across Canada.

Today’s Canadian Tire stores are shopping destinations which offer products in the Living, Playing, Fixing, Automotive and Seasonal categories. These product areas represent an inventory of more than 150,000 differentiated products available for purchase. Unique among general retailers for its strength in the Automotive category, nearly all of Canadian Tire’s locations include auto service bays, which are supported by stores’ extensive inventories of auto parts.

Focusing on the Retail Experience

Canadian Tire has endeared itself to generations of Canadians by providing a distinctive shopping experience. To continue earning its customers’ loyalty in its retail stores, the Company differentiates itself by offering new and innovative products and by providing automotive, home and leisure products in a combination seen at no other retailer. Sales and seasonal promotions establish Canadian Tire as the preferred place to shop for core product offerings, and the Company’s merchandising techniques make a strong impact on in-store customers and make stores easier to shop.

Canadian Tire has launched a new app for holders of its cross-branded Mastercard that blends utilitarian functions like everyday mobile banking payments with loyalty badges and promotional offers.

Canadian Tire money, officially Canadian Tire ‘money’ or CTM is a loyalty program operated by the Canadian retail chain Canadian Tire. It consists of coupons, issued by the company, which resemble real banknotes. It can be used as scrip in Canadian Tire stores, but is not considered a private currency. The notes are printed on paper similar to what Canadian currency was printed on when they were still paper, and were jointly produced by two of the country’s long-established security printers, British American Banknote Company (BABN) and Canadian Bank Note Company (CBN).
