Canadian Appliance Source and Loblaw end pilot for appliance sales

Real Canadian Superstore, the big box format for the Loblaw chain, started carrying appliances in a pilot project at its store in Milton, Ont., in early 2023. The retailer teamed up with Canadian Appliance Source with a store-within-a-store model. Now, Hardlines has learned, the pilot has concluded, according to Steve Shave, COO of Canadian Appliance Source. “It was a success and we learned a lot,” Shave said.
