Canadian Tire opens new store amid physical distancing

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Canadian Tire’s newest store opened over the weekend as Ontario permitted hardware stores to reopen to in-person customers. Despite the lack of an official announcement, customers lined up at a safe distance to check out the store’s 7,064 square metres of retail space. A grand opening will be held at a later date. The store is operating at reduced hours to allow time for cleaning and restocking.
