WORLD HQ, TORONTO — Canada’s fastest growing province for home improvement sales last year was also its smallest. Prince Edward Island led all provinces in growth, however its small size—representing less than one percent of the overall market in Canada—was not enough to lift sales overall for the country past 4%. According to the 2019-2020 Hardlines Retail Report, building centres proved to be the best format for weathering 2018’s variable business conditions, with growth of almost 6%. These are just some of the findings in this year’s Hardlines Retail Report, which has just been released. For more information and to place an order, click here!
