The newer Canadian Tire stores are probably stealing more of Walmart's market share (as are the newer, larger Dollarama stores on the low end).
I showed my American friend one of the newer CTs “Remarkable Retail” ones and he was like: "What DOESN'T this store carry?" (besides groceries). He briefly chatted with a staff member and commented on how she was in a good mood and joking with us and that interaction left him with a more positive impression of the store.
He was super impressed by how large the kitchen and housewares section was and how there seemed to be a lot more display models of most products than a US store would have.
Example: Canadian Tire Carlingwood (Image: Canadian Tire)
He was also impressed by how many electric lawnmowers, lawn equipment there was for purchase.
