PROFILE |
 |
Don't be fooled by the modest name: Canadian Tire sells much more. Some 440 Canadian Tire stores run by a network of associate dealers throughout Canada sell home, car, and sports and leisure products. In the midst of a major remodeling effort, the company's reformatted stores (which are bigger and brighter) are bringing in about 55% more sales per store. Canadian Tire is also one of the country's largest independent gasoline retailers, with more than 200 outlets. It is expanding its PartSource auto parts chain (catering to serious mechanics) throughout Canada. Brothers John and Alfred Billes started Canadian Tire in 1922. Alfred's daughter Martha, who is a director, owns about 61% of the company.
