Canadian Tire= What Is It?

and

It's pretty much a department store with a large auto parts department and service center. My first bike came from Canadian Tire, as did my first fishing rod, tent, TV, and set of tires.

Almost everytime I go there for parts, they give me the wrong ones. Sometimes I think a bunch of trained monkeys could do just as good a job at the parts counter.

It's like a RadioShack for the car and home, Sports ware etc...

It's a Garbage auto parts store we have in canada, never take your car there, they will rip you off, and sell you s***ty parts, s***ty as in bad quality

I don't want to buy car parts in the same store that they sell hockey equipment, eh!

Ahh so its pretty much the ultimate guy store.

Pretty bad when us Canadians dislike the store

I hear most people refer to it as Crappy Tire. But we all go to it for one thng or another.

Crappy Tire? Its not all that bad. You just have to know the right one to go to. It is the largest automotive hard parts retailer in Canada. Granted their are some really dumb people working there but the same can be said for any retail chain. I much prefer them over say WalMart or Sears.

Just my 2 cents.

Do they have Tim Horton's Coffee in there?

No, that's across the parking lot. You know, where all the cop cars are parked.

That's actually true of the Canadian Tire in my town (and probably many more) There IS a Tim Horton's across the parking lot!!

Believe it or not, there is a Tim Horton's in the Canadian Tire store at The Centre Mall location in Hamilton, Ontario. They don't bake anything there as far as I know, just coffee, and they ship the donuts in.

All baking for TH is done by a subsidiary baking firm, much in the way Wendy's, TH owner, has their own baking firm for their needs..

Buy more TH stuff, I need those WEN dividend checks!!!

We just got the first Krispy Kreme doughnut shop in Calgary. I managed to grab one from the body shop. Ahhhh....not bad....I'll have to try one fresh and hot.

What is worse is that at the flagship store on Ottawa Street in Hamilton.... they got rid of the counter service :(

I'm sure that that will be one of the "tall tales" I tell my son when he grows up :)

And yes, there is at least one Timmy's on every block in Hamilton. (Insert smelly joke here)
