Canadian Tire Grand Opening – Renovations Complete

Apr 28, 2025 | 9:15 AM

The hum of excitement is unmistakable at the newly renovated Canadian Tire store in Nanaimo, where local owner David McClenahan is ushering in a new era for one of Canada’s most iconic brands. With expanded departments, modern layouts, and a renewed commitment to customer service, the store is quickly becoming a destination for families, DIYers, and outdoor enthusiasts across the Harbour City.

“This store has always been part of the fabric of Nanaimo,” says McClenahan, a proud owner who has been part of the Canadian Tire family for years. “But this renovation was about more than just updating floors and fixtures. It was about giving our customers a space that matches the way they live, work, and play today.”

The transformation is immediately noticeable. Wider aisles, brighter lighting, and redesigned product displays invite shoppers to explore everything from home décor and automotive to sporting goods and seasonal must-haves and the outdoor living section now feels more like stepping into a backyard paradise.

“We listened to what our customers wanted—more selection, better flow, and a store that reflects the vibrancy of our community,” McClenahan adds.

Beyond the bricks and mortar, what really stands out is the sense of pride among the staff. Long-time employees beam as they show off the new layout, and newer team members are eager to contribute to the next chapter of the store’s legacy.
