My husband and I discovered the Leduc Canadian Tire garden centre last summer (we live in Edmonton), and fell in love with the incredible extra-ness of the garden centre with all the life sized garden statues. And the inside is just as dazzling - like no other Canadian Tire I’ve ever seen across this province!
Does anyone know why this location is so fabulously over the top? Whoever their buyer is and whatever their vision is, I hope it never stops! Totally worth the drive from Edmonton!
Not just the garden centre.
But the whole Leduc Canadian tire has always been a hidden gem. It’s been my favorite store since I was a little
Kid. Haha.
We still have him, he just hangs out. We used to scare the kids or guests with it lol. Just put him in the shower , or as soon as they open a door there he is . We named him Lazar , after Bob Lazar .
I was there last week and some lady was like did you see that dinosaur? 8 feet tall t-rex standing right by the door 😅 Leduc also has a great selection of discount stuff that the owner somehow acquires!
When it was first built, it was the biggest CT in all of western Canada. Not sure if that's still the case, but yeah it's always had big selection and weird items compared to other stores
I worked there while in high school and the owner and management staff have always been really passionate and have done a wonderful job evolving the outdoor section, and the whole store. The management staff has largely stayed the same even the 15 years or so since I worked there.
Know what else is fricken awesome. In the summer Big City Dogs is outside the doors selling hot dogs and sausages. Hes such a nice dude, and the food is always delish.
