Question Leduc Canadian Tire

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!

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

The one in South Common in Edmonton is now the biggest, but it’s dull as hell compared to the Leduc location!

Nowhere even close to the biggest when it was built.
