OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/11/13 -- Giant Tiger is excited to announce the opening of our very first store in Prince Edward Island! Since making the announcement on January 10, Giant Tiger has been thrilled with the warm welcome we have received from residents as well as the business community.
The store will be located in Summerside and will occupy a portion of the Zellers location at 475 Granville Street North which will be closing soon, and will offer approximately 19,000 square feet of selling space.
"We are thrilled to be expanding into Prince Edward Island," says Greg Farrell President and COO, Giant Tiger Stores Limited. "The residents of Prince Edward Island have been asking us for a long time to bring our unique brand values to the Island and we can't wait to have the Summerside store as a part of the Giant Tiger family."
The new store will open on April 19, 2014.
