The Giant Tiger in North Battleford is going to be staying put.
The discount store was set to close its doors this November, after opening just last May. But the North Battleford location, as well as one in Wetaskiwin, were added to the purchase deal on Friday.
Originally, the North West Company was just going to sell 34 of its Western Canada Giant Tiger locations to Giant Tiger Stores Limited, but North Battleford and Wetaskiwin are now included to make it 36.
“I’m pleased that stores 442 Wetaskiwin and 451 North Battleford are joining the group of the 34 other Western Canada Giant Tiger stores that we have acquired,” said Paul Wood, President and Chief Operating Officer, Giant Tiger Stores Limited in a statement. “These two stores were slated to close under the previous agreement with NWC but will now remain open and I am delighted that the associates at these two locations can join us as Giant Tiger employees and we can keep serving these communities with everyday low prices.”
