Canadian Tire???????

huh I would've never imagined CT to buy Hudsons Bay


For non-Canadians, my shock comes from the fact that:

  • Canadian Tire (which is primarily known as the place where you get your tires changed and maybe buy home appliances) bought
    • Hudsons Bay (which is primarily a retail clothing and beauty company).

It's like an ice cream company buying a travel agency; it's not impossible, it's just quite shocking if it happens.


Edit:
Oh wow I didn't realize that CT already owned companies such as SportChek and Marks🤔 TIL.

I'm not too surprised, but I think CT needs to be careful with how many product categories they have. Earlier this year they sold off the Helly Hanson brand ($1.3bil), so they've got a hole in their portfolio to fill during the 4-year/$2bil restructuring.
