Unfortunately Canadian Tire Stores across Canada have been forced into Corporate price gouging. Only dealers with scruples will keep ammunition pricing at reasonable prices.
I ran the largest Canadian Tire Pro Shop in Cranbrook, BC for close to four years. We had over 800 firearms and over one million dollars in ammunition. Because I created and ran this Pro Shop and the fact I had a great dealer/owner, we had the best prices and selection in BC.
Now under new ownership, and with me retiring due to health issues, it is once again a Corporate run standard Canadian Tire sports shop. All my good staff also left once I was finished. It's a crying shame, but it is a Corporate CT reality that is run by Toronto and it's big wigs out there.
I have noticed the firearm prices are now 30%-40% higher and ammunition prices practically doubled on some items. Other ammunition went up 60%-80%. An absolute disgrace to my 3.75 years of hard work........
