Ottawa, ON – April 28, 2011 -Giant Tiger Stores Limited is pleased to announce a bigger and better Giant Tiger is opening in Espanola late this fall through an expansion of the current location.

“For Giant Tiger customers, the expansion will mean wider aisles, a larger selection of seasonal goods and clothing merchandise, and an overall improved shopping experience, says Jeanno Lalande , owner and manager of Giant Tiger Espanola. “What will remain the same is our everyday great low prices and great value that our customers have come to know and expect.”
The Giant Tiger in Espanola has been at its present location since early 2004 and has been in the community since 1997. The store will remain open throughout the renovation.
With buying in the heart of Montreal, Canada's fashion capital, and offices in New York, Giant Tiger is always in fashion. Clothes and footwear to keep you dressed in style arrive at the store every day of the year.
