## Geographic presence

Canadian Tire Corporation’s operations are concentrated in Canada. Its retail and gasoline network spans nearly 1,700 outlets nationwide, and the company says its continuing operations generate only nominal revenue outside Canada. It does not report a precise Canada-versus-international revenue split. [1](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P138381503)[15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P138382685)

The company’s registered office is at 2180 Yonge Street in Toronto, Ontario. Together with its local dealers and franchisees, it employs tens of thousands of Canadians, though it does not provide a geographic workforce breakdown. Its former international Helly Hansen business was sold in 2025.

## Business segments

Canadian Tire Corporation reports three operating segments: Retail, Financial Services and CT REIT. Retail includes the Canadian Tire, Mark’s and SportChek banners, along with PartSource, Party City in Canada and Canadian Tire Gas+; it also includes the dealer loan program and real estate outside CT REIT. Financial Services provides Triangle credit cards, Canadian Tire-branded lines of credit, deposit products, insurance marketing and payment settlement services. CT REIT holds Canadian real estate primarily comprising Canadian Tire stores, Canadian Tire-anchored retail developments and industrial properties. [18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P138382664)[19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P138382665)[12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P138382666)[20](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P138382669)

In 2025, Retail generated C$14.72 billion in external revenue, or approximately 90% of consolidated revenue. Financial Services generated C$1.54 billion, or approximately 9%, and CT REIT generated C$64 million, or approximately 0.4%. These shares are approximate because the segment figures are subject to consolidation adjustments. CT REIT’s external revenue understates its rental activity within the group: it also recorded C$540 million of intercompany revenue, which is eliminated in consolidation.

## Company history

Canadian Tire traces its origins to 1922, when brothers J.W. and A.J. Billes bought a tire and garage business in Toronto. They incorporated Canadian Tire Corporation in 1927. The company issued its first mail-order catalogue in 1926, and introduced both Canadian Tire Money and its first gas bar in 1958.[21](https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/canadian-tire-corporation-limited)[22](https://corp.canadiantire.ca/CT-100-Logo-History/)[23](https://corp.canadiantire.ca/English/about-us/triangle/default.aspx)[24](https://csnews.com/canadian-tire-petroleum-celebrates-45-years)

Its financial-services business took a significant step in 1968, when it acquired the credit processor that became Canadian Tire Acceptance Limited and issued a card for use at its stores and gas bars. Canadian Tire later expanded through acquisitions: Mark’s Work Wearhouse in 2002, The Forzani Group—bringing Sport Chek—in 2011, and Helly Hansen in 2018. Canadian Tire Bank began operations in 2003. The company sold Helly Hansen in 2025.[25](https://corp.canadiantire.ca/English/investors/debtholders/glacier-credit-card-trust/history-of-canadian-tire-bank-canadian-tire-financial-services/default.aspx)[26](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/canadian-tire-closes-marks-deal/article1171777/)[27](https://canadiantire.mediaroom.com/2011-08-25-Canadian-Tire-Completes-Acquisition-of-The-Forzani-Group,1)[28](https://corp.canadiantire.ca/English/media/news-releases/press-release-details/2018/Canadian-Tire-Corporation-Completes-Acquisition-of-Helly-Hansen/default.aspx)[29](https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canadian-tire-gets-clearance-for-new-bank-1.370203)[17](https://corp.canadiantire.ca/English/media/news-releases/press-release-details/2025/Canadian-Tire-Corporation-announces-completion-of-Helly-Hansen-sale/default.aspx)
