This company traces its history back to the original North West Company of fur traders that helped to open up Canada. Today it still operates general stores across the Canadian North and in Alaska but has expanded into warmer climes (the Caribbean and South Pacific) and to urban areas with its Giant Tiger brand.
Income Investor
First quarter results were very strong. Consolidated sales increased 4%, to $617.5 million, compared with $593.6 million last year. The gain was driven by same-store sales growth, one extra day of sales in the quarter (Feb. 29), and the impact of new stores. - Gordon Pape
