The company's CEO and president, Paul Wood, stated that there is no set date for the planned expansion, however, as the goals are "dictated by opportunity — not trying to hit a specific target."

Similarly, no particular locations for the new stores have been revealed yet. That said, the retailer confirmed that it's looking for "opportunities where Canadians are, and Giant Tiger is not."

Currently, there are 259 Giant Tiger discount stores in Canada, selling an assortment of groceries, homeware, apparel, beauty products, toys, games and more.
