The long-awaited Canadian Tire store in North Saanich slated to open Friday, will be the first retailer to open at Sandown Park Shopping Centre, the site of the former Sandown race track.

Grant Wood, owner and operator of Canadian Tire Store No. 932, said it is a soft opening, with the formal launch planned for Nov. 8 from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. featuring giveaways and an appearance by legendary NHL goaltender Kirk McLean.

Wood said it took just over two months to set up the store, which included fixture assembly and electrical work. There will be 32,000 sq. ft. of retail space and touch screens throughout the store will allow customers to search for products and check prices.
