How Canadian Tire started.....
On September 15, 1922, two brothers John William Billes and Alfred Jackson Billes invested their combined savings of $1,800 in The Hamilton Tire and Garage Ltd
Hamilton Tire & Garage was sold in 1923 and the Billes brothers moved several times before they settled their site at 639 Yonge Street.
In 1934, the first official associate store opened in Hamilton Ontario In 1937, Canadian Tire moved into the new Main store at 837 Yonge Street, after completing many renovations to what once was the Grand Central Market. This location remains as an associate store in the chain today.
