OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/11/13 -- Giant Tiger is excited to announce the move of their Kemptville location to a brand new building! This new Giant Tiger store will be bigger, brighter and better suited to serve the needs of the community in Kemptville.

The store is being redesigned to greatly improve the shopping experience for our customers. Kemptville shoppers will find even more of the same outstanding values, great deals and friendly customer service they've come to expect from Giant Tiger for their fashion, food and home needs - PLUS a lot more space to shop and a fun new Giant Tiger look!

The new store will be located at 2970 County Road 43, Kemptville and will occupy a portion of the former Canadian Tire location. The store will have approximately 15,300 square feet of selling space, a significant increase from 10,143 square feet in the existing store.

"In our new building we will be able to improve your shopping experience making each visit a memorable one," says Store Owner Harry Haider. "I would like to sincerely thank the people of Kemptville who continue to make us their shopping destination of choice and support us as a local retailer."

The new store will open on June 22, 2013.
