I am wondering if there is any consideration in opening a Giant Tiger Store in Elliot Lake, Ontario. Currently, there are no clothing stores other than a women's consignment store and a re-use store. I feel the area needs a good store like Giant Tiger to provide clothing, household goods and groceries to the community. Thank you for reviewing my request, Ellen Read ellenread58@gmail.com
