Established in 1961 in Ottawa's Byward Market, the privately held company now has over 270 locations across Canada and employs approximately 10,000 team members. All Giant Tiger locations are locally owned and operated by a team member who knows and is involved in their community. The company offers shopping the way that fits customers' lives, with an easy, fun, and safe in-store shopping experience or online shopping for delivery or in-store pickup, focusing on providing quality merchandise and everyday low prices. While the Byward Market location may not be as spacious or busy as other Giant Tiger stores, it is known as a local heritage site, with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Some customers have had positive experiences, while others have encountered issues and may not return to that specific location.
Very cramped store. And pretty much everytime I'm there, an employee is chasing out a homeless person. Not sure how people in wheelchairs are supposed to use this story as it's two stories.. clothing upstairs and groceries downstairs. Never seen an elevator though for accessibility and no ramp

In my time of need Giant Tiger gives me bananas and paper towels. This location is too small but it is iconic.

Iconic spot - the first Giant Tiger. With two floors, this spot has clothes and accessories, homewares, basic groceries, and hygeine products. The staff are lovely and well equipped to run this location.
