==Operations==
At the end of 2018, Canadian Tire employed 12,735 full-time and 17,951 part-time employees in the corporate structure.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://s22.q4cdn.com/405442328/files/doc_financials/en/2018/q4/7-AIF-EN.PDF | title=Canadian Tire Corporation 2018 Annual Information | access-date=August 18, 2019 | page=19 | archive-date=November 9, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231109190559/https://s22.q4cdn.com/405442328/files/doc_financials/en/2018/q4/7-AIF-EN.PDF | url-status=live }}</ref> These figures do not include temporary employees or employees working for Associate Stores, petroleum stores or franchise stores. There is an in-house '''Triangle Learning Academy''', an allusion to the triangular CTC logo for employee and Associate Store management training.

===Financial services===
[[Canadian Tire Financial Services|Canadian Tire Bank]] (CTB) is the company's retail deposit-taking and credit card issuing arm. They are held indirectly under the ''Canadian Tire Services, Limited'', holding company, '''Canadian Tire Bank''' (CTB), a bank under Canada's ''Bank Act'' since 2003. Before 2003, all financing occurred under the ''Canadian Tire Financial Services''. In 2014, [[Scotiabank|The Bank of Nova Scotia]] acquired a 20% economic and voting interest in Canadian Tire Bank, with an option to acquire up to an additional 30% of the company within ten years (or require Canadian Tire buy back its existing 20% interest) at the then fair market value of the business for $500&nbsp;million CAD in cash.<ref>{{cite web |title=Canadian Tire Corporation and Scotiabank enter a strategic business partnership that includes Scotiabank acquiring 20% of Canadian Tire's Financial Services Business |url=https://corp.canadiantire.ca/English/media/news-releases/press-release-details/2014/Canadian-Tire-Corporation-and-Scotiabank-enter-strategic-business-partnership-that-includes-Scotiabank-acquiring-20-of-Canadian-Tires-Financial-Services-Business/default.aspx |website=Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited |access-date=August 25, 2019 |archive-date=August 25, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825171101/https://corp.canadiantire.ca/English/media/news-releases/press-release-details/2014/Canadian-Tire-Corporation-and-Scotiabank-enter-strategic-business-partnership-that-includes-Scotiabank-acquiring-20-of-Canadian-Tires-Financial-Services-Business/default.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

Ostensibly in tandem with [[Scotiabank]]'s acquisition of a minority position in [[Canadian Tire Financial Services|Canadian Tire Bank]], Canadian Tire renamed its intermediary holding company ''Canadian Tire Financial Services Limited'' as [[Canadian Tire Financial Services|Canadian Tire Services, Limited]], effective January 1, 2015, dropping the moniker ''Canadian Tire Financial Services'' from use.<ref name="2015 Annual Information Form from Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited"/><ref name="2014 Annual Information Form from Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited"/> Additionally, in approximately 2018, Canadian Tire rebranded its credit card-issuing online banking website as ''Canadian Tire Bank'', removing the last vestige of ''Canadian Tire Financial Services'' from active use.

[[File:CanadianTireGasRichmondHill.jpg|thumb|A Canadian Tire Gas+ station at [[Richmond Hill, Ontario]]]]
Canadian Tire Petroleum (CTP), operating as Canadian Tire Gas+, is the division of Canadian Tire which operates gas stations and car washes.<ref name="auto"/> CTP was founded in 1958 as a means of increasing customer traffic to Canadian Tire stores.<ref name="csn-2003oct05">{{cite news |url=http://www.csnews.com/canadian-tire-petroleum-celebrates-45-years?nopaging=1 |title=Canadian Tire Petroleum Celebrates 45 Years |website=Convenience Store News |date=October 5, 2003 |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |access-date=August 5, 2017 |archive-date=August 6, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806024237/http://www.csnews.com/canadian-tire-petroleum-celebrates-45-years?nopaging=1 |url-status=live }}</ref> In Ontario, CTP also operates Pit Stop, which provides services like oil changes and rust checks. The [[Canadian Tire money]] loyalty program was originally launched through the gas bars as "Gas Bonus Coupons." CTP has opened three Q Stop stores featuring a mini-grocery store and other items. {{Citation needed|date=August 2019}}

CTP also holds the concession to operate the 24-hour gas stations at [[ONroute]] [[rest area|service centres]] in [[Ontario]] along [[Ontario Highway 401|Highway 401]] and parts of [[Ontario Highway 400|Highway 400]].<ref>{{cite web|date=August 18, 2019|title=Fuel|url=http://onroute.ca/fuel/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160905231312/http://onroute.ca/fuel/|archive-date=September 5, 2016|website=ONroute}}</ref>

In May 2023, Canadian Tire announced an agreement with [[Suncor Energy]], under which all Canadian Tire Gas+ locations will be converted to [[Petro-Canada]] franchises, and the company's Petro-Points rewards program will be integrated with Canadian Tire's Triangle program.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lindenberg |first=Greg on |title=Canadian Tire to Convert More Than 200 Stations to the Petro-Canada Brand |url=https://cspdailynews.com/company-news/canadian-tire-convert-more-200-stations-petro-canada-brand |access-date=2024-02-01 |website=CSP Daily News |language=en}}</ref> The first converted location opened in July 2024 in [[Kitchener, Ontario]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-14 |title=Canadian Tire Gas+ unveils first Petro-Canada site rebrand |url=https://ccentral.ca/canadian-tire-gas-unveils-first-petro-canada-site-rebrand |access-date=2024-09-19 |website=CCentral |language=en}}</ref>

===Retail===
[[Moody's Investors Service|Moody's]] observed Canadian Tire's unique position in Canadian retail as being "often both misunderstood and underestimated" and "completely foreign" in comparison to U.S. retail, citing its variety of products (ranging from auto parts to sporting goods to outdoors products and grocery at some locations) and that "its proprietary 'currency,' Canadian Tire money, which is a by-product of its loyalty program, has been accepted across Canada by multiple retailers and could almost be described as a '[[Fiat money|sub-fiat]]' currency."<ref>{{cite news |last=Babad |first=Michael |title=Triple-eh: Moody's lauds Canadian Tire money as almost 'sub-fiat' |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/top-business-stories/triple-eh-moodys-lauds-canadian-tire-money-as-almost-sub-fiat/article18610798/#dashboard/follows/ |access-date=May 12, 2014 |newspaper=[[The Globe and Mail]] |location=Toronto |date=May 12, 2014 |archive-date=May 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140512194043/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/top-business-stories/triple-eh-moodys-lauds-canadian-tire-money-as-almost-sub-fiat/article18610798/#dashboard/follows/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In November 2000, Canadian Tire introduced an online retail operation. On January 1, 2009, citing consumer disinterest in online shopping compared to its physical stores, the Company discontinued online sales.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=January 20, 2009 |title=Canadian Tire to cease online sales |url=http://www.upi.com/Business_News/2009/01/20/Canadian_Tire_to_cease_online_sales/UPI-26531232457534/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022064707/http://www.upi.com/Business_News/2009/01/20/Canadian_Tire_to_cease_online_sales/UPI-26531232457534/ |archive-date=October 22, 2012 |access-date=December 15, 2012 |work=United Press International}}</ref> On November 1, 2013, Canadian Tire returned to online shopping with delivery to stores.<ref>{{cite news |last=Nguyen |first=Linda |date=November 7, 2013 |title=Canadian Tire makes move into e-commerce |url=https://www.thestar.com/business/2013/11/07/canadian_tire_profits_jump_10_per_cent_in_third.html/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131214054129/http://www.thestar.com/business/2013/11/07/canadian_tire_profits_jump_10_per_cent_in_third.html |archive-date=December 14, 2013 |access-date=April 3, 2014 |newspaper=[[Toronto Star]]}}</ref>

In 2009, Canadian Tire introduced a new "Smart store" concept featuring "boutiques" that prominently showcased products within the chain's core product categories. Popular product categories such as auto parts and home goods were moved towards the front of the store to improve their prominence, and some locations began to sell common groceries as a pilot project.<ref name="gandm-smart">{{Cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/its-superstores-stalling-canadian-tire-gets-smart/article4193609/|title=Its superstores stalling, Canadian Tire gets 'smart'|work=The Globe and Mail|access-date=14 November 2018|archive-date=May 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210518023748/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/its-superstores-stalling-canadian-tire-gets-smart/article4193609/|url-status=live}}</ref>
