Peavy Mart to Close

Peavey Mart, a staple for rural and small-town Canadian communities since 1967, has announced the closure of 22 stores across Ontario and Nova Scotia as part of a larger restructuring plan. While the full impact on Saskatchewan locations remains unclear, concerns are growing as similar discussions emerge in communities like Estevan and Saskatoon.

The closures aim to address underperforming locations and improve long-term stability for the company amid a challenging retail environment. Peavey Industries LP has partnered with Gordon Brothers Realty Services to manage transitions for employees and communities. CEO Doug Anderson stated that these changes are necessary to adapt to evolving market conditions, though they deeply affect loyal staff and customers oai_citation:1,Peavey Mart Announces 22 Store Closures Amid Restructuring – The Pinnacle Gazette oai_citation:2,Some or all Saskatchewan and other Peavey Mart locations might be closing – 620 CKRM.
