Dollarama has a three-for-one split set to transpire later this month. While stock splits are generally non-events for existing shareholders, they offer an opportunity, however small, for new prospective investors that view Dollarama as a great buy but that remains just out of their target price range. This non-event will allow those investors to finally join the party. Canadian Tire Corporation Limited ( TSX:CTC.A ) is a more traditional retailer that will resonate with most Canadians. Traditionally viewed as the place to go for automotive parts, camping equipment, bikes, and skates, the iconic retailer has reinvented itself over the past few years to become one of the successful behemoths of retail in Canada, and, by extension, a best-practices example for other retailers around the world on how to utilize technology to aid in the retail process. When Canadian Tire reinvented itself, the company did so by embracing technology and the new opportunities it provided for growing revenue.
