Party City has expanded its footprint with four new stores opening just in time for Halloween.
This expansion marks the first set of store openings since Canadian Tire Corporation acquired Party City in 2019 and includes the retailer’s official entry into Manitoba, with two stores now open in Winnipeg along with new locations in Kitchener and Kanata.
Party City says it is the ultimate party supply destination with more than 13,000 affordable, innovative and stylish solutions for the many celebrations and milestones celebrated by Canadians. It says the new 7,000+ square-foot locations boast a colourful and festive atmosphere with a clean, open and easy-to-navigate layout that has products organized by occasion and theme throughout the store.
Erin McFeetors, Vice President & Managing Director, Party City Canada, said the brand has expanded its presence in Canada and has a total of 69 stores across eight provinces.
Locations of the four new stores:
- Party City Kanata, 501 Earl Grey Drive, Kanata, ON
- Party City Kitchener Sunrise Centre, 1400 Ottawa Street South, Kitchener, ON
- Party City Winnipeg Kenaston, 1765 Kenaston Boulevard, Winnipeg, MB
- Party City Winnipeg Polo Park, 1545 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB
“These four new stores are the first new standalone Party City locations to open in Canada since being acquired by Canadian Tire Corporation in 2019. In addition to the now 69 locations, customers can find Party City products in most Canadian Tire stores across the country and online at Partycity.ca and Canadiantire.ca.,” she said.
“We do not have any additional store openings planned for the remainder of the year. While we don’t have anything to share at the moment, we are always assessing the market for future opportunities.”
McFeetors said Party City is the ultimate party supply destination for the many milestones, holidays and events – big and small – celebrated by Canadians.
“We help make joy easy for everything customers need to celebrate, featuring an assortment of more than 13,000 affordable, innovative, and stylish products for every event from Halloween, birthdays and weddings to Diwali, baby showers and so much more,” she said.
“We are always tapping into the latest trends to refresh our assortment with new themes and licenses for our customers. This fall is no exception with new themes that include Pizza Party, Camo, Malibu Barbie, Spa Party, Stitch Kids, Fiesta Party, Popstar, and Naruto.
“Our customers can get everything they need for their next celebration at Party City, including invitations, decorations, games, candy, costumes, and of course balloons, a main pillar in our assortment. We boast the largest selection of air-filled and helium balloons in the market.”
She said the party supplies market remains vibrant, driven by the many milestones and events Canadians love to celebrate.
“From birthdays and anniversaries to cultural events like Diwali, Eid, Hannukah and Christmas, Canadians continue to seek out ways to make their occasions special. At Party City, we’re well-positioned to meet that demand with both timeless party essentials and innovative new products,” she added.
“We see strong customer engagement across the country, reflected in some fun numbers: this year alone, we’ve sold over 375,000 ring pops—enough to decorate 75,000 hands! Our balloons continue to be a major draw, with over 35 million sold annually, equating to nearly five balloons for every Canadian child. We also sell over 8,200 kilometres of streamers—enough to stretch across Canada 1.5 times! These numbers show that Canadians love to celebrate, and we’re here to make sure they have everything they need for any event, big or small.”
