by Special K in"a calgary bar accepting canadian tire money..... a city bar in letting customers use canadian tire money to purchase alcohol.. pete's peanut pub allows patrons to buy drinks once a week with the promotional money issued by the huge retailing chain to its customers.. bar owner, kevin young said he wanted a gimmick to draw more people through the front door and uses the money to buy supplies for his business from canadian tire.. the alberta liquor and gambling commission suggests allowing patrons to use the money as legal tender is like giving liquor away for free, but young said that's not his intent.. canadian tire spokeswoman jennifer saxton said the franchise isknown as a family business and it's inappropriate for the tender to be used to buy beer.
