Calgary bar lets customers use Canadian Tire money to purchase booze
Canadian Press Monday, November 17, 2003
CALGARY (CP) - A city bar is 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.
The multi-hued money is handed out based on how much a customer spends.
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 Gaming 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 Sexton said the franchise is known as a family business and it's inappropriate for the tender to be used to buy beer.
