Home Hardware to add Burnside location
A new Home Hardware store will be opening later this year in the space formerly occupied by a Salvation Army retail outlet and before that, an Oakcrest Foods supermarket.

Workers are currently renovating the former thrift store in the Albion mall at 50 Burnside Road in Saanich about half a kilometre east of Tillicum Centre. It will be the third Vancouver Island Home Hardware operated by Sooke’s Gertsma family.
Founded in 1967, Home Hardware is a co-operative wholesaler, owned by over 1,000 independent operators. This will be the chain’s sixth Victoria-area store. Home Hardware’s other local outlets are in Sooke, Sidney, Saanichton, the Fairfield Plaza and Oak Bay Avenue.

Jan 31, 2012 at 8:53 pmYou mean Costco in Central Saanich?
Was the Langford one even there in 95?

Costco had approached the community several years ago. It would be a welcome location for a Costgo in the region.

Jan 31, 2012 at 11:11 pmCostco is a fantastic place to shop, really great quality food and great prices. There, I said it.
Not sure if the region needs another one though, there's always room at the Langford location, even on a Sunday.
