Shoppers eagerly waiting for the opening of the new Giant Tiger store in Swift Current will have to wait a little while longer.

The 18,900 square-foot store at the Wheatland Mall was to have opened in October, but Christine Reimer, Vice President and General Manager of the North West Company's Giant Tiger West Store Division, says the opening has been delayed.
 
She says that they can't comment on the reason for the delay, but can say that they are working through some internal issues. Reimer adds they also can't comment on when, exactly, the store will open, only saying that they are looking at opening it in the new year.
 
The Giant Tiger is part of the Wheatland Mall's $4-million redevelopment announced back in the spring, along with the opening of a new Bulk Barn store, which is set for this coming week.
