"We are honored to bring Tepperman's to St. Catharines," said Andrew Tepperman, 3^rd generation President. This expansion was driven by the city's vibrant community, economic growth, and shared values of sustainability and family. "Not only is it the right location for business; it's about embedding ourselves within the fabric of the community and contributing to its growth and vibrancy," said Tepperman.

The store, equipped with a 44,000-square-foot showroom, will employ about 50 people and will feature complete lifestyle vignettes, bright LED and natural lighting, defined aisle ways for easy navigation, a designated kid's area, and a café area offering customers free coffee and popcorn.
