About

Peavey Mart offers a unique variety of products including tools, agriculture, plumbing, electrical, clothing, pet supplies, seasonal products, toys, furniture, and housewares.

The company slogan is "Hardware and a whole lot more"

Peavey Mart is owned in whole by its parent company, Peavey Industries Limited (PIL).

Since 1974, Peavey Mart has been serving Western Canada. Although originally a subsidiary of Peavey Company of Minneapolis with company roots dating back to over 100 years, the Peavey Mart chain corporately known as Peavey Industries Limited, was sold to the management group in 1984. Since that time, Peavey Mart has continued to remain 100% Western Canadian owned.

Peavey Mart’s head office is located in Red Deer, Alberta, including a 150,000 square foot distribution centre. The corporate chain includes 29 Peavey Mart stores across Western Canada ranging in size from 10,000 to 35,000 square feet.

Peavey Mart has a team of over 700 employees.

In 2013, Peavey Mart announced they would be adding electric car charging stations to all of their locations, [1]
