Customers in Richmond can now purchase major home appliances while earning and redeeming PC Optimum points in pilot program between Canadian Appliance Source and Real Canadian Superstore

BRAMPTON, ON, August 3, 2023 – Today, Real Canadian Superstore (RCSS) announced a new pilot in British Columbia, making it easier and more rewarding for customers to get everything they need for their home and kitchen – from the food they make, to the appliances they use. Already a one-stop destination for everyday necessities, RCSS is teaming up with Canadian Appliance Source (CAS) with a store-in-store model in Richmond selling major appliances.

The pilot store, located at 4651 No.3 Road, has more than a dozen top brands to choose from in-store including LG, Kitchen Aid, Samsung, Bosch and Frigidaire along with access to the majority of CAS’s extended online catalogue. The kiosk will offer the same quality service customers have come to expect from CAS, but now with the added benefit of being able to earn or redeem PC Optimum points on major appliance purchases.

“Our store teams take pride in the services and products we provide that help customers save for real,” said Jonathan Carroll, Senior Vice President, Operations for RCSS. “That’s why we’re pleased to work with CAS to give our customers more of what they want, with a company who shares our commitment to choice, value, and quality.”

“CAS is incredibly excited about this opportunity to work with such an iconic brand in Canada,” said Ari Klein, CEO & Founder, Canadian Appliance Source. “Bringing our signature appliance shopping experience to the Real Canadian Superstore consumers, plus the opportunity to benefit from the PC Optimum program, is a win-win for everyone.”

The British Columbia location is a part of a broader pilot program, initially launched in Ontario earlier this year, with plans to expand to a small number of additional RCSS locations across the country. The kiosks will be staffed by CAS appliance experts and offer the same service, terms and conditions as standalone CAS stores.
