Uncle Wiener's Is Opening in Fort McMurray on June 20. Here's What to Expect. - Uncle Wiener's Wholesale

Fort Mac, we're moving in.

On Saturday, June 20 at 9:00 AM, Uncle Wiener's Wholesale is opening the doors of our newest store at 501 Snow Eagle Drive, inside the old Fort McMurray Airport terminal. We're doing it the only way we know how: with real deals, free food, bouncy castles for the kids, and a store full of stuff you actually use.

If you've never shopped with us before, here's the short version: we're a Canadian-owned, woman-owned wholesale retailer with 20+ locations across Western Canada. We sell tools, trailers, outdoor gear, farm and industrial equipment, home goods, and a whole pile of everyday finds, all at wholesale prices. The name gets a laugh. The service is the serious part.


Why the old terminal?

Because it's the kind of building that means something around here. Almost every Fort Mac household has a memory tied to it. Picking up family. Catching the early flight. Watching the weather and hoping the plane could land. The old terminal has earned its place in the community, and we figured the best thing we could do with it was open it back up and put it to work.

Same building. New purpose. Wholesale prices for everyone.


What's in the store

Uncle Wiener's is built for working folks. That means:

  • Tools and shop equipment for contractors, mechanics, and weekend warriors

  • Trailers and trailer accessories

  • Outdoor gear for camping, hunting, fishing, and yard work

  • Farm and ranch supplies (fencing, tanks, feeders, you name it)

  • Industrial equipment and shop essentials

  • Home goods, kitchen finds, and seasonal stock that rotates fast

It's part hardware store, part discount destination, part "I had no idea I needed this until I saw it." That last part is the fun one.


Bring the whole family

This isn't a sales event. It's a community day. Here's what we've got going on for the kids while you shop (or while you don't, more on that in a sec):

  • 🏰 Bouncy castles set up for the little ones to burn off some energy

  • 🍦 Cold treats to keep everyone happy through the day

  • 🎁 Giveaways and contests running throughout the day

  • 🌭 Free hot dogs and drinks for everyone, all day long

Come for an hour. Stay the whole day. Whatever works for your crew.


What's happening on opening day

We're not doing a soft launch. June 20 is going to be a full day:

🔧 10% off everything in the store. Not a select category. Not a "with purchase of." Everything.

⚡ Flash sales throughout the day. Keep an eye on the signs and the speakers. Some deals will only last an hour.

🚨 Door Crasher Shelf. Limited-quantity, deeply discounted items. When they're gone, they're gone, so showing up early is a real strategy.

🎁 Giveaways and contests. Throughout the day. Stick around.

🧾 The Receipt Challenge. Spend $50 or more in-store on opening day, keep your receipt, and use it for $5 off your next online order at unclewiener.com. Shop in-store. Save again online. Easy.


Seriously, you don't have to buy anything...

We mean it. Come hang out. Eat a hot dog. Let the kids bounce around. Have a look around the store. Get to know us. That's the whole point of opening day. We're new in town and we want to meet our neighbours. If you find something you've been needing, great. If not, no pressure. Come back next week.


Why Fort McMurray?

Because you asked. Because this is a community that knows the value of a hard-earned dollar and doesn't have a lot of patience for nonsense. Fort Mac is the kind of place where people work for what they have and want a store that respects that. We think we fit right in.

We're a real business. Real stores. Real staff. Secure checkout online, clear shipping and returns, and if something isn't right, we make it right. No gimmicks, no funny business, just wholesale pricing and straight answers.
