LEON’S FURNITURE LTD. $15.26 (Toronto symbol LNF; TSINetwork Rating: Average) (416-243- 7880; www.leons.ca; Shares outstanding: 71.7 million; Market cap: $1.1 billion; Dividend yield: 2.6%) took over the leases on eight furniture showrooms earlier this year. The outlets were operated by money-losing Sears Canada.

The company is now converting those locations to Leon’s stores, and aims to open all eight of them by September 2016. Four of the showrooms are in B.C., three are in Ontario, and one is in New Brunswick.

Leon’s is still a buy.
