  • Sanctuary AI completed the first commercial deployment of its general-purpose humanoid robot at a Mark's retail store in Langley, BC, through the company's partnership with Canadian Tire Corporation.
  • The deployment was positioned around a concrete retail workload mix (for example, picking, packing, cleaning, tagging, labeling, and folding) rather than a one-off demo.
  • The milestone matters because it anchors Sanctuary's early commercial story in a named, operational retail setting with a major Canadian retail partner.
