It seems like we were only getting used to having Target stores in Canada. The giant American retailer came in with a lot of noise taking over Zellers locations bringing a piece of Americana to our shopping trails. However, things have not gone as expected for Target and now Target Canada is closing all 133 stores in Canada and putting 17,000 Canadian workers out of a job. For now it seems that stores will be open for a bit longer, assume that there will be some clearance sales going to get rid of merchandise.
I personally thought that Target was a very good addition to the shopping landscape but with news that they are losing tons of money in Canada I have to assume that Canadians as a whole who seem to have supported Targets entry in Canada were not as enthoused after a while.
The only question I have is..... Will we get back Zellers?
