Target Corp. has announced the first 105 locations that it will take over from Zellers when it begins opening stores in Canada in early 2013.
“This is just the first wave,” Target Canada president Tony Fisher told media in a presentation in Chicago Thursday.
The list includes properties in 10 provinces; 13 in Alberta, 15 in British Columbia, five in Manitoba, one in New Brunswick, two in Newfoundland and Labrador, two in Nova Scotia, 45 in Ontario, one in PEI, 19 in Quebec, and two in Saskatchewan.
The “vast majority” of those sites will become Target stores, he said, after securing construction approval for extensive renovations. “Our goal is to open as many Target stores as possible,” with the first wave opening in early 2013.
Target will pay half of the $1.82-billion purchase price to Zellers owner Richard Baker in coming days for Zellers leasehold interests. In January the retailer announced it was buying up to 220 leaseholds from Zellers, a unit of Hudson’s Bay Co.
Target also announced it will open its Canadian headquarters in 180,000 square feet of space in Missisauga, Ont. The Canadian leadership team will be moving to Canada this summer.
In September the retailer will announce a second wave of store sites, Mr. Fisher said.

CHICAGO —


Target Corp has signed leases on 105 locations in Canada, the giant U.S. retailer announced early Thursday.

The stores are located in all 10 provinces across the country, Target Canada president Tony Fisher told a press conference.


The locations include 45 stores in Ontario, with six in Toronto.



They are in Cloverdale Mall, Shoppers World Danforth, East York Town Centre, Bridlewood Mall, Centrepoint Mall and Woodbine Centre.


The popular chain also said it would announce a second wave of stores in September.
The first stores are expected to open in the spring of 2013.


The second largest U.S. retailer after Wal-Mart is expected to have a huge impact on the Canadian retail scene.



Most of the 105 stores would be converted to Targets. Others may be leased to other retailers or given back to the landlords, the company said.


The Minneapolis-based firm announced in January it was acquiring the leasehold rights to 220 Zellers store locations for $1.85 billion. It is a real estate transaction and Target is not acquiring the stores.


Zellers has said it will continue to operate the 70 sites Target is not acquiring.


The cheap chic department store retailer, known for high style at low prices, also said it has secure a head office for its Canadian team in Mississauga.


The building, AeroCentre V, is a LEED-certified building in keeping with the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability.


The Target Canada team is made up entirely of executives of its U.S. operations but it expects to hire tens of thousands of “qualified Canadians” including senior leaders, Fisher said.



Each store will employ 100 to 150 people.


The stores will continue to operate as Zellers for the time being. About six to nine months prior to reopening as Targets, the stores will close for renovations. The retailer expects to spend at least $10 million converting each site.

2 in London, none in Sarnia. Does that mean that the current Sarnia Zellers stays a Zellers, or is it more likely to just close?

[Oakie]

Sweet! Looks like I'll have 3 that are within a 15 minute drive from me!! Only bad thing is having to wait another 2 years.
