I've heard Target was taking over too.. a friend of the family is a manager at a Zellers here in wpg and he told us the whole rebranding of the stores that they did 2 or 3 months ago was to help entice Target to come take over.

hmmm interesting...I remember when I heard Walmart was coming to Canada. I thought OH GAWD NO!!! but now I love Walmart (well most of the time at least).
I'd be open to a Target store...more competition means lower prices for the consumers!Join Swagbucks: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/jojoskelowna

For sure Kool-I have heard rumblings befre, specifically when HBC was bought a while back. As I read the CTV article I thought how much of this is fact and how much is speculation...still would love to see Target here, I am not a huge Zellers fan

Our Zellers is terrible here. I used to work in Zellers Red Deer and the selection and store was incredible. It seems like our store here orders stock for Christmas and then just spends all year trying to sell it off.... by May they have no summer shoes left.. but winter boots are hanging out in the shelves in August with dust on them.
Our make up dept looks like a coloring box exploded. No one EVER cleans that dept.

i like zellers, i find it so much easier to use coupons, and to price match. i always have such trouble doing it at walmart. even with scop i never have a problem at zellers. walmart always makes you feel like you're stealing when you price match/scop or use coupons

Wow that would be cool! It will definately be competition for WM! I wonder though... when one of our WM's pulled out of one of our biggest malls here to turn into a Super Walmart, they announced Zellers was going to be moving in to the old WM location in the mall. This was last summer already and nothing is open yet. You would think there shouldn't be too much to do when converting from one big box store to another?? Or maybe its on stand still because of this???

I would love to have Target over here. I have some relatives in the states and they love Target. I like Zellers but I wouldn't be sad to see it go.

That rumour has been going around for atleast 10 years.
There is quite a few things in clothing & shoes that are identicle in Target & zellers.
I like that Zellers price matches & takes spc card.
I cant imagine Target would do either. They don't price match in their US stores.
