Just textted my son and looks like March 5 now for Guelph Fergus Waterdown and Milton stores

Good news for Guelph and surrounding areas. Just 5 more days

Still, if a Target is located close to where you live, the competitors will try to adjust prices to keep existing customers. I think you will still benefit. Also, price matching using printed flyers may be allowed with the retailers that are available in your area.

Oh for sure, people here are just excited to get such a big Urban Planet. Its gonna be one of the bigger one's. Sudbury which is 3 hours away is 3x the size of Timmins and ours is gonna be much bigger than theirs for some reason lol.

See.
Progress.
Even if there is no Target there.

So, it's working. Let the games begin!

If your store opens tomorrow, please post your thoughts on the store. Let us know what to expect.
Thanks

I work just across the street from the Guelph location. I will pop in at lunch time and see what it is like.

I'm not really sure how all of you are finding out when the stores are opening as I checked all these newspaper links and the target canada website and none of them have exact opening dates, just months.

So as far as I can tell its all speculation as to when which stores open when.

The SquareOne location looks almost ready. I saw people coming in and out so it should be soon. I talked to my sister in the USA about my excitement of having a Target store near my house and she said "There's nothing special about Target".

so where is the sign-up sheet for the SC field trip to target??

The one very special thing about it: WALLYWORLD is finally going to have some true competition. Should be good for a reality check. Wallyworld seems to think they can bully consumers lately. My local Wallyworld was greeting people at the doors this morn and everything was so clean and organized for once. When I was greeted this morn I replied with a T-Minus 30 days and counting for TARGET hehehehehe you shoulda seen the face on the CSM just PRICELESS.......

It's also in todays Smart Canucks blog, that there is a Toronto Star article.

Great idea. We could charter a bus. Wonder if the bus companies have discount coupons for renting their buses?

Thanks!
Wondering if they are having any freebies or incentives when each store opens. This would be great.

The Globe and Mail website has a sneak peek inside the Guelph Target http://www.theglobeandmail.com Call me disappointed it's Zellers it's only cleaner and tidier.They even call unadvertised sales a temporary price cut isn't that what Zellers called them too.
