My trip to Target Langley

So I went to Target Langley for the opening today. Here are my highlights

-I went at about noon and man was it a mad house.
-I had to park all the way over at Sears.
-Massive lineup for the cash registers
-There's a Starbucks at the outside entrance.
-Massive female clothing selection. Small male clothing selection.
-So many MILF's. Looks like most of the people in the store are people that normally shop at Safeway or Save-On Foods. Can't see any people that would look like they belong on www.peopleofwalmart.com
-Mossimo v-necks are $9.99. They fit slimmer than H&M v-necks, which are $7.
-Waittime for fitting rooms was >30 minutes. They only had 6 rooms and only allowed up to 6 items at one time. Practically every single women in line had 15+ items, which meant they hogged the rooms.
-Fitting rooms are small and kind of dirty. Reminded me of Zellers.
-Staff are extremely friendly and every single one was smiling. Huge difference from the old Zellers employees.
-The store was fairly stocked and only missing stuff in a few areas
-Electronic section sucks. Laptops are absolute junk. Flash drives and SD cards are old as and the prices are two times anywhere else. TV selection wasn't that bad.
-Big Apple section with iPhone 5, 4S, touch, iPad, mini, and iPod tables
-Groceries tended to be more expensive than Superstore.
-Grocery selection still sucks compared to stores in the USA.
-Soft goods like towels, bedding, etc are pretty good for the price.
-Perfumes/cologne selection is an absolute joke. They pretty much only have celebrity fragrances and none of the regular assortment sold at The Bay, Holt, etc.
-No big appliances.
-Big selection of Dyson products. Forgot to write down prices.
-The store is extremely easy to get lost in. The layout reminds me of Ikea. Extremely annoying that groceries are in the very far corner.
-They were giving away extremely small slivers of an absolutely massive cake at the mall entrance.

What is it about us folks in the Lower Fraser Valley? Seems we don't want to miss out on a grand opening. I remember similar reports the day the Super Walmart opened in South Surrey.....no parking, line-ups out the door, etc. It sounds like I should wait a few weeks until things settle down at Target and venture out then. Thanks for doing the advance scouting for us! Your report is greatly appreciate and very comprehensive!!!

Thanks so much for all your info :) I think I might wait a bit before heading out with the kids

Thanks for the reveiw

On a related note, Walmart was sooo dead yesterday.

I went to the one at Coquitlam Centre, you were so right about the prices, line up for the dressing room, I think I would rather go down to Bellingman.
