UPDATE: Will Target leave Canada in 2015? Yes.

[Poirot]

Target is having trouble in the US. 13 stores will be closing:
Austin North East in Austin, TX;
Suncoast Pasco County in Odessa, FL;
Casa Grande, AZ;
Victorville, CA;
East Flint in Flint, MI;
Columbus Southwest in Columbus, OH;
Springfield, OH;
Northridge in Milwaukee, WI;
Superior, WI;
New Ulm, MN;
Ottumwa, IA;
Anderson, IN;
Dixie Highway in Louisville, KY

I wonder if they will be like some Canadians buying stuff like crazy at regular prices thinking they got bargains in these locations.

This time last year, we heard the news that Target would close all their stores.
*sigh*

Wow...fascinating! I still miss Target. I say it to my husband a lot. With the dollar so bad I can't justify the 45 minute drive to the U.S. To get my fix! So sad but reading this doomed from the start!

Thanks for this link. Feel for the employees who were trying to do a good job, but the cards were stacked against them.

I guess that's why Nordstrom is coming to Canada very slowly. Opening a few stores at a time. Yorkdale is opening this fall. woo hoo!

SAP is a beast. It may have caused a few tears to be shed by yours truly over the years. Some data entry errors may never have been found in that program! Target's loss, Closeout King's gain, I guess. The front end staff there resort to old fashioned calculators instead of computer terminals.

Oops , didn't see this & created a new thread today, about it.

At this time last year, liquidations started and some stores prepared to close Mid March.
What a difference a year makes.

This is a really interesting article. A fascinating tale, really. I read this article too. I'm just waiting for Harvard to write a business case on the whole Canadian Target story.

April 2015. All Target Canada stores closed.

On the positive side, Brands Gone Wild, Closeout, Dollarama etc. still have Target merchandise for sale.
Brands Gone Wild Oshawa is closing their current location and moving to a new one in the same area.

Can't believe it's been a year since they closed!

Yes. You are right!
This week, last year, the last store closed.

Still sad! My neighbours son is having a baby...just thinking about all the baby stuff that would go on clearance and wishing I had bought some of it to have on hand for gifts. Dollar is a little better...may have to head stateside for some retail therapy!
