Target leaving Canada!

[fanofearl]

Just read this article:
http://www.thisbirdsday.com/target-canada-liquidation/

I just read this as well on the Save Target Canada Facebook page. I thought it was well written and provided a good perspective on the liquidation issue. It certainly was one that people may not immediately realize.

I was in St Catharines Pen Centre Target today for the first time since the liquidation was announced. There was a lot of complaining going on, it must be very demoralizing for the employees. The cashier who rang in my greetings cards (30% off including the Valentines cards, and still a very good selection), was so friendly that I wanted to report the good deal on the cards, but give him a shout out as well. I'm really going to miss Target Canada and their great staff.

I was on my way to Central City Target but got lost in conversation and ended up at Scottsdale. Toys are still fully stocked with the exception of Lego. All the smaller sets are gone and the ones left are the really expensive ones. There's also nothing left for Playdough, no really cheap Fisher Price toys either.

My son helped me find some clearance girls baby clothes but a person working said that the sale was off the original price. But she was wrong! They both reduced even further at the till

The lines were long but they sure moved fast! I was out within 5 minutes of getting in line. I was definitely disappointed because like some other have said, the prices have gone up to before clearance prices and with 10% off most items, it's not worth it.

Not seeing anything great here.. I honestly prefer to pay more at WM then to stand in a line for hrs on end.. Sorry but 5% off an Ipod is quite silly, heck they are cheaper at Bestbuy when they go on sale... Sure there might be some good deals but 20% doesn't justify the hr wait in line..

Stopped by one Target in Brampton around 5pm and there were no long lines. Checked out fairly quickly.

Little tikes 4 in 1 trike reg $88.99 ($109.99 at sears so NO Target wasnt always more expensive) got it for $24.02!!!!

Ahh! Awesome deal! I was at the Chilliwack Target today, saw the trike and debated about scanning it, but I didn't. GRR, I should have! Hubby is going to Chilliwack tomorrow, maybe I'll make him go in and scan it to see. But it might be gone already too….sigh

I scored some good deals today, I'll try to take a pic later and post about it. Most of my toys had clearance stickers and then the additional 20% on top of that price so I was super happy!

They are removing all signs that say xx% off lowest ticketed price and replacing them all with xx% off ORIGINAL price.

An hour? I have yet to wait in line for more that 8-10 minutes in all the 7 stores I have made purchases at in the last 5 days.

(Wow, when I see it in black and white, I really think I may have a problem, LOL)

I did 5 in one day after they announced the closing. There must be some sort of support group. :D

I think my best was 4 in one day, so yeah I am not as bad as you
And I didn't blow off work early today to meet up at Target either (*cough*meeeks*cough*)
But I may or may not have missed my ferry and spent 4+ hours in the store instead. LOL

We ARE our own support. LOL! I think its called BC Target Enablers United

I was totally trying to stay out of this one... But you brought me in it lol... 3 for me in one day. Total enablers you guys. I need help... I have a section in my house called "Target Toy Department". At this rate, i can open up my own Target.

Target bought the leases to Zellers stores from Hudson’s Bay Company for $1.825 billion in 2011, but did not keep the employees.

An estimated 27,000 people lost their jobs at Zellers as a result.

Didn't know so many worked for Zellers , now 17,600 Target employees are laid off ..wonder how many are former Zellers employees.

I feel much better about my two-a-day habit, LOL!

My game plan for Monday is the Up&Up rounds, at this rate my home will be a living shrine to Target ❤️

PS Anyone complaining about the "5-20%" discounts is doing it wrong... And totally missed the boat, as we all know!!

Buying leases had nothing to do with keeping the previous tenant's employees. When a company (HBC in this case) decides to shut down they don't ever approach the next tenants on that property to hand jobs to the previous tenant's employees.
