Woot!
In more super awesome local news, Target also announced it will establish a Canadian headquarters in Mississauga. They’ve signed a deal for 180,000 square-feet of office space that will be occupied in early 2012. Hmm… perhaps I can apply for a job? How about chief buyer? Ha!
(Target plans to spend about $10 million on each store to renovate and remodel the former Zellers location before opening. Each store is expected to employ 150 to 200 people.)
I've never shopped at Target but I'm looking forward to this! No more dumpy Zellers!
LOVE me some Target! Yay for you guys!
Oh how I heart Tarjay, I just hope it's a true version of Target..not a watered down Canadian version :)
My only fear is like Tracy D said – a watered-down Canadian version. Please, please NO!
