Target

[TOareaFan]

Interesting choices.. I'm surprised they choose Shoppers World Brampton over Bramalea (a more mainstream choice I would've thought).

Any idea on when the remaining stores will open up?

BCC now on list

Thanks for the link..

Also good to see the Target sign up on the corporate offices when you're on the 401 (near the airport).. I think that's the first place to officially have the logo up in Canada right?

Target has paid off Target Apparel/Fairweather to stop using the Target name and a similar logo.

Guess that goes to show you Target really just wants to concentrate on a good clean start-up here.. The court case would've dragged out well into next year.. this way there's way less 'politics' upon opening. Good for them.

Target still has the option to elect on Sheridan Mall, Westdale Mall and Erin Mills TC in Mississauga. The Erin Mills is a sure thing, it's just a question of when they'll convert the Zellers, and so it might be a fall 2013 opening.

Westdale is utterly dead - the Metro is gone, ditto Zellers. It's probably a prime site along Dundas St. W for complete redevelopment. Condos, anyone?

AoD

EDIT: Zellers is apparently still around - with a semi-burnt out sign.

 

[ShonTron]

Zellers already vacated Westdale?

Wow, the Westdale Mall website is bad.

http://www.westdale-mall.com/

"Welcome to Wedale (sic) Mall Website" - the directory still lists Blockbuster as a tenant.

 

[Dan416]

I never even heard of this mall before...

 

[Johnny Au]

No one mentioned about Target coming to Lawrence Square? To be fair, I believe that Target would be coming to the Lawrence Square area if there is some major renovations (the Zellers there has two storeys and has a mall connection).

 

[airplane-dude]

Apparently, 39 Zellers locations will be converted to Walmarts - this year. I seem to remember something about this but hadn't heard of the number of stores or locations.. Here are the Ontario stores:

• Gerrard Square Toronto
• Sheridan Mall Toronto
• Cedarbrae Mall Toronto
• Stanley Park Kitchener

Barmpton gets 3.
Richmond Hill 0, Vaughan 0, Markham 0?
One in Aurora and one in Newmarket but that's it for all of York region.
What about Peel region makes it a better market than York region?

Except for the Zellers at Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill, there are no other Zellers stores for Target to convert in York Region. Would not be surprised at all to see newly built Target stores in York sometime after the initial 2013 roll-out ...

Both Aurora & Newmarket will get a Target through the conversion of former Zelllers spaces (so not just R.Hill). The only markets that will most likely get new build space are Vaughan and Markham (and in both markets Target has already appeared on several site plans, although nothing confirmed).
