Target is finally (finally!) coming to Canada!!! I'm a proud Canadian through and through but this is big news for a bargain hunter like me.
Target is buying 220 Zellers retail sites for $1.82 billion, and expects to open its first Canadian stores in two years with an expected 100 to 150 stores opening throughout Canada in 2013 and 2014. The expansion will create thousands of jobs in Canada and more importantly, bring joy and delight to Canadian women everywhere.
"We are very excited to bring our broad assortment of unique, high-quality merchandise at exceptional values, and our convenient shopping environment to Canadian guests coast to coast," said Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Target Corporation. Whatevs. Bring on the $19 bikinis, super cute notecards and discounted makeup.
RLR is seriously excited so please, don't be a hater. Pencil me in for a big fat shopping date in 2013, okay? Squeal!
