Target has come to Canada. And yes it's true, where there was once a Zellers store, there is now a Target store.
So, we happily went to check it out. The parking lot was full. But there were no fist fights over parking spots. We walked in not knowing what to expect. Then, we began to realize that where things once sat on Zellers shelves, they now sat on Target shelves...in the same spot. The shelves were new, but looked the same. The white walls now red. The employees that wore red polo shirts, now wore red polo shirts. Scrreeeeech! Yup. We found that Canadian Target was a lot like Zellers. I'm not sure what we were all expecting in Canada. It makes you wonder about hype. Shoppers are complaining that the prices are higher. To be honest, I thought the pricing was reasonable. But, what do I know? I don't make it across the border ever.
So, to sum it up: *Mila* found a purse. I found packing tape. I'm happy to have the spot filled where we had Zellers. I miss Zellers and Walmart makes my head explode, so I've lived out my Zellers shopping at the local grocery stores in the interim. Thank goodness for Joe Fresh!
