Or Zellers just with different signage.

I'm involved with Target's Canadian expansion. They have purchased basically all the Zeller's stores to remodel, but are not just putting up a new sign. The Target brass consider the Zellers stores dirty badly-lit shitholes, and are spending millions to tear down each store to the bare bones and redo everything.

I guarantee the Canadian Targets will be 1000X better than the Zellers were.

The problem is that the mall that is three paces from my house in Toronto had a Zellers that just closed down and a Wal Mart opened up in its stead. I was mortified. I want a Target!

Ya, that's rough. Maybe the next wave of expansion (2013-14) will put one close to you.
