People are talking of the end of Target stores here in Canada. Target came into Canada two years ago to take over the Zellers Store chain. Zellers inc had previously taken over the 300 stores of the oldest company in the world, the Canadian based Hudson’s Bay Company.

The 130 odd stores that target had when it failed are being protected from seizures by Bankruptcy.

Another Dollar store has been built in Merritt, and sources say may be opening soon.
