I dont think so, their stock price just rose 3 points today due to the news that they would leave Canada.

I, for one, could care less for their so-called Target Exclusives as Toys R Us provided the figures adequately.
When walking through their isles there was never anything new or interesting.
If you walked through their store during Christmas hours it was bleak with hardly anyone in the store.
It's a shame the jobs will be lost but as a transformers fan, we're truly not missing much.
Someone says they were a great resource? I have to completely disagree.
If Walmart or toys r us did not have the item they stocked up within a couple of days. Target on the other hand would have the item but would be for $3-$5 more. I'm sorry but I can wait to save that money and put it towards groceries.
With Target their stock was so out dated and ridiculously priced I'd use their store to pick up baby clothes for my kid. (That aspect I will miss - great selection for baby merchandise)
Did we miss much.....yes for the job market but not for its merchandise.
That's pretty much it, right there. The stores were always barren. Like they'd get a shipment of stock, and for the next three months or more, that was what they had. As it sold out, they'd have less and less, with nothing more coming in to supplement what was sold. Numbers were not down because they couldn't sell things, numbers were down because after getting their initial stock, they had nothing left to sell in the months following. This is true of every Target I've visited out here which, let's be honest, is only like... five... but for such a problem to be consistent between five separate stores within a chain?megatronus wrote:Interesting commentary on the Target pull-out:

I wanted Target to do well, even if we do have other stores that carry their exclusive toys here in Canada, but I think whoever was calling the shots on this project really dropped the ball, and now a buncha people are gonna be out of work as a result.

Do we still?
After your mention of A3U, Toy Traders and Metropolis, I assure you we are indeed hitting the same shops.Editor wrote:CRAP! You're in Surrey? We could be hitting the same shops.
