Oh yeah, and I'll be working at the Chinook location. I hope I'm scheduled on the day we open, just so I can see if there's a lineup or not.

Zellers was owned by HBC which is owned by an American company anyway. I don't see any boycotts happening. Nobody boycotted Wal-Mart when they took over Woolco, or at least I don't remember that happening. Most people were excited.
Unless Target really has American pricing, or at least tries to quickly steal the customer base away from Wal-Mart/Loblaws by undercutting the Canadian status quo on pricing, I don't really see them being a big attraction outside of the first curiosity seekers or for those for whom the locations are convenient.
