To me their biggest mistake was not opening a location downtown and capitalizing on the expense accounts of oil & gas... I would have bought dozens of boxes more had they been closer, but there was no way I was going to go out to Sunridge to pickup stuff. Nor was I going to the Petro Canada for KK....
Do Americans even bother doing research as to how local Canadian cities tick? Or do they just expect us to conform to their ways? I read that Target underestimated the Canadian tendency to go to multiple special purpose stores vs going to a "all in one" store. Having worked for US big business - it seemed that way all the time... which is also leading to their demise..
USA! USA! USA!
