For me, Target's biggest problem wasn't that they bought all Zellers locations in one shot. The problem was that after closing all the stores for hundreds of millions in renovations, what they re-opened was...

....Zellers. Same crappy merchandise selection, same empty shelves, same depressing atmosphere, same inability to compete with Walmart on price. Even the same colour scheme. They would have been better off simply buying Zellers and not making a singe change. Their front end operations was a poorly realized as their back end.
