As far as I know, Target has a higher income demographic they appeal to, they are definitely not like K-mart. When I drove through Northern California, I stopped at one to get some socks or something, and was amazed at the size of their incredible sweat pant selection.

Target better have aggressive US style prices at US dollar prices (as long as our currency stays strong).

Less than you think. At Zellers, even the poor folk can do it.

Why would they? Buying decent used clothes makes more sense than buying crap clothes at Wal-Mart

If Zellers was properly organized, had price tags on everything, had modern checkouts, properly stocked and had decent better quality products.

As long as Target brings to Canada those One-Gallon jugs of Arizona iced green tea that cost $1.20, they could take over the country for all I care.

Everyone needs a vice. Mine is a trunkful of Arizona a couple times a year. I'm surprised it isn't being sold in IV form yet.
