Target Loses $$$ in Canada

Target arrived with much fanfare, but it appears that perhaps they didn't properly do their research of the Canadian market and have experienced losses. I had heard about the great prices in the States and was dubious as to whether those savings would cross the border. I haven't shopped much at Target, but when did, I noticed some prices far above the Canadian stores I frequented. Maybe things have now changed?

Yeah, there was a lot of hype about the opening of Target here in Kelowna!!

I found their prices to be pretty steep, apart from a few select items which were competitively priced. I hope they have settled into the environment now, with better pricing that suits the Canadian customer's pocket.
