So why would Target which recently bought out HBC and it’s affiliated stores, surrender territory to Wal Mart. This makes no sense, while we probably won’t see Target here, I can’t see them letting the market get away even from the Zellers brand.
Honestly, you should change employers, with your sense of the future, you should be with the provincial government, I see from a separate thread on the board, Pat Bell says it’s going to be Jobs, Jobs, you sound like his kind of lackey.

The problem is you should have just said in your first post… “My friend is working to make XYZ happen.” Instead, you again post rumor as “fact”. This has led to you have less than zero believability around here.
zellers was having a huge sale last month, they were getting rid of zellers products for target goods, haven’t heard if they were going to get rid of those for walmart goods, but according to the business papers last round of who gets what and who gets shutdown from the sale of zellers leases to target, and the ones target sold to walmart, should be either in August or September for the business section of the globe say early fall. and yes the rumour is walmart getting our zellers outlet but that is yet to be seen, but a contractor I know of has said he was asked to bid on renovating upstairs of the mall, for a retailer was looking at 40,000 sq feet of space, the intent was to move mark’s and reitmans downstairs

I figured you must be spending time with tommy chong…
Good Lord, doesn’t anyone read the business section of the newspapers?
Target DID sell some Zellers locations to WalMart, but they aren’t going to be WalMarts.
And ask anyone who works at one how much they enjoy 2 or 3 days a week, or just enough to NOT qualify for benefits before you think WalMart would save your ass. Get off it and find a real one.
Just came back from a mine where I saw more 20-30 year olds working for good money than I have seen in any one place since the 70s.
Let us suspend disbelief for one moment and assume you’re correct, ajaye46. Hell Mart is indeed coming to Prince Rupert. Is your golf buddy going to be happy that you’ve informed everyone about a pending secret business deal? Call me crazy, but, I think most entrepreneurs like to announce things like this themselves.
WalMart will never come to Prince Rupert. Why would they when you can drive 90 miles to one. We don’t have the population to support it even with the outlying areas. We don’t have the population to support anything right now. Zellers may become something else but it will be a low end type store I’m sure. Then again why would any business want to go into that mall, its one of the ugliest that I’ve ever been in.
pretty sure it wouldnt be walmart . they have a sub par store brand similar to fields i can see that coming. i just remember the franshise name right now
they are going to be doing something, because the Manager has left or is leaving and headoffice isn’t bringing in a new one, they are just going to be rotating managers from other stores once a month and the senior employees say that come September/October they maybe laid off for about 8 months for renovations and probably to get rid of some employees, that should have been gone along time ago!
I know this sounds crazy, but I heard from a fairly reliable source that this is actually happening at the Zellers location in the mall (with Reitmans/Marks moving else where in the mall to accomodate an expansion).
I can’t say where I heard this, but I am not just blowing smoke…the person who told me this is usually in the know.
Ajaye for once, might actually be right on the money…who would have thunk it!
I’m sure there are more as well, there usually is maybe ajaye and friends can take all their millions and become angel investors in the community - rather than promote the big box store crap.
I sure hope the city sent these companies a letter, expressing their support.
Perhaps community futures or tricorp could get involved somehow, they help access funds for start-ups. It is my understanding than buying into a franchise can get quite expensive.
(btw - Prince Rupert has been on A&W’s list for a while)
Had a Spicy Mama on the way to Prince George yesterday. Wow, you could almost taste it. About 0.2 on the Scoville scale.
Anyone else notice when they show ads of a hand holding a burger that it must be the hand of a four year old airbrushed to look like an adult?
