So rumour has it ( ) that Target is looking into the space that is currently occupied by Extra Foods and also the space that is right next to The Source. Anyone hear anything like this?
Also heard a rumour that Shoppers Drug Mart may move into the spot held by Extra Foods and finally move out of that space on 3rd Avenue.

“Target said it would be at least three years before the international expansion plan takes place. In the meantime, the Minneapolis-based retailer said it would focus on updating its existing United States stores.”
So unless Alaska grabs us up in a fire sale, we’re not a target for Target.
There was a Target store in St. John’s when I lived there.
I don’t know if it was related to the American chain or not, but it was full of cheap crap, though without the crappiness that usually goes along with cheap crap. Ie.: nobody shouting in a shrill voice on the PA system, or super bright lights that force you to squint.
So basically an upscale Wal-Mart. I think I bought a jacket there once. It was cheap.
I don’t remember ever seeing target anywhere else in Canada, but they are all over the place south of the border.
