I know this made the news a couple days ago, but in case you missed it here is the coverage. Target to close all its operating stores across Canada:

While I did not shop much for toys at Target, my wife and I find their maternity clothes section to be very good. I very rarely made my groceries there, and I only bought one Target toy exclusive ONCE and that was a gift for my nephew. Prices were okay, but not good enough to justify the driving to over there and making it my main shopping destination. Target opened its first store in Canada in 2013...

I went to one of the grand openings (one of the early ones in Canada) and it was hilarious how little stock was on the shelves. We went back about once a week (we used to hit the Starbucks there on lunch break) and it took about 6 months for the store to feel properly stocked. We would go to the kitchen appliances section each week (my friend was re-populating his kitchen after a breakup) and the selection was horrible for so long. It was really a waste of time for people to go there only to find nothing they wanted. They spent a fortune remodeling a bunch of the stores out here in malls. No idea what's gonna take their places after we lost Woodwards, Eatons, Woolcos, & Zellers with Sears and Best Buy circling the drain. Probably something to cater to the Chinese population like T&T Supermarket.

Target had a great toy section and when they had a sale it could be awesome. 2 weeks ago I bought a bunch of "How to Train your Dragon" toys to store in the closet for when my son gets invited to birthday parties.

kinda sloppy on Target to misread the whole situation. Sad part is that's a store with a decent toy section gone.
