I feel it doesn't matter what chain is owned by who.  U.S. products are always mirrored by Canadian demand and regulated in most cases by U.S. companies.  i.e. Hasbro Canada is regulated by Hasbro Inc. (a U.S. company) Hasbro Canada is only a branch and has to follow corporate policies handed down by Hasbro U.S. Meaning Hasbro is American.  GM & Ford are U.S. companies.  So when it comes to Canadian or U.S. my only concern is that we get equal employment oppurtunities and the same quality and variety of products.
 
In the case of Zellers/Target: Target carries GIjoe and Joe exclusives, Zellers does not.
We can also thank our government for the lack of GIJoe variety due to their bilingual packaging policies that create higher production costs.  Hence also the lack of mini comics in earlier waves.  First run production always goes to the States.  Larger market, more demand.

Digging up an old post. 

From my line of work, i hear things through the grapevine.  Target and another American home building outfit (Lowe's I think) are undertaking due diligence work on properties in the Toronto area.  It's just a matter of time before these pop up and further adding to the list of butt ugly big box stores.   

And Samco is looking for another warehouse.

Woohoo! (on the Samco thing)

The location where Sanko is interested suggests a relocation.  Doesn't make sence to have two in the same area.

Without giving too much away, North or South location? And in which direction is that location looking to move?

Downtown is a cast iron bitch to find and has no parking. On the plus side it made it so that fewer people went there to raid the joes.

The one where there is no parking.
