In 3 years, Canada could get Target!!! + Lovely Pictures

The much-loved “cheap-chic” discount chain, Target Corp., referred to by fans as “Tar-Jay,” says it has Canada in its sights as part of a future international expansion plan.

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.

Like many U.S. retailers, Target is mulling a move outside its home market after sales and profits took a nosedive in the past year.

Three years before you get a Target? It seems a little unfair to tell you so far in advance! Target is my favorite discount store; I avoid Wal-mart at all costs (for a multitude of reasons).

I love the pictures you post. The metal art is amazing.

Yay! for Target.
Amazing pics, FB. I loved the one with the metal carving. It's like lace.

I do hope Target will come sooner than 3 years. Perhaps a year?

It makes me want to own a shovel like that now. Not very practical, but very beautiful!

Lol. The one about the female once-over is so true *sigh*
My favourite is the metal art – so creative.

I LOOOOVE Target. Except I get a little annoyed lately with their clothing. They've been teaming up with designers and a lot of the clothes now just are office friendly!

I love Target for their basics! And their dresses are pretty good too. I just wish they’d do more patterns and styles rather than stick to blacks and browns *sigh*
