Target not coming to Brentwood Mall?
I've been hearing through the grape vine that Zellers will be closing down in 2013. It's also been said that Target will not be going in to replace the outgoing Zellers. Last year, Target Corp. purchased the leases of all Zellers locations across Canada and announced its intention to expand into Canada. The leases for space not taken up by Target will, according to Target, be sold to other US retailers.

thanks for the update, was actually looking forward for target to open though.
ReplyDeleteI guess we still have to go to Metrotown for some things. Since no official announcement has yet been made, anything can still happen.
DeleteAccording to the Brentwood Mall development proposal, the current Zellers building will no longer be the most westerly part of the main mall. Perhaps it will be torn down to make way for a new layout.
UPDATE: Now I'm beginning to hear that once all of the unionized employees are bought out of their "union status" Target" WILL end up in Brentwood Mall. If so, it will either involve a renovation or a complete teardown of the existing Zellers building, most likely the latter.
ReplyDeleteMajor development plans for Brentwood Mall which will take years to complete.
DeleteIn the meantime once Zellers closes the public will lose out on a nice restaurant,and washrooms on that end of the mall.
Now that the C.F.O of Sears has left.how long before Sears starts closing stores.
Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be
