Their women's plus size dept. is crappy as well. Small selection, poor quality and just plain ugly. Recently I've noticed a marked decrease in quality and selection in a lot of their merchandise.Quote from: "Renee"
I don't know about in the US Renee, but they were planning on giving Wally World a run for their money in Canada. That will never happen unless they expand their floor space and product lines. I don't get their popularity at all.

Target in the US tried to position themselves as a more up-scale alternative to Wal-Mart but their merchandise wasn't really any better. So that idea never really caught on. Target is like the old Caldor's and Bradlees stores that were common back east in the 1970s and 80s. They too went out of business in the same way that target seems to be headed.
Target will never be able to compete with Wal-Mart for all the reasons you already mentioned plus a few more. Furthermore to be perfectly honest big fat Americans like me love Wal-Mart because their superstores are a one shop stop. We can buy our tent like graphic tees, gigantic underwear, DVDs, and plus fill up on frozen pizza, white bread, mayonnaise, potato chips ice cream, fruit loops and cheese whiz. What's not to love? It's a western woman's dream come true.

They do have everything under one roof. There's a newer one near my house that has a lube shop, Mickey D's, Tim Horton's, a Vietnamese nail salon, photo shop and right now an H&R Block. Target has none of that.

Yeah as much as I truly dislike Wal-Mart and their business practices, it is very convenient. There is a reason why they are as successful as they are.

Exactly Renee, I wasn't trying to get into whether one likes Wally World or not, but I can understand their appeal. With Target, I just don't get it?

Don't have the link, but recently read that Canada division lost a pile last year and predictions were that it will not be here much longer. Crappy options etc. being causeQuote from: "cc li tarte"
Yep, I read that Target Canada had a poor year. However, I didn't hear anything about them pulling the pin on their Canadian stores? Wouldn't hurt my feelings any if they did though.

They have a frozen food section with low prices..
But it is not enough to take me away from being a return Walmart shopper..
Like Renee wrote, Walmart has everything a family needs in one stop and with very good prices as well.

It'll be interesting to see if they continue expansion plans in Canada or as CC said start to retreat. The store I was in did not look very busy.

They are Frosty? Just from checking a few things in different departments, I found their prices quite cheap actually. Like you said, every dept is missing basic items from clothing to footwear to food to sporting goods to seasonal. Not much selection to choose from.
That escalator for carts is kinda cool though.

No, it's an escalator for carts right beside the people escalator. You put your cart on it, take the regular escalator up and then pick up your cart at the next floor.

Here you can get some good deals, but on the most part they don't have what you need, or higher priced.
They have great sale prices, but usually not on stuff I need.

Up until a week ago it was brutal here in the Czuk, but it finally warmed up a bit. We'll get a few more good blasts of winter's wrath yet though, that's guaranteed.
