CALGARY – We’re getting our first look at the city’s first-ever Target stores.
The American retail chain is opening three Calgary locations on Tuesday, but gave members of the media a behind-the-scenes tour the day before.
The first three Calgary locations will open at 8 a.m. on May 7th at Chinook Centre, Market Mall and the Forest Lawn Shopping Centre. Seven other locations will open throughout Alberta the same day.
A fourth Calgary location will then open at the Shoppes at Shawnessy on May 14th.
The discount department store will compete with the likes of Walmart and Canadian Tire, and with their brand promise to “Expect more. Pay less,” some have speculated the issue of pricing to be one of concern for existing retailers.
Target plans to open 124 stores across Canada throughout 2013.
