I remember Target's attempt at cracking the Canadian market. It lasted 3 years, because they figured we were sucker's for anything American. in a way we are, but they took it too far. a winning combo for Target when they return next year is, open a sit down restaurant in them. Sell cheap, good meals. Also, get the license to sell beer and wine. You will CRUSH Walmart if you do this.
