RE: BREAKING: Sears closing 150 stores & selling the Craftsman brand for nearly $1 billion to Stanley Black & Decker!
And here in Canada we had Target. For a little while anyway.
It lasted less than two years, and ended about two years ago:

That's because target thought they could buy all the ghetto Zellers stores and revamp them into Target. But they forgot Canadians already new what to expect from the U.S chain. I once went back to Canada on a visit and new immediately the stores would fail. You could tell they just slapped everything together.
Step foot once in a Target in Canada (never in the U.S.), bought some things, and thought it felt wide and empty (specifically of people shopping).
