Target pics
Ready, set, go...
Here's two pics of the future Target location. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8105/8...9e0f606ee6.jpg This is just me playing with the panorama feature. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8262/8...d9c1d32322.jpg Cheers, -porchmouse |
They're on the move! :cheers:
I don't really care for the Walmart expansion, what I want to witness is the race between Moncton, SJ, Bayers Lake and MicMac. I don't know where Freddy is at this point. Moncton has some catch up to do... I have a feeling MicMac will be the first Target in the Maritimes. |
Fences are all up around the back side of "Target" in Charlottetown too. From the news on the recent Target openings, I'm really not expecting much from them.
|
The Target in Mic Mac will be opening in August, and it's been under construction since December. Though, it's much larger than most Targets and it's two floors so it may take longer than the standard store.

All of the stores are being completely gutted. Some do need more work than other though, like major roof repairs. We've all been to a leaky Zellers. Fredericton and Moncton will likely open at the same time, with Saint John opening about a month before.

Not sure about other locations but the Fredericton store is about 110k sqft.

MicMac might just be the largest in the Maritimes, but the former Zellers at Bayers Lake was quite large, but not sure how big. |

Couple of thoughts.....
I noticed that the Wal-Mart lolcation in Champlain Place is looking really long in the tooth, especially on the outside, paint peeling, broken stones. I am surprised that CF would allow the building to go this way, especially after spending 14 million on the inside. The other is the former Tag Location, Would this be a good fit for the Bay ? |

#2 - As NBNYer pointed out, the (former) Tag location is way too small for a Bay, and would be more suited to a mid sized retailer like JYSK, Home Outfitters or Best Buy. It is interesting to note that I checked out the Tag website on the weekend and there was no mention of bankruptcy on the site. Perhaps they are trying to keep it under wraps for now..... |
Was aslo curious about Tag, their facebook page is also still there and there's no official mention of closing. There's also recent comment that looks like not all of the stores have closed at March 31. Not getting my hopes up here but...
Also went on Mapleton Center web page and its still listed as opening in 2013. What I found that I think is new here, is that they list Ashley Furniture as opening in 2013 in that document: http://www.mapletonretail.com/downlo...leton_ICSC.PDF |

It lists three openings so far for 2013: - Tag - Banana Republic - Ashley Furniture There had been a rumour regarding Ashley brought up on the forum a number of months ago, but this seems to be the most concrete evidence yet. I wonder if it will go next to BB&B, it's one of the few storefronts without a "for lease" sign on it. Also, the location of Banana Republic has been confirmed. It will open next to Carter's/Osh Kosh. I wonder if the predictions of the demise of the entire Tag chain are premature? The only store in the chain that I know is closing for sure is their London store..... |
Ashley Furniture could be a nice addition to the market, they make quality pieces. However, they closed down in Halifax, what was that about? Was it just not doing well in Halifax? Nonetheless, I think it could fit well in the Tag building.
