I don't think people were flocking to KP just because it had a Target or has a Sears, neither one seems to have a lot of customers anyway. If it was a Walmart with all their thousands of customers a day, then I could see that having more of an impact on a mall.

As for access to the second floor of Sears at St. V, that shouldn't be too difficult. Just expand the mall into Sears and have stairs leading up from there. There are probably other solutions to that problem as well.

As for the suggestion of H&M to Sears in Polo Park, H&M would not fill an entire floor of Sears, it's too small. I'm not sure how Simons could fill up an entire floor either but apparently they do.

It's a real shame Target made so many mistakes, they should fire some corporate idiots and hire people who know what they are doing. Spending millions on new stores, like the one in Polo, was ridiculous. They should have just opened one in Northgate. Would have helped out the area and would have saved them a boatload of money and would have serviced the same area. Not too mention all their other mistakes. They should have only started off with a few stores and then expanded, not opened like 100 at around the same time. Another mistake imo was shutting down completely. They should have, could have, shut down some locations to cut costs, but shouldn't have just given up on Canada completely. I believe it was said that they would return to profitability in 5 years, so it was just a matter of time and they would turn things around. Now they just end up with a bunch of losses instead.
