Local management at the Zellers in the mall can't confirm the store is becoming a Target store and our CHSJ Newsroom has placed a call to Zellers head office in Toronto for confirmation.
A media report says Target will have 105 stores in Canada opening in 2013.
The Target Canada stores expect to hire 75 per cent more staff as they expect sales will be substantially higher.
Target also announcing it will open its Canadian headquarters in 180,000 square-feet of space in Mississauga, Ontario and the Canadian leadership team is moving this summer.
Back in January, the company announcing that Target was buying Zellers leases in Canada for 1.8 billion dollars.
