The much-loved “cheap-chic” discount chain, Target Corp., referred to by fans as “Tar-Jay,” says it has Canada in its sights as part of a future international expansion plan.
Target said it would be at least three years before the international expansion plan takes place. In the meantime, the Minneapolis-based retailer said it would focus on updating its existing United States stores.
Like many U.S. retailers, Target is mulling a move outside its home market after sales and profits took a nosedive in the past year.

Just with a blowtorch, and old pieces of metal.

Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.

I LOOOOVE Target. Except I get a little annoyed lately with their clothing. They've been teaming up with designers and a lot of the clothes now just are office friendly!
I love Target for their basics! And their dresses are pretty good too. I just wish they’d do more patterns and styles rather than stick to blacks and browns *sigh*
That picture of the birds is absolutely adorable!!
THREE YRS?? What’s taking them so long?? Haha here’s to hoping you get Tarjay and Sephora sooner than later. 🙂
Oh my gosh, where it says "just with a blowtorch…" i thought that was about the piano building I was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool stuff!
do you guys really don't have target?? don't know what to do without mines!
Lol. The one about the female once-over is so true *sigh*
My favourite is the metal art – so creative.
Yay! for Target.
Amazing pics, FB. I loved the one with the metal carving. It's like lace.
It makes me want to own a shovel like that now. Not very practical, but very beautiful!
Three years before you get a Target? It seems a little unfair to tell you so far in advance! Target is my favorite discount store; I avoid Wal-mart at all costs (for a multitude of reasons).
I love the pictures you post. The metal art is amazing.
I do hope Target will come sooner than 3 years. Perhaps a year?
