Target have not yet announced store closings and official liquidation has not started, but they have made some changes in stores. Stores are no longer price-matching and many stores are already saying items are final sale. Some forum users mentioned that staff have said gift cards will not be accepted after February 1st despite their original promise to accept gift cards through liquidation.
They have also closed Starbucks in all Target stores. If you love Starbucks mugs and other items, they have been moved into the store so watch for them once liquidation starts!
Thanks for the notices!
Go to change.org and sign the petition to Save Target Canada! There are 2 petitions, which are:
1. https://www.change.org/p/ceo-t…
2. https://www.change.org/p/targe…
Sign them both so that they will at least consider saving some stores, so that some jobs will be saved! If all stores close, 17,600 jobs will be lost directly, and a lot more (maybe 50,000?) will be lost by ripple-effects! Save Target Canada, save jobs!
Neither of the websites worked, Jeremy! Shame that all those jobs will be lost though.
They are bankrupt no stupid petition is going to keep the stores open
This press release from January 23, 2015, Target says that they will be accepting gift cards throughout the liquidation period. http://pressroom.target.ca/news/questions-answers
