| - I was very excited to hear that Target would be opening at Alexis Nihon at the beginning of November. With the closing of Zellers, downtown Montreal was lacking a lower end department store, a place to go to stock up on this and that. Don't get me wrong, I much prefer supporting smaller businesses closer to my home, but sometimes the big box stores fill certain needs. After visiting other Target's both here in Quebec and in the US, I knew what to expect. And while overall this is a-ok, I found the layout a little confusing. Somehow things just weren't in the places I expected them, right down to the fact that most customers entering the store walked through the checkout lines rather than the designated entrance . . . myself included. Within the store as well, I found myself circling around and around, because I somehow missed something I was looking for. And what's up with the chocolate and candy being way in the back near the bathrooms? I heard several other people comment on this. Same thing with the magazines, instead of being right in the front the near the cashes, there's a wall of magazines in the back of the store near the electronics. I keep telling myself there must be a reason. So organizational issues aside, it's a Target, it's downtown, it's metro accessible, and I'm glad it's there.
