| - And now, the end is near,
As Zellers faces the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
They'll liquidate, of which I'm certain
They've been, in Chinook still
And overcharged, in their own market
And more, much more than this, will soon come Taaaaarget
Good prices, they had a few,
But then again, too few to mention
And fought for clients few, lost to Wal Mart without exemption
They needed a big big change, and Target came to join in the fray,
And offered, a better choice, will send me their way
(apologies to ol' Blue Eyes)
It's near the end for this outlet in Chinook Centre. Eternally stuck in the 80s and needing a much wanted renovation, it's liquidating now so Target can come around, spruce up the place and give Wal Mart a run for its money.
In some ways, it's a bit sad it's closing, but in all honesty, they really didn't compete very well against Wal Mart, or Superstore or Costco and so on. And so it's gone, and a prime place will go to a far more interesting retailer.
They're right now advertising at 30-50% off, but a lot of stuff is still marked 10% off only. Selection is still not bad or so so, but everything is final sale obviously. Outside of that, line ups are not bad but service there is about as good or worse as it was before the announced closing. Best way to approach Zellers is from 5th St SW parking, as the lots there are usually plentiful with spaces.
Bye Zellers... and welcome Target! Come quick!
