anyone else keeping an eye on the prices of Dyson's? at what % off does it need to be to better than a regular boxing day/ black friday sale? 40%?

I need a DC61!

nope, but if you really wanted you can get one on ebay like the dc62's (that supposedly fits) for $60 Dyson DC59 DC61 and DC62 Animal Handheld Purple Wand Assembly 965663 05 | eBay there are ones available for $30 too but they don't list support

Is this a deja vu with zellers? :confused:

only because they took over a failing company but didn't do anything with it except added more lights and threw their branding over the stores http://ehealthwoman.com/apple/images/42.gifhttp://ehealthwoman.com/apple/images/49.gif

That's totally untrue ... they retained NO part of Zellers except real estate, which was gutted and rebuilt at a cost of $15-20m+ per location.

They didn't absorb any of Zellers' distribution or logistics arms... they didn't retain any of Zellers' staff.... their vendor relationships, etc... It was a completely fresh launch. Target's failings in Canada were strictly their own.

that was a bot that parrots posts that you quoted

it was a parroting of my comment on the first page though
and what i meant by it is they have the same model as Zellers, and Zellers was failing, but Target took that over...doing the same thing Zellers did (offering cheap goods and offering all types of goods) except target glitzed the stores up

We have bots here now? Where have I been that I hadn't noticed!

Thanks for the heads-up.

I know for a fact that they retained some of Zeller's staff. Not all, but many existing Zeller's employees were offered to stay on for when Target moved in.

Everything else, not so much.

Went there over the weekends cards are on sale.... not much left tho.

I was familiar with the HR and recruiting process. It's entirely possible that former Zellers employees were hired after going through the interview process but none were "retained" or "absorbed" by Target. Target did not buy Zellers. They bought their property leases and HBC then initiated a liquidation process of their Zellers stores to vacate those same properties by a mutually agreed date.

Target recruited aggressively and likely struggled to find the people capital necessary in the timelines that were required to get all of their boxes operational with the level of leadership that was needed.

Bump. No one keeping tabs on the price of Dyson's? I'm looking for the dc59 or dc62. Metrotown has no more Dyson's, and home outfitters is 10% off right now.

If you happen to see Dyson's at target, let me know the location

yep and Lowes are taking some stores as well

Richmond lansdowne mall location, looks like they are going to break it into smaller shops.

and who are gonna be the tenants? all lansedowne has other than the big box stores (minus futureshop) and restaurants are cellphone kiosks, a giant store for floor mats, dollar store and clothing shops for women in their 50s

this is something oakridge center could benefit more..open up and divide where zellers used to be.. thats a huge 2 floor space

they say walmart bought the central city surrey location, which is strange to me because they already have a location in guildford :confused:

indoor year long night market at lansdowne target :badpokerface:

:troll:

Isn't there one on 88th too?

Yup. I'm 2 minutes from central city and 5 minutes to the Walmart on 88.

walmart confirmed at central city:

Coquitlam Centre is going to have a Wal-Mart, the deal is in place.

I'm 20mins walk from walmart on Guilford and Central City. This will be interesting!

How so? They all sell the same shit lol
