TARGET UPDATE:  The Earth Needs More Big Boxes

 

Besides my Pavlovian response to anything Gucci and my inner compass dialed to LV, I also have an obsession with Target. My addiction to the chic big box store was cemented with regular stops during my Cleveland, Ohio days. I wonder if it will fuel the same fire once it’s in Canada?

Maybe that fire will be more like lava star power spewing from a style volcano. Target Toronto had Blake Lively and Sarah Jessica Parker out for a red carpet opening last month. But they must be saving the best for the west. Right?

Target is almost upon us, here in the wild rose province. I still can’t wrangle exact dates out of them, but they’re timing their Alberta ribbon cuttings with Earth Month. Last time I checked, it was just Earth Day on April 22, but if Target wants to extend our celebration of the planet, I am all for it. Look for the bull’s-eye coming in May to malls near you:

Calgary:  Chinook Centre, Forest Lawn Shopping Centre, Market Mall, Shoppes at Shawnessy

Edmonton:  Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Mill Woods Town Centre, West Edmonton Mall

Grande Prairie:  Prairie Mall

Red Deer:  Bower Place

Sherwood Park:  Sherwood Park Mall

St. Albert:  St. Albert Centre
