From what I have heard, Target will not be content with slapping their name on the old Zellers locations (like Walmart did with Woolco in the 90s). There will be major construction/demolition/rebuilding of the sites.

Too bad it isn't a bona fide "urban" Target, but it sounds interesting.

This means Zellers diners will probably be replaced with a small Starbucks store sadly. During my student days the breakfasts at the Zellers diners was the best deal around!!!

While I think you're correct that the Zellers diner as we know it is not long for this world, the Target stores I've visited in the States have had a wide variety of food vendors, including some store branded hot dog and burger stands, Pizza Hut/Taco Bell, etc. I don't believe it's automatically a Starbucks.

Interesting. I wonder what will happen to Zellers' offices and distribution centre in Brampton. That complex (Queen/Torbram) was second hand from K-Mart.
I remember when Zellers took over Towers, they pretty much slapped their name on those, and K-Mart in the late 1990s. I only fondly remember K-Mart because my first "job" was a few rounds of collecting shopping carts and taking them back to the Shoppers World store for a few bucks apiece.

As a point of interest, Oxford is now subtitling Zellers as Target 2013 on their Square One leasing page.

I don't think that was part of the purchase. Target's snazzy new HQ is on Explorer Dr. in Mississauga - just waiting for people to move in.

This is the list of Ontario stores..
HOWEVER, it turns out that not all of the 84 new locations announced today will become Targets. Some will be sold-off so the list ends up being pointless?

I assume this is the second-wave of conversions (after the previously-announced ones)?
Northern Light
Superstar
According the The Star article...
Only 29/84 leases will be converted to Target.
39 will be Walmart, with the others being sold/leased to other retailers and/or bought out the landlord.
By my math that's 16 stores which don't yet have an identity.
*****
Also of note; SOBEYS will be the lead grocery supplier to Target.

Bit of a surprised Target didn't pick up the Gerrard Square spot.

Me too. Proximity to gentrified and gentrifying neighbourhoods. But Target did take Shoppers World on the Danforth, which isn't that far a drive away.
