Target would rather build a new one at St. Clair and Weston instead, essentially serving the same area, just slightly over two kilometres away.
Not for people without cars! St Clair and Weston is hard to get to if you rely on the ttc and live down by the lake. (Like me.)
The location on Roncey was great because it only took a 10 minute street car ride, or the same amount of time on my bike.
I guess Target doesn't care about people in that demographic.
And maybe that is the crux of the matter. Perhaps big box retailers want to focus on people with cars, because they are perceived to be more of the 'consumer' mindset, more addicted to shopping, richer, etc.?
edit: except that Walmart doesn't discriminate. lol
