As a result of increased demand, Target has added nine store locations to its Canadian expansion list. With a majority of the new stores opening in Ontario, the additions bring the total number of Target stores slated for Canada to 133.
Since opening the first three Canadian locations in March 2013, Target has been focused on expanding its presence throughout the country. Each store will have approximately 150 employees, creating up to 1,300 jobs throughout Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, according to a company press release.
