On Target

I was recently invited to a Hamilton Target store, 24 hours before the opening. There’s so much buzz about new location that I was stopped in the parking lot by an eager customer, wanting to know when she could shop.
The store is gorgeous, clean and seemingly easy to navigate. The style for decor and fashion is simple and classic. That should make it easy for customers to say yes to a purchase. Like many mass market stores of recent, the grocery aisles are impressive. If you think bigger is better, then you will like new Target at The Centre on Barton.
Many bloggers have been talking about the exclusive merchandising partnerships tagged as being local/Canadian, from Michael Bublé for his latest album, Foxy Originals for a jewelry line, and more. So imagine my surprise when I see Ti-Cat merch, including hats and jerseys. I was pretty excited for my hometown team (I’m a season ticket holder). That was until I contacted the Ti-Cats to ask about the partnership. Unfortunately, that’s a CFL deal, not a local one. (But I guess since the Canadian Football League is Canadian, that’s local for Target.) So I will continue to buy my gold and black garb from the Tigertown store on Jarvis Street in Hamilton.
