The West Side Target, located at 3720 Soldano Blvd (in the Consumer Square Shopping Center off West Broad Street), will be closing their doors sometime in November. A part time employee tipped us off in a discussion about West Side redevelopment ideas on our messageboard, noting that the decision to close was made about a week ago. A call to the store this morning confirmed the November closure, though a final date is still unknown at this point.
Large retail centers have struggled to attract and retain tenants on the city’s west side over the past several decades, with the most notable example being the shuttered Westland Mall. Rumors of a Westland redevelopment, often referred to as “Weston” have circulated for nearly a decade, but concrete plans have failed to materialize.

It’s Ohio of course
With 20 to 30 to choose from, all you have to do is open up the ad filled online edition and hope to find a clue. Or ask appropriately hoping the poster will JPEG the hint and join the ranks of the normal and get a clue to in the future put the two letter state abbreviation in there
But of course. There’s always one nasty flamed in there piling on. Nothing better to do than open up every article and slam those who hope for order
May they all close.

Target’s entry into Canada was an absolute disaster. They started opening stores there in 2013, and soon expanded to 133 stores. Two years later, they closed them all, losing $4.5 Billion in the process.
Why???
