The retailer to book a massive $5.4 billion charge in the fourth quarter to reflect the loss from the investment.
Target said Thursday it will exit the Canada market, a recent expansion that has resulted in billions of losses and a move that will lead the retailer to book a massive $5.4 billion charge in the fourth quarter to reflect the loss from the investment.
The exit from Canada comes after Target TGT 2.93% moved aggressively to open over a hundred stores quickly in the market, but was criticized almost immediately for doing a poor job of replicating its American shopping experience. Though sales have been rising, the division remained deeply unprofitable.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I think that too many department stores are a bad move. Opening 100 stores is just asking for losses. It's better to have just a few and e-tail to cover the globe.
