Shoppers can expect their local Target Canada stores to begin knocking down prices today, after the retailer received court approval to begin liquidating its stock. The company received the go ahead following a hearing yesterday involving dozens of lawyers representing the retailer, landlords and suppliers. Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said stores across the country were prepared to launch a liquidation sale that would see discounts of up to 30 per cent off regular prices. In addition to its remaining inventory, Target’s shelving, fixtures and equipment will also be sold. The U.S.-based retailer announced last month that it would close all 133 of its Canadian stores and lay off more than 17,000 staff, just two years after it began opening stores in Canada. The company took over old Zellers locations and began to open under the Target banner in Canada for the first time in March 2013, but failed to deliver on customer expectations.
