Our target closed and became a kmart which is so much better. I dont miss target at all.

Always shop in both stores – K-Mart do some things well and Target do others well or better. If our Target goes I will sorry to see it go as K-Mart doesn’t offer me what Target does, so I will have to find another store out of the group bubble. Probably have to go to Adairs, or House or back to Myers.

I’m not surprised they have become too expensive and the range too small

My local target is becoming a Kmart. I must admit, I do shop at Kmart more regularly so it will be nice to have one closer to home but I will definitely miss our local target. I love their kids clothes

I’m so sad to hear this. We’ve just moved to a place where we have a Target and KMart, no Big W so I wonder what this will mean.

I am not surprise as we do not shopping at target like before.

So disappointing I feel just so CEO can get more money
Target is great especially the target essentials clothing and under wear

It’s a shame this is going to happen but I think we’ll find that there will be a lot of other stores closing too. Prices have gone up quite a bit. I usually shop at Target but not willing to drive 2 hours so I do mine online. Will be sorry to see it go.

that really is a shame as I find Target products especially clothing, so much for reliable and higher quality than k-mart. I much prefer and always have supported Target so I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that my local doesn’t shut!

In this retail climate, it doesn’t surprise me, but I am disappointed because Target have better quality and more variety than KMart …. plus they are closer to me, so more convenient ….

They were taking up too.much space and the world is getting very competitive I am sure there be few more culls

Their clothes Ade better but maybe it will up the quality of Kmart…same same tho really. Maybe some good specials will be found to get rid of stock

  Yes, could well be

No this news doesn’t surprise me really; in the end the public decides by their shopping habits.

Shocked and disappointed with this news, as much as we all love to go to Kmart, it’s nice to have the option to go to Target for better quality items, and not to mention brands. Sometimes change sucks!

We lost our country Target about 12 months ago and others in the area closed prior to ours so no surprise really. Our nearest big Kmart is a distance away and I’ve always shopped online with them if we haven’t travelled to the actual store for a while and never had a problem with items or delivery. I love Kmart stuff over Target anyway and our country Target had been slowly getting rid of certain items over the years and completely ditched their toy stock a long time before news came out about the closure. Feel sorry for those who will lose their jobs epecially in this economic climate.

I hope they offer the range that target has at kmart. It’s nice to have choice of more quality items when needed.

I have both nearby and I like having the choice! Yes, Kmart is cheaper but Target have some great stuff (ie the ladies Preview clothes – especially the cocktail dresses). Yes, I prefer Kmart but it would be a shame to see my local Target go

Really sad to hear. They have amazing quality items

We have a target in our little town that I would hate to see shut down as it creates jobs in our town so if it concerts that’s fine by me.

I think target is more exxy than Kmart???
Also, there isn’t one close to me so it doesn’t affect me. If I want something from target I usually just shop online.
I like Kmart better any way.
