Our local Target closed down. I didnt visit it and so dont miss it.

I must admit I don’t visit my local one much anymore.

I am not surprised that Target is closing. Everytime I go in to my local Target stores I see more staff than customer.

I don’t like to buy clothes without trying them first so all of these stores that are closing will just lose my business. They are adjusting with the times though so it is what it is.

With people buying online more and .more, more of these big stores will be closing there doors.

I really hope Launceston keeps at least one of our two – there are so few affordable places to buy kids clothing and Kmart is so poor on quality. Target is still more affordable but higher quality and better designs.

I would be sorry if our Target closed down – best place for shoes and clothes. I could buy homewares on line but clothing and shows never – I have to try on at least 4 sizes of the same article to get one to fit – no way am I going to try online – did it once and had to send the articles back for another size three times.

Target clothes are more quality than the other stores.

Oh no, I love Target. I’d be so sad if ours closed down.

We don’t have one in our town – we’ve been screaming for one for years. I have to travel. I buy from Target whenever I visit a town that has one. This is such a shame. All of my favourite stores are threatening to close down. I’m absolutely a touch and feel shopper, so the thought of more online offerings does not please me.

I’ve started shopping at target more as I’ve started looking for higher quality that will last longer. With a baby the shop closest to the entrance is currently the winner too- which is target. But Kmart is our next in line! Tough competition sometimes

I’ve noticed Target and Kmart don’t have as many clothes for the bigger woman as they used to. Will be a shame to see Target closing some of their stores though.

I like the products that they stock in Target, but much of the time it comes down to being able to buy a similar product cheaper. My husband likes that they have the larger men’s sizes in clothes off the rack

I’ve never really understood how Target does thrive when Kmart is cheaper. If Kmart put the clothing from Target in their range, they could close down the store. What else do they have that’s unique and a must-buy from their store?

    The look, quality and feel of Target clothes are in a completely different league to Kmart’s. I love Kmart, but the baby clothes from Target are much nicer designs and last much longer. And the Kmart women’s work wear just looks cheap and nasty. I swear by Target work pants, have been wearing them for years.

I am surprised by this, with all the kmart hacks i thought they would have made a huge profit. I like target, so it will be shame to see some close. I think of them as an upmarket kmart!

Not sure which store they will shut down but it wont be my local store as it is always crowded.

Just like Big W

I really hope our target doesn’t close. It’s at least a 4 hour drive to the next closest one and target and Kmart are the only stores in our town that are any good for kids clothes here. We have a couple more options for adult clothes – mostly ladies but they’re all a lot more expensive. So I don’t want ours to close!

  My local Target store is a Target Country. If it goes my option is Big W or drive 100km to my nearest Kmart or 160km to my nearest Target. I hope Wesfarmers are just going to be replacing the Target stores with Kmart.

I hope they dont close my local target, sometimes getting out of the house and just going in there for a look is what keeps me sane.

Most of there stores are so old and not done up….
