Target announced Monday afternoon that it will open three “pilot stores” in Ontario on Tuesday, March 5, 2013. They are at Stone Road in Guelph, Milton Mall Shopping Centre in Milton and Gates of Fergus in Fergus. The release said that the three pilot stores are the first Target locations to open in Canada, and the first of 124 Target stores that will open across the country throughout 2013. Target has said internally that the new store in the East York Town Centre will open Monday, March 25. That date appears to be firm, so far at least.
