If you’re a Saint John west sider and have been wanting a Walmart closer to home — you are about to get your wish.
After shelving plans for a new west location a few years ago — Walmart has completed a deal with Target to assume the Zeller’s location in the Lancaster Mall.
It’s part of a complex deal that sees Walmart picking up 39 Zeller’s locations across the country that don’t fit into to Target’s plans as it moves onto the Canadian retail landscape gobbling up the Zeller’s brand.
Walmart says it will have the stores converted by the end of next year while Target will begin opening its locations in early 2013.
