Winnipeg's Grant Park Target to close by April 2

Winnipeg's Grant Park Target and Brandon's Target are on the list of locations the retail giant plans to close next week.

• Target Canada will have shut more than half its stores by April 2

The Southdale store closed on Sunday, March 22.

The two remaining Target stores oneat Kildonan Place Shopping Centre and the other at Polo Park are still open - for now.

• Target Canada owes Manitoba companies more than $1M
• Target shoppers grumble about lack of deals as stores close
• Why did Target fail in Canada? It wasn't the U.S. Target

The closures will leave just 55 locations - fewer than half its total stores - still open to the Canadian public.

The U.S.-based company is expected to shut down all its Canadian operations by mid-May, putting about17,600 employees out of work.
