I thi...Its got to be more than a language g thing. I think I remember seeing stores in Florida that had signs in English and Spanish. Walmart started their opperations in Canada by purchasing Woolco. The international stores also operate as seperate divisions of the US stores, which could be why Target doesn't have stores there yet. It could have to do with distribution or something legal; something where it would only be profitable if they could afford jump in and build many stores at once. Like if they opened just a few store they would be spending more money to operate them than those stores bring in.<br /><br />P.S. You probably already know this but there are also Target stores in Australia. They have no affiliation with the stores in the US. The Australia Target is owned by a company called Wesfamers which also owns stores in Australia called Coles and Kmart. The Kmart stores were at one time affiliated with the US Kmart but the Target stores never were. Ive been to an Australian Target, they are weird. They are sort of set up like a Sears minus the hardware, large appliances, and large electronics departments.<br /><br />I love Wikipedia.mike721cthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857788287596757117noreply@blogger.com
