Target launches Canadian holiday shopping season

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — Target is extending its hours during the holiday shopping season at its Canadian stores, the mass merchandise retailer said Monday.

Target said most of its Canadian locations would offer extended hours from Nov. 29 to Dec. 30 as part of the "My Kind of Holiday" marketing campaign. The retailer will also extend its price-matching policy for the season; if customers purchase a qualifying item at Target between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24 and subsequently find it for less in a local competitors printed ad, Target will match the competitor's price.

"Target is celebrating its first holiday season in Canada, and we are proud to offer guests a new and extended shopping experience in the Canadian market," Target SVP John Morioka said. "At Target, we want to inspire guests with our broad product assortment and help make shopping a little easier."
