Wal-Mart is taking over

Wal-Mart will be replacing the longstanding Zellers outlet in the Dorval shopping mall.

When they heard the news, some shoppers were thrilled while others weren’t as happy. 

Some people defend the fact that Wal-Mart is a place where low-income families can buy low-cost products, but others think it crushes competitors. 

Merchants from adjacent small stores fear they will lose sales and consider relocating their store when the Wal-Mart opens.

The Target retail chain bought most of the province’s Zellers, but the one at the Dorval Gardens is becoming a Wal-Mart. 

In May, Target announced that it would take over nineteen Zellers in Quebec, and over a hundred and five in Canada. 

Renovations are scheduled to start on January fourteenth.

The new Wal-Mart is set to open in the Spring of 2012.
