Returning to Target’s entry mode, while the purchase of stores in a foreign market is a typical cost-saving strategy used by international companies, it turned out that the Zellers stores “required extensive expansion and refurbishing, which turned out to be more costly them Target originally anticipated” (Yoder 2016). The locations of these stores are also responsible for some of the problems within the supply chain. According to Megits (2015), multiple stores were over 1,600 km’s away from a distribution center, which in comparison would be equivalent to supplying a store in Seattle from a distribution center located in Minneapolis.
