And, um.
Then, of course, you just can't make it up.
Target thinks they're so smart, I told them they should come in incrementally and convert store by store and do it over time.
They were so arrogant, and they insisted on taking the Zellers name off of every building.
They insisted on firing 30,000 Zellers employees.
They wanted nothing to do with the word Zellers.
By the way, I still own Zellers.
They didn't even want the name Zellers.
They wanted the leaseholds.
And they screwed it up.
So they came, they spent $5 billion converting everything and doing this.
And within two years, they fired the CEO and they bankrupted Target Canada and closed the entire thing down.
And Walmart ended up getting everything they wanted anyway.
Is that the craziest story ever?

We made $1,850,000,000 profit after having bought the company two years earlier.

And you, I understand, are from Winnipeg.
You know how many times I was in Winnipeg?
Yes.
