When does the AutoZone open

I see the AutoZone is putting up ribbons in their parking lot and look real close to opening. Has anyone seen an exact opening date?

Whenever it is, it is too late to buy a Christmas present for my wife.

Well there is always next year. I understand my wife wants some mags and nice wrap around bucket seats for my Vocho....jaja.

Is divorce cheaper in Mexico? You guys may want to check that out...

LOL

it will be interesting to see if they carry the spark plugs i need for my moto so that i don't have to get them from the usa and canada

Jan. 10 is what is was told by a important looking gent who seemed to be issuing orders to the workers. This was about 10 days ago when I asked.

On the same subject, has the Orma auto parts store, across from Maskaras clinic opened yet?

Nope. Shelves are in and set up, but not stocked at Orma.

Amazing that AutoZone may beat Orma to the opening. Orma was months ahead of AutoZone. The Orma building was almost finished before AutoZone even broke ground. Who says you can't get things done quickly in Mexico.

Also stopped at the Orma store and was told Jan. 15.

Next up may be Fry's Electronics and $10 (pesos) Only Store?

It seems that some major retailers see Lakeside as a growing area and want to get in on, if not the ground floor, at least the mezzanine.

Of course, as with Walmart, I wouldn't look for any seriously lower prices and for sure not compared to NOB. Of course, I'm also sure Mexico has a pretty high tariff on incoming goods for retail sale. But it will be a heck of a lot better than when asking about something to have the reply that doesn't include the word "Guadalajara."

Frys Electronics would be awesome. This place just gets better and better.

Replace Wal Mart with a huge Sorianna add Trader Joes to another pad and put Frys Electronics across the street!!! If you have not been to Frys you have not been to an electronic store!! I could use some Chili flavored Cashews from Traders. Only two stores (OK I am cheap and buy my clothes at Ross) Ok three stores I miss.

We can dream CB we can dream.

you got that right

Target in Canada is not quite the same as Target in the US. Target came to Canada by purchasing a low end retailer called Zellers. They seem to have kept some of that low end philosophy. I hear they really messed up their warehousing & distribution system too. Their prices aren't that great either.

What a great line!

Speaking of Target, I found this article this morning that says Target may be pulling out of Canada completely in 2015.

financial post had a similar story several months ago

Autozone must be getting close. I walked up to the window and can see inventory just inside the store stacked on the high shelves.

it's official-target is getting outta canader leaving about 17,000 employees outta work.

In 2011, Target acquired the leaseholds of 189 locations operated by Hudson's Bay Company's (HBC) Zellers discount chain, with the intent to use 125 of these sites to open Target stores in 2013.

Target opened its first Canadian stores in March 2013; these stores numbered 133 as of October 22, 2014. On January 15, 2015 Target announced that it will close all of its 133 Canadian stores

Orma autopartes chapala is now open. They english speaking counter people.
