Target Canada

It's been over 4 Years since Target closed in Kitchener and the location is still abandoned, I'm starting to wonder if anything will ever open in there. With the Home Outfitters Location closed beside it that is an even larger chunk of abandoned space. I'm guessing one issue is it's too close to retailers that would have opened in the space, like Lowe's, Walmart, Canadian Tire etc.

I'd be surprised to see anything there, it's a poor spot that's far away from the road and as you say, all the big box chains are already nearby. It'd be a good spot for an skating rink/pool or some other indoor sports facility.

It would be, but I think the city has too much going close to that area.

Arena -- one or two-rink arena is planned close to Fischer-Hallmans and Bleams -- and one about 5 minutes away (if that) - Activa Sports Complex, not to mention the Aud Complex
Pools -- Cameron Heights and Forest Heights Pools are fairly close
Community Centres -- Mill Court is somewhat close, and Chandler-Mowat community centre is just down the street.

They'd need to do a rebuild and have offices in there along with some retail.
