Target moves into Canada By Ian Austen New York Times News Service
OTTAWA — Target Corp. said on Thursday that it would make its first move outside of the United States by acquiring up to 220 Zellers department store locations from Hudson’s Bay Co. for $1.8 billion. The deal promises to transform Canadian retailing much like the arrival of Walmart in Canada 17 years ago. It will likely lead to the eventual disappearance of Zellers, the last major discount chain based in Canada,
which has struggled against competition from Walmart. Thursday’s transaction allows Target to overcome the general lack of available retail space in prime locations, a problem facing any large retailer trying to enter the Canadian market. Target will also gain access to a market that is less competitive and was far less affected by the recession than the United States. For Hudson’s Bay Co., whose founding in 1670 makes it the oldest corporation in North
10 Barrel Continued from B1 Meanwhile, the 10 Barrel partners have been preparing to open a new brewery, which will continue the 10-barrel production and also house a 50-barrel brewing area. A 10-barrel brewery, Cox said, is considered small and inexpensive and allows brewers to produce new and often unique beers quickly and frequently. A 50-barrel brewery, by comparison, can be used to amp up production of beers that are less experimental and more likely to succeed in the market. The new facility will be equipped with both, permitting both styles of beer making. The new brewery, he said, will allow 10 Barrel to widen distribution of its beer to a few new markets in the Northwest, because more will be available. And while the current brewery only has limited bottling capability, the new one will put beer in higher-end bottles and also can it for the first time, Cox said. Seifrit will manage the 50-barrel element of the brewery, and Cornett will head up the new 10barrel section. The current brewery, located in northeast Bend, will close when the new one is ready, Cox said. He declined to say exactly

Cox said that while the brewery will turn out much more beer with the new facility, the name will not change because the commitment to whipping up creative beer will remain intact. Seifrit and Cornett are close friends and can easily talk — and drink — beer for four to five
America, the deal will allow it to reduce its debt and focus on renovating a nationwide chain of full-line department stores to attract affluent shoppers. The chain, along with its Zellers subsidiary, was acquired in 2008 by NRDC Equity Partners, a private equity firm whose holdings include Lord & Taylor. “This transaction is spectacular for the balance of our companies,” Richard Baker, the chief executive of NRDC Equity and the governor of Hudson’s Bay, said in an interview.
hours straight on weekends. Both brewers said they are eager to produce more creative brews more often. At the new brewery, Seifrit said, the brewers will be able to do more barrel aging and start making some of their brews more sour. In just his first two weeks at 10 Barrel, Seifrit says he likes his new environment. “We are really being driven to be a very artistic-minded brewer,” he said. “From my standpoint, it just makes it really super exciting.” To exemplify what he perceives as 10 Barrel’s focus on uniqueness rather than being at the forefront of the market, he said he is currently working on a beer whose taste resembles beef chili. As for Cornett, she said she is excited about the upcoming move to 10 Barrel but wants to avoid getting caught up in thinking about it too much, as it won’t happen for another few months. And when she does transfer breweries, she said, she will see to it that Bend Brewing Co.’s beer quality won’t slip and cause fans to fret. “This is my family here, and I want to make sure that they’re protected,” she said.
