My thought is that because Target&#x27;s downfall was really location. Zellers got significantly worse and worse over the years that eventually, people stopped shopping there and took their business elsewhere.  As a result, Zellers only existed in dead-end malls with low foot traffic because the majority of people went to Walmart.<p>Target decided it was a good idea to buy up all the Zellers locations and put their stores in there.  But by that time, people&#x27;s habits changed.  Target wasn&#x27;t going to revive dead malls.
