Target Country store in Casino has closed. John Hamilton photographed workers taking down the sign at the Coles Plaza last Wednesday. Next month Price Busters will move into the shop vacated by Target.
Not everyone is happy about the lack of a clothing store in Casino, especially one that sells affordable children’s clothing.
On Facebook, readers lamented the closing:
So will price busters stock a range of reasonably priced clothing?
Carolyn Jung
So sad. We have bought lots of children’s wear from that store. Have to go to Ballina Target on weekend instead of buying anything when we need.
Grace Chang
Why can’t Price Busters stay where it is and put a Best and Less where Target was?
Belinda Urrea
Target Country were the best, this is sad.
Penny Lowe
Absolutely pathetic. No wonder people shop out of town.

They want us to support local business, but they don’t support the local people.
