In 2013, Target expanded aggressively into Canada, opening 133 stores in under two years. The operational challenge was immense: a new supply chain, new distribution centers, and a different retail landscape. But behind the scenes, a single inventory management error—ordering the wrong mix of products for Canadian tastes—snowballed into empty shelves and overstocked backrooms. By 2015, Target announced its exit from Canada, writing off $5.4 billion. The episode breaks down how a flawed inventory assumption, compounded by rapid expansion, led to one of retail's costliest failures. Lucas and Luna discuss what operators can learn about scaling supply chains, the risk of assuming a market will mirror the home market, and why inventory accuracy is a strategic weapon, not just a logistical detail. #Target #Canada #InventoryManagement #RetailFailure #SupplyChain #Operations #BusinessCaseStudy #ScalingMistakes #RetailExpansion #InventoryAccuracy #SupplyChainRisk #BusinessExecution #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheOperatorsManual #RetailOps #OperationalRisk #CaseStudy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
