What is Target?

The Target corporation is an interesting company to study and measure. They are currently the number two discount store in the US (behind Walmart), but their roots go back much further than many of you might think.

Target actually trace back to 1902, when it began as Goodfellow Dry Goods. It then evolved to Dayton's Dry Goods to Dayton Company to Dayton-Hudson Corporation and then the Target Corporation in 2000.

Target's footprint in the US is vast with more than 1,800 domestic stores and close to 350,000 employees. They are a force to recon with in the brick and mortar retail market, as well as the digital retail world as they adopted digital early on and have invested considerably in digital integration throughout this decade, setting them up to be able to remain competitive as digital monsters like Amazon swallow up retailers that were late to the digital game.
