About Target
Target is a mass-market retail company operating a chain of department stores headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, USA. The corporation was created in 1902 by George Draper Dayton. It opened its first Target discount store in the city of Roseville, MN, in 1962. It uses the name Target Corporation legally, and its stock code is TGT on the NYSE market.
The target market of Target is the general population of customers looking for clothes, household, electronic goods, foodstuffs, and other everyday products. The company’s organizational structure includes retail and online marketplace activities, namely Target stores, Target.com, and Shipt. The mission statement of Target states that its aim is to make it easier for all families to enjoy every moment.
It seems obvious that the target in the company's name comes from the shooting target, implying its idea of hitting the center. This idea can also be seen in one of its most recognizable brands – the bullseye. Also, the company's designers are well-known, and its positioning can be characterized by discount retail with a luxury level.
Some transformations took place throughout the corporate history of the company. For example, its parent company was named Dayton-Hudson Corporation in 1969 and Target Corporation in 2000. It operates in the United States.
