Target is an American general merchandise retailer selling products through its stores and digital channels.

About Target

Target was founded on January 5th, 1960 by Douglas Dayton and John Geisse. They're currently the eighth largest retailer in the entirety of the United States, and a part of the S&P 500. Target originally was part of a company first named Goodfellow Dry Goods, which was founded in 1902 by George Dayton. The corporation was renamed Dayton's Dry Goods company, and later became known as the Dayton Corporation. The first Target store was founded in 1962 in Roseville, Minnesota. Around the same time, the Dayton Corporation merged with the J.L. Hudson company, and the collective company went on to own many department store chains such as Hudson's and Marshall Fields. Finally, in 2000, the Dayton Hudson Corporation became called the Target Corporation.

In addition to selling a variety of branded products, Target also owns many private labels. One example is Good&Gather, a food and beverage brand. Another popular one is Xhilaration, which primarily sells sleepwear. It also manages a company website, which partnered with Amazon between 2002 and 2011. During this time period, Amazon provided guest services and fulfillment for Target, which they repaid through both fixed and variable fees. Eventually, in August of 2009, Target built a new online platform, which operated without reliance on Amazon.

More From Wikipedia

"In January 2000, Dayton-Hudson Corporation changed its name to Target Corporation and its ticker symbol to TGT; by then, between 75 percent and 80 percent of the corporation's total sales and earnings came from Target Stores, while the other four chains—Dayton's, Hudson's, Marshall Field's, and Mervyn's—were used to fuel the growth of the discount chain, which expanded to 977 stores in 46 states and sales reached $29.7 billion by the end of the year. It separated its e-commerce operations from its retailing division, and combined it with its Rivertown Trading unit into a stand-alone subsidiary called target.direct. It started offering the Target Visa, as consumer trends were moving more towards third-party Visa and MasterCards and away from private-label cards such as the Target Guest Card.

In 2001, it launched its online gift registry, and in preparation for this, it wanted to operate its upscale Department Stores Division, consisting of 19 Dayton's, 21 Hudson's, and 24 Marshall Field's stores, under a unified department store name. It announced in January that it was renaming its Dayton's and Hudson's stores to Marshall Field's. The name was chosen for multiple reasons: out of the three, Marshall Field's was the most recognizable name in the Department Stores Division, its base in Chicago was bigger than Dayton's base in Minneapolis and Hudson's base in Detroit, Chicago was a major travel hub, and it was the largest chain of the three."
