In the Beginning!

As I stated before Target by far is one of my favorite retailers. Today Target is the fifth largest retailer in the United States. This retailer is the employer of three hundred and sixty six thousand employees. Target is only located in the United States, but it currently consist of one thousand, five hundred, and ninety one stores. This major retail store chain was not always this way! It took time, great efforts, and change in order to get to where it is today.
Before Target became a major retailer with featured designers; it took on several changes. The very first Target was opened in 1962 in Roseville, Minnesota. Before it become a Target it was known as the Dayton Company. Originally, the Dayton Compay was owned by George Dayton in 1902. Between the years of 1902-1962 the company went from being a department store to evetually a retail chain. Amongst the traditional Target there are super Target's as well. The current owner/ chairman is Robert J. Ulrich. Target Corporation is ranked as number 31 of the Fortune 500 companies.
