Target Facts

Here is pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about Target.

target statistics store count revenue totals facts 2022The 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.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Target statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
