History of Target

By


While working for the Dayton Company, John F. Geisse developed the concept of upscale discount retailing. On May 1, 1962, the Dayton Company opened its first Target discount store located at 1515 West County Road B in the Saint Paul suburb of Roseville, Minnesota. The name "Target" originated from Dayton's publicity director, and was intended to prevent consumers from associating the new discount store chain with the department store. Douglas Dayton served as the first president of Target. The new subsidiary ended its first year with four units, all in Minnesota. Target Stores lost money in its initial years but reported its first gain in 1965, with sales reaching $39 million, allowing a fifth store to open in Minneapolis.
Target’s telltale logo was first revealed in 1962, streamlined in 1968 and has since evolved into one of the most recognized symbols in North America.  A 2003 Target study found more than 96 percent of American shoppers know what that bold, red Bullseye represents.

In 2015, Target decided they were going to make a change to parts of their stores, specifically, clothing and toys for children. Target decided they are going to sell gender neutral clothing in their stores.
