Hoover's coverage by Alexandra Biesada

Overview

Purveyor of all that is cheap, yet chic, Target Corporation is the nation's #2 discount chain (behind Wal-Mart). The fashion-minded discounter operates more than 1,750 Target and SuperTarget stores in 49 states, as well as an online business at Target.com. Target and its larger grocery-carrying incarnation, SuperTarget, have carved out a niche by offering more upscale, fashion-forward merchandise than rivals Wal-Mart and Kmart. Target also issues its proprietary Target credit card, good only at Target. After a reversal in fortune that coincided with the onset of the deep recession, Target is growing its grocery business, remodeling stores, and -- in 2013 -- entering the Canadian market.
