Company History: The history of Target can be traced back to 1876 when George Dayton built a six storied building in Minneapolis downtown and asked the Goodfellows department store to move to the location. The name of the store was changed to Dayton Company in 1911 when George Dayton took over the company. John Geisse, who worked for the company, developed a concept of starting discount retailing and he later became Target’s founder.

In May, 1962 the Dayton Company used the concepts of Geisse to open its first ever Target store in Roseville, Minnesota. The Target Stores grew to become a chain of 24 units in 1970 when seven more stores were added to it. By then the sales of the company were at $200 million. In 1971, the company also acquired 16 new stores from the department store chain of Arlan in Oklahoma, Iowa and Colorado. The same year, two of the units were reopened by the name of Target Stores. In 1972, the remaining 14 units were reopened, which made the total number of stores in the chain to 46 units.




Stephen Pistner who had been responsible for the reviving of Team Electronics was named the CEO of Target Stores in 1973 while Kenneth Macke was named the Senior VP of the company. The company expanded its operations to the West Coast in 1982 by acquiring 33 FedMart department stores in Texas, California and Arizona. A 4^th distribution center was opened in LA. Target also launched its operations in India in the city of Bangalore in 2005 from where all the Target Business units are currently operated.
