what type of store is target

Target is an American retail corporation that operates a chain of discount department stores and hypermarkets. Target stores offer a wide range of products and services, from exclusive only-at-Target offerings to national brands that customers expect. Customers can shop at Target in stores, online, or have their purchases delivered to their homes. Target operates nearly 2,000 stores across the United States, with locations ranging from several thousand to over 200,000 square feet. The company is the seventh-largest retailer in the United States and is consistently ranked as one of the most philanthropic companies in the country. Target stores are designed to be more attractive than large big-box stores by having wider aisles, drop ceilings, and a more attractive presentation of merchandise.
