Answer: Target Corporation

Target Corporation, usually known simply as Target, is an American retailing company that was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1902 as the Dayton Dry Goods Company. In 1962, the company opened its first Target store in nearby Roseville. The Target store concept grew and eventually became the largest division of Dayton Hudson, culminating in the company changing its name to Target Corporation in 2000. The company has opened stores in all but one state (the exception, as of October 2009[update], being Vermont), operating as Target, SuperTarget, and formerly Target Greatland.

Target is the second largest discount retailer in the United States, behind Walmart.
