When your customers are waddling down the aisle then you know you need to stop selling food that includes ingredients that are feed to cattle to fatten them up.

I hope this works but two things - target’s produce has never been very good so it’s not a place we’d think of going for produce — and several attempts of restaurants and stores to sell healthy chow have been rejected by consumers. We will see. Oh yeah, we won’t shop at target until they take the locks off their shopping cars so they can roll thru their da@@ed parking lot. It’s very difficult having to walk back and forth a dozen times between their stalled out shopping cart and your car carrying your groceries in your two hands

Depends on the store. I would guess that the one closest to me has a grocery department which is maybe 15% of the store.

About the same as the nearest Super Wal*Mart, perhaps a bit more.

I know people who do all of their shopping at either store, so definitely large enough to have all they need.

“It will flop horribly. If you’re looking for fresh healthy foods target isn’t the first thing I think of.”

The only time mrs riverdawg ventures into the food section at Target is while she is shopping there for some other reason. Target is never her “go to” destination for food of any sort.

I read that Dollar General is toying with the idea of fresh veggies and and meat.
