Wow! I never knew that. The French story is just so pervasive. I looked at Target's "About Us" and just read that they are the old Dayton-Hudson and Marshall Fields.
Yep, and crazy Sen. Mark Dayton (D-MN) is heir to the Dayton-Hudson fortune. Between that and kicking out the Salvation Army, I haven't shopped there in two years and never will again. To hell with them and the idiots running Chicago. Bravo to Wal-Mart for sticking it in their eye, too.
Marshall Fields owned Target for only a few years and they dumped them last year. Earlier this year Macy's acquired Marshall Fields and the conversion process/name change should be complete by years end.
