For once I'm proud of something "French", showing some brass ones.
Target is not French-owned. That's an urban legend.
Target isn't French owned, you idiot.
From snopes.com: The Target Corporation is a publicly held, U.S.-based firm which has been headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, since it began as the Dayton Dry Goods Company in 1902. Target is not now, nor has it ever been, foreign-owned. (A French-based financial institution, AXA, holds about 42 million shares of Target stock, but that holding constitutes less than 5% of Target Corporation's outstanding shares.)
