Amazon Has Considered Buying Some Toys ‘R’ Us Stores

I hadn't been in a Target in awhile, but popped in an intown location the other day.

Wow.

I was definitely impressed. For a chain that used to be "the other Walmart", the design and general feel of the store was miles different today.

So hats off to Mr. Johnson, and Target for hiring him.

Side note: Having a Starbucks in-store at Targets is brilliant. I imagine the deal works out financially for both parties, and Target gets to affluence-signal "we're the type of store that Starbucks people shop at."

Target has been actively renovating their stores in the last few years to make them more like...Crate & Barrel I guess?

The ones that haven't gone through the transition yet still do have that 90s warehouse feel of a more expensive Wal-Mart.
