Target currently is the second largest general merchandise retailer in America, with Target.com consistently ranked as one of the most-visited retail websites. The company continues to deliver on its brand promise of “Expect More. Pay Less.” Since 1946, Target has given 5 percent of its profit to communities, that giving today equals more than $4 million a week. Corporate Responsibility magazine has named Target on its “100 Best Corporate Citizens List.” Target is recognized as a leader in innovation across the retail industry. From pioneering the concept of designer partnerships to consistently being best in class in store design, Target remains focused on not only meeting, but exceeding its guests’ needs. To remain relevant to its guests over time, Target continually reinvents its stores, including layout, presentation and merchandise assortment, to create an engaging shopping experience and fulfill our Expect More. Pay Less® brand promise. Target stores are currently organized in a basic hierarchy that allows for reasonable amounts of cross training across workcenters. The Store Team Leader (STL) runs and has responsibility for everything within the four walls of the store. Stores also have Executive Team Leaders (ETLs) who function as departmental supervisors for large portions of the store; for example: the sales floor, or logistics. Each department has an hourly supervisor called a Team Leader and finally, we hire Team Members into primary departments and then cross-train as needed.

The Guest [Consumer] It’s not just about Mom anymore; it’s about the Demanding Enthusiast. These are ​Target’s core guests, and they’re digitally connected families who enjoy shopping and demand great value. Typical guests have kids in the household and lots of demands on their time, and are likely to live in urban areas. These guests actively shop in-store and online and are early adopters of new technology, shopping with one hand on their cart and one hand on their smartphone. They enjoy shopping and want to tell their friends, remaining engaged with social media while shopping and sharing their feedback and experiences online. They are often influenced by others and share

their findings to influence others. Guests love Target for its newness, its product assortment and its value. While browsing and making decisions are a large portion of the guest experience, today’s consumers demand great value as well as convenience. They have a wide range of retail choices, and are willing to hunt to take advantage of the best price, and are comfortable making spontaneous purchases. Retailers have answered this trend by partnering with mobile payment applications and shortening the number of steps required from browse to checkout, both digitally and physically. In terms of obtaining the purchased product, free shipping and in-store pickup are becoming increasingly important for online transactions, as well as length of time until product is received. For Target, the guest is at the center of everything. The company is continually developing new ways to serve the guest anytime, anywhere. ​Target’s purpose is to fulfill the needs and fuel the potential of our guests​. Target today remains committed to providing a one-stop shopping experience for guests by delivering differentiated merchandise and outstanding value with its Expect More.
