Here is a cool growth chart done by Flowing Data. Did you know that Target first opened in 1962, which is around the same time as Walmart. I had know idea these stores have been around for so long. Why have I only had access to Target for 10 years or so? I feel so cheated.
Flowing Data has a slick way of showing growth and it is interesting to see how the brand covered the states. Target was quite sporatic while Walmart focused in one area and then fanned out from the origin.
Probably useless info to most but still cool to see. Watch the Target video and be amazed, then sadly watch where Walmart is at… bummer.
