Interesting strategies for both of these stores. I do not shop much however, Target often is lacking an item that I need, but Wal-Mart seldom is out of anything that I need.
More importantly, in 2008 Target's profits dropped a stunning 22.3%, to $2.2 billion. That figure includes a 40.7% earnings collapse in the fourth quarter. Wal-Mart's 2008 bottom line rose 5.9%, to $13.5 billion. Now, Target is getting trounced.
