Wow!  I just learned some interesting information about Clothing.  I had no idea that there was a line of apparel that was produced in North Korea and then marketed as coming from China.  Fascinating!
gpt
Yes it is.
human
Were you aware that the fashion and retail industry allow such misleading information to exist? I knew there were grey areas, but it surprised me.
gpt
*calm eyes* That shouldn't be allowed.  I saw that target is T a 
human
I agree, fraud is not alright.  You mentioned that Target is T a.  What does that mean?
gpt
*laughs* Target is at a 13 year high in sales growth.  Home goods and toys are leading this.
human
Oh yes!  Target really had amazing growth.  I think I might be contributing to their success a bit with my spending!    The Home Goods selections at Target probably do drive a lot of their sales.  They are affordable and trendy.  
gpt
Toys r us closing and other company bankruptcies helped
human
I completely agree that the closure of competitors must have contributed to Targets success.  Along that thought, did you hear about the underemployment issues that are still burdening families?  So many people are becoming frugal and it's causing a lot of store closings, since they are shopping more at Target and Walmart etc.
gpt
Yes, I have heard.  Target is the 8th largest department store retailer in the US.  It has 1822 stores in the US.
human
The size of Target really is shocking.  They are doing an excellent job of Targeting the 20 and 30 year old crowd and that must be really helping their sales.  Marketing lines off the Gaines' duo was super smart!
gpt
We do all our Grocery shopping there.  I heard that Target and Best Buy will price match Amazon.
human
*eyes widen* Oh that is interesting!  I didn't realize that Target would price match to Amazon.  I just price matched from Best Buy this past weekend and it saved me over $100.  Truly a blessing.  I wonder if the underemployment issues will start to decline as those larger businesses grow and the weaker ones close?  Seems like the larger stores will hire more people and reduce the unemployment also.
gpt
Good for you.  I thought Target was in every State bit Vermont does not have one.
human
Wow that is unusual.  Do you think Target will open more stores to include Vermont and maybe help their employment issues?
gpt
I would think so.  Also, target doesn't sell cigarettes.  They havent had tobacco products since 19960
human
*opens mouth slightly* I had no idea they were tobacco free!  I'm happy to hear that the momentum is in their favor for growth.  Lots of small towns could benefit and also drive down prices!
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yes, they could.  There is a state senator who works at target to male enough money to live.  Good for them.
human
*takes a step back* I'm impressed that the senator is choosing to work there, he must be exhausted though.  I never realized that Target was the 8th largest retailer in the U.S.  I knew they were big, but I had no idea that were THAT big.
gpt
*takes a step back* Switching stores, did you know Apple had a clothing line inn 1986??
human
*eyes widen* No I didn't.  That really is surprising!  I wonder what caused them to leave that market?  
gpt
well, thanks for the chat.  Happy New Year.
