Target: More Than Just a Store
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of dates, let's appreciate Target for what it truly is: a sanctuary of affordable chic, a haven for impulse buys, and a one-stop shop for everything from groceries to goddamn patio furniture. It's where you go to buy a toothbrush and end up with a new throw pillow, a candle, and a subscription to Shape magazine.
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
Target Comes to Town
Okay, back to business. Target's journey to LA stardom wasn't exactly a Hollywood blockbuster. It was more like a well-planned sitcom with a few unexpected plot twists. The first Target store to grace the City of Angels opened its doors in the early 1980s. That's right, folks, we're talking about a time when shoulder pads were essential, and leg warmers were considered high fashion.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
