A tale of 2 retailers: Walt-mart vs Target

1. This article is about the diffrences of Wal-mart and Target, and the diffrences on how they struggle off of eachother.

2. I chose this because I shop at both of these stores and my money impacts them both.

3. I agree with the article because wal-mart does have more items in their store that are worth buying but target's electronics and apparel are more efficient in their store.

4. Yes, because if you read the article on the bottom it states the diffrences of the two stores. For example
Wal-Mart:
Revenue for year ended Jan. 31: $405.6 billion

verses

• Target
Revenue for year ended Jan. 31: $64.9 billion


5. I always use yahoo news. I wouldnt want to use anything else.

  1. Janay, What a great idea for a story. Pity there was so little to it, and even less to your post. I don’t see how you can just compare total sales at Wal-Mart and Target, since one is so much bigger, but I thought WHERE they made their money says a lot about the two stores – nearly half Wal-Mart’s sales comes from groceries, but more of Target’s comes from fashion and home design.
