Target is a chain of 1,897 discount department stores in the United States. Created as the low-margin discount division of The Dayton Company department store chain, the first Target store opened in Roseville, Minnesota in May 1962. Target stores have made up the entirety of the Target Corporation's business since the Mervyn's and Marshall Field's chains were sold in 2004. The chain briefly expanded outside the United States with the conversion of 133 former Zellers stores into Target Canada starting in 2013, but the Canadian stores were unsuccessful and all closed in 2015.
