You can thank Douglas Dayton for Target. Back in 1962,he spotted the customers moving through cashiers through his one of his stores rather expediciously. He told another person that the customers they were going thru the aisles "like a moving target". The name stuck.
We know where Target is of where I live but it's not local we got to go one our to eat and sometimes after we're done eating Carrabba's we go to Target and I love getting cars there obsessed with them the best thing ever and Target has good things better than Walmart it's the best place EVER!!!!

Just found out today that the music used for these commercials is Dick Hyman's "The Legend of Johnny Pot" from his 1969 album "Moog - The Electric Eclectics Of Dick Hyman", which I'm currently listening to. :)

So is Kmart -- all three were founded in 1962. Target (owned by Dayton-Hudson) and Wal-Mart were regional chains for many years, while Kmart (S.S. Kresge) established stores all over the country from the very beginning. I'd love to know where this futuristic Moog synthesizer track came from. And the Miss Targé name shows someone there had a sense of humor!
@@misterhot9163 Yet sadly, Amazon is the 5 gigaton Godzilla that is intent on annihilating everything and everyone. It should have been stopped in its tracks years ago. 😢
Never been in one, but, I did chuckle when I heard the VO say 'Miss Target' (pronounced, en faux Francais, est; 'Miss Tar+ZHAY'. THAT pronunciation is well-known amongst a certain demographic 😉.
Or in Australia, where Target Australia was converted to Kmart Australia in 2021. Target Australia never had any relation to Target US, originally was called Lindsay's Emporium, was owned by Myer and later Coles-Myer, before they were sold to retail firm Wesfarmers. Kmart Australia was originally a joint-venture between US retailer SS Kresge and Australian retailer Coles, later full-owned by Coles-Myer, they were sold along with Target Australia to retail firm Wesfarmers.
Compared to the Target of today, what do you think of the Target of the 60s and 70s? Also, it's too bad that we don't have as much stuff to show what Target was like prior the 80s.
Target was a fun place to shop... back in the 2000’s... 2020 is next year and target is less popular than kmart Also woolworths sucks So MAKE COLES GREAT AGAIN

Yes and still is a fun place to shop. Better than Walmart
I love their toy selection and their snack bar.
Anything is better than Wal-Mart 😑

Target changed over the years that they left stores unrecognizable
The Camera Snap at the end always seem to make me laugh lol.

Thank you!
I love the nice music from Target 1970.
The Legend Of Johnny Pot by Dick Hyman
I’d love to get my hands on some of those vintage Target products
0:18 oh god they actually did call it that!?!?........ ugh......
never again...
Lmaoo
That's what my grandpa calls it
his Brain is Explodeing
This is surreal.
That was actually kinda neat the way they gave their store brands those type of names!
Such Splendid Memories...

Dang, this is a lot different then the commercials now.
I had no idea Target was around this early. I didn't see the one by my old house until 1987.
Nice music!
I never even knew about Target intil it came to my place in 1987!
Didn't come here until late 90's. Wasn't until the other day I found out it was around long before that. Used to be Bradlees in this area.
Ah, the good old days before they became Wal-Mart for Hipsters
It is a fun place to shop. This is also the company that is taking over my closed down local Kmart.
So is Kmart -- all three were founded in 1962. Target (owned by Dayton-Hudson) and Wal-Mart were regional chains for many years, while Kmart (S.S. Kresge) established stores all over the country from the very beginning.

tkaye2 so if Kmart was the fox, then Target was the tortoise who finished the race 🏁

I love target so much bitch, I’m actually watching a target 70’s commercial
why are we watching something from 50 years ago?
RUclips: they'll watch anything
It's better than a lot of the new stuff.
Gee, didn't know they had 16x9 TVs in 1970 (or maybe the top and bottom are just chopped off...)
I don't recall but if they did they were probably really expensive and never sold well.
"Target is a fun place to shop."
no
sniffles is awesome Exactly.
@@thisisabadchannel.stopsubs2952 yes
Target is a fun place to shop. Kinda makes me laugh.
A fun place to shop...except in Canada.
I sure miss it here. My store was an awesome place to shop.
Target Used to be in Canada

At .51 eating dat target popcorn yum:)
One of the better discount stores...
the song is called "The legend of Johnny Pot"
0:59 From now on, I'm gonna make that my camera's shutter noise.
In the 1970s, Target was the Kmart of Minnesota, today Target is the Walmart of Minnesota!
The Early Days of Target, L.A. didn't Get Target Until the Fall of 83, & Now its Nearly 100 Targets in the L.A. Region Today!
same kinda thing where I live
@MIKECNW You got that right. And their 50th anniversary is just around the corner too. Oddly enough, Walmart is the same age also. Go figure! :oP
Target is a fun place to shop.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This music is creeping me out.
0:30 so...isn circuit city right???
The music, mannequin, and sound effect at the end are kind of creepy 😳 Regardless, my family has been loyal Target shoppers since 1968🎯

Simple no gimmicks ad
BOING!
Acid trip synthesizers
In your opinion Arthur
A fun place to shop... only if you’re living in 🇦🇺
American target stores and Australian target stores are different
Why am I watching this in 2019??
BECAUSE YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!
Miss Targe'
very funny
Target Is Not A Fun Place To Shop If You Live In Canada.
It is if you ride your pet moose around the store.
Better than the fake woke commercial today with people of every ethnicity jumping out.
It all about covering their asses these days.
Pre-9/11 stuff.💲🇺🇲😎
Target was a fun place to shop... back in the 2000’s...
2020 is next year and target is less popular than kmart
Also woolworths sucks
So MAKE COLES GREAT AGAIN
