Target Greatland stores are large, discount department stores that average 145,000 square feet (13,000 mē) and are part of the Target chain. Target Greatland carries a selection of general merchandise larger then a regular Target. Prominent features include double entrances on single level stores along with an expanded snack bar. Their Food Ave, as the company calls it, may include a Pizza Hut Express, Taco Bell Express, and/or a Starbucks.
The first Target Greatland opened in Apple Valley, Minnesota in 1990, and has since been remodeled and expanded, becoming a SuperTarget.
Target Corporation's discount retail chain in the United States has 1,400 stores in 47 states (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and Vermont) that operate under the mastheads of Target, TargetGreatland, and SuperTarget.
Target donates around five percent of their pre-tax operating profit; it gives over $2 million a week in the communities it operates in.
Target allows employees to refuse to dispense medication based on religious beliefs; however, the employee must ensure that the prescription is filled by another pharmacist in a timely manner.
Target is consistently ranked as one of the most philanthopic companies in the United States, and gives over $2 million a week in the communities it operates.
Target Stores made a corporate decision that during the 2004 Christmas season, the Salvation Army would no longer be allowed to station the red kettles and bell ringers at store entrances.
Target based this decision on the fact that other organizations were asking for solicitation space on its properties, and Target felt it could no longer make an exception for one organization.
