Here are some tasks you can do:
- Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure
- Cleanup: T.J. Maxx reads like advert; see talk page discussion
- Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too.
- Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx
- Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

[edit] Archer Farms/Fleming relation?
Laura Rowley's book On Target ISBN 0-471-66729-3 has an interesting comment about Fleming on p. 177: "...Target depends on wholesalers Supervalu and Fleming to distribute goods..." cited from the September 2, 2002 Forbes article Kitchen-Sink Retailing: Combine a discount store with a grocery store and what do you get? A disappointing profit margin, p. 78. Does anyone more familiar with the subject matter know if there is a relationship with Archer Farms and Fleming? 68.226.61.4 05:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I found Archer Farms trail mix at a 7-11. Is Target now selling its products to other distributors, or is there a 7-11/Target connection? Katr67 18:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
