Walmart stores to surpass number of Targets in Minnesota
With Walmart stores opening in Burnsville, in St. Cloud and in Redwood Falls this coming week, Minnesota for the first time will have more Walmart outlets (including Sam's Clubs) than it does Target stores, reported the Pioneer Press.
Minnesota-based Target Corp. currently has 26 Super Targets in the state and 49 regular Target stores.
For the time being, Target's sales continue to grow. The corporation reported earlier this month that September sales were up 2.6 percent.
