While working for the Dayton company, John F. Geisse
developed the concept of upscale discount retailing. On May 1, 1962, the Dayton
Company, using Geisse's concepts, opened its first Target discount store
located at 1515 West County Road B in the Saint Paul suburb of Roseville,
Minnesota.
The name "Target" originated from Dayton's publicity
director, Stewart K. Widdess, and was intended to prevent consumers from
associating the new discount store chain with the department store. Douglas
Dayton served as the first president of Target. The new subsidiary ended its
first year with four units, all in Minnesota. Target Stores lost money in its
initial years but reported its first gain in 1965, with sales reaching $39
million, allowing a fifth store to open in Minneapolis.
