TARGET

In 1968, Myer Emporium acquired the 42-year-old Lindsay's fabrics and furnishings chain. Fourteen stores were rebranded as Lindsay's Target. The nameplate was shortened to Target in March 1973. As mentioned, the Myer and Coles conglomerates merged 1985, forming Coles Myer, Limited. In November 2007, Perth's Westfarmers Group acquired the company, by then known as the Coles Group. Although the US-based Target Corporation and Target Australia share striking similarities, both attest that they are -and always have been- two separate and non-affiliated companies.
