Let's start with Target, America's retail sweetheart. What was once the Dayton-Hudson Corporation was renamed the Target Corporation in 2000, 38 years after opening the first Target location in a suburb of what city?

The first Target ever was in Roseville, MN at 1515 West County Road B. The name "Target" was suggested by Dayton's publicity director, and was intended to prevent consumers from associating the new discount store chain with the department store the company ran.
