Target is not and never has been a foreigned owned company. It began in Minnesota under the name Dayton's dry goods in the early 1900's. It is a publically traded company and has some foreign investors. This does not make it foreign owned.

I do know how Walmart operates. As a distributor...our vendors are contracted through Walmart and in turn that comes down to my company as their distributor. We sell automotive service equipment. Walmart tells these companies what they will pay for an item...the incentive....every Walmart auto center will have this product....sometimes multiples in one location. Walmart also dictates the price they will pay for service calls and repair parts. Our company is dispatched from a vendor...we bill the vendor at Walmart's dictated pricing. Walmart is large enough and powerful enough to do these things.

An fyi ~ do not take your vehicle to Walmart for auto repairs. Trust me on this.
