Wal-Mart And Target Challenge

Wal-Mart and Target Challenge The Wal-Mart and the Target stores in Mt. Pleasant have many similarities and many differences. Together we will describe for you these similarities and differences. They are both large department stores that sell many fine goods. Throughout our study we discovered Target is the premier place to shop.

Target has many great features! As we arrived at Target it was easy for us to find a good parking space. As we entered the door we saw they had a gift registry.
