What the merger between retail giants Kmart and Target could mean for your weekly shopping routine
What the merger between retail giants Kmart and Target could mean for your weekly shopping routine
The change has been downplayed as an "internal reorganisation" that will only result in "a handful" of redundancies.

Wait. Do people go into Kmart and target weekly?
Yes. I don't personally, but know Kmart at least is cheap for clothing basics, especially for kids. It also has cheap homeware and small appliances. Not everyone can afford to buy expensive brands.
Edit: should also point out, they pretty much have clearance stuff on sale weekly, so people probably go to see what they can get for cheap.
Yep, I get all my kids clothes from kmart/target. No point getting expensive clothes when they'll outgrow them anyway.
I get most of my everyday clothes from Target. You get the occasional dodgy seam, but for jeans, trackies, and t-shirts they're pretty good. In no way haute couture, but it's $10 a t-shirt.
How long do their jeans last?
Not long, but I'm no tradie, I barely wear them, so long enough for me.
I do, its cheap and decent quality, pretty much all of my Gym gear comes from Kmart as oppose to spending $200 on Puma gear ...
Perhaps people that buy lots of chocolate and confectionery? That's the biggest theoretical demographic I can think of (my only other thought are people that buy new clothes and underwear rather than using a washing machine, but I don't think that would be many).
There are many who live in shopping deserts (? I think I got that name wrong) where Target or Kmart may be their only choice for groceries.
I suspect your frame of reference for this might be from somewhere other than Australia. Neither one has groceries in Australia, other than a small selection of snacks.
That said, almost every shopping centre where you get one of the big supermarkets, you'll also get at least a Kmart or Target.
Yeah... I didn't look where this was being posted before I commented.
