Question: is target australia the same as target usa

Answer: No, In 1968, Myer Emporium Ltd purchased the chain of 16 stores and renamed the company Lindsay's Target Pty Ltd, with an aim to expand the business. With the stores rebranded as Target, it quickly established itself throughout Australia, and within 3 years had stores in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and NSW. Despite the similar logo, name and type of outlets, Target carried no corporate connection to US department store Target. In March 1973, ``Lindsay's'' was dropped from the company name when the business was renamed Target Australia Pty Ltd.
