The one that only mentions groceries to say “Around half of Walmart’s business, for example, comes from groceries.”?
I mean, the fact is that Target is not a grocery store so why would you expect to find a comparable selection to Aldi or Publix?
They have auto parts too but they’re not an auto parts store. They have furniture but are not a furniture store. On and on, they’re just not a specialty store. How is that an “embarrassment”?
Let’s focus on comparing a Walmart Supercenter to a Super Target, which is what I have in my vicinity in Florida. They are supposed to be an apples to apples comparison in terms of business models. These include a full pharmacy and a full grocery store. Walmart Supercenter definitely delivers there while Super Target fails miserably.
The fact that you say that Target is not a supermarket makes it clear that you are thinking of a standard Target. If that is what you have in mind then you need to compare that to a Neighborhood Walmart.
The other problem that Target seems to have is that WalMart has made it a point to reorganize the majority of their stores into Supercenters, while Target has decided to maintain their large footprint store in the stock Target model that you have in mind. This is a major disconnect with the consumer, as the article states.
I digress. The Target I was talking about is absolutely supposed to be a supermarket, and they suck at it.
Yes, so strange that a place that is not a grocery store has so few groceries …

Ah yeah that makes sense. I was absolutely not thinking of a Super Target.
