my mate who works in the toy dept. at target was telling me that kmart have been killing target with all their sales... why would a company compete against another company owned by the same head company? its just silly imo

I imagine though that they just aren't killing Target but BigW as well. The fact is that they operate independently of each other so it matters squat to either. They're accountable to their bosses for their individual performance. Given the fact that K-Mart was the struggling Coles brand over a year ago, I think that can only be a good thing for the group as it was the biggest liability in Westfarmers move. All the other business lines represented opportunities whereas K-Mart was a desperate rescue mission.

That said, doesn't Target have a different niche when it comes to the non-toy sections? Like the more aspiring mother who wants to go better than K-Mart/BigW but not as far as Myers? I think other parts of their business will survive just b/c of that. Its all superficial to me where I buy anything but it does matter to a lot of people out there.

And nice one too, Amaryllis.

Yeah Little Man you're right, Target wants to be more of the "upmarket" department store, which is why you see them focusing a lot more on designer clothes, homewares etc... Whereas Kmart is for bogans and TF fans for their sales... The reason why (the then) Coles-Myer group sold Myers to whatever American company bought it was because Target was becoming too upmarket and comparable to Myers, so they sold off Myers.. That's what I've been told/read anyways

Partially. It was b/c Target was making a profit while the Myer brand was struggling in its battle w/ DJs. DJs were killing Myers at the time though it would appear Myers has wrestled that back in recent times (tho I'm not 100% sure cos since I stopped working, I haven't had my ear on things as I used to). And I'm pretty sure Myers is still owned by the Myer family trust or some such but with some investment firm. But it don't matter to me, all the same kinda monkey to me.
