How to Contact Target Australia

Though using an almost identical logo, Target Australia is not affiliated or does not have any relation with the Target Corporation in the US. It is owned by the Kmart group under the parent company of the Australian retail conglomerate Wesfarmers.

History of Target Australia

George Lindsay had a group of retail stores in Ouyen, Victoria then moved to Geelong for an opportunity for growth. Selling dress fabrics, bedding, and furnishings, he and Alex McKenzie opened their first store on Geelong in 1926 then further opened more stores.

Myer Emporium purchased 16 of these stores and renamed Lindsay’s Target, being the first discount department store that expanded to other areas in Australia. It was in March 1973 when the company decided to drop “Lindsay’s” on the company name and renamed as Target.

The merge of Myer Emporium Ltd and GJ Coles & Coy Ltd in August 1985 led to the creation of Coles Myer Limited. The loss of Target in 2001 has led to new senior management, where changes can be seen from the retail stores.

When Wesfarmers took over the Coles Group, it has considered changing some Kmart stores to the Target brand. The parent company decided to restructure Target and Kmart into a single department store division called Kmart Group. In the following decade, there are store closures and changes to small-format store KHubs (under Kmart brand) or Kmart in 2020.
