Target does alot of good. If you have a target credit card they donate a certain percentage of each purchase to the school of your choice. Also, take a look at their bulletin board in the front of the store, they are always covered with thank you notes from charitable organizations they've donated to, or pictures of local kids they've helped out. My local Target sponsors reading programs and donates supplies to neighborhood schools, among other things. Target wants to help nurture the communities they are in, not destroy them by putting mom and pop stores out of business like other big box stores. The new Target in my neighborhood was built on a pretty undesirable piece of property, but based on Target's interest in the land, developers were able to get Staples and a Publix grocery store to build in the plaza as well. The rest of the plaza is made up of little mom and pop outfits that are thriving thanks to the foot traffic the big stores attract. My girlfriend was out of work for nearly 9 months but was hired by one of the small shops.I am all for Target, because they don't exist to destroy the little guy, and my household was positively affected (in an indirect way) by Target. I think the chain's social conscience is what attracted the band.
