Target, the chic alternative to Wal-Mart, is having a little trouble pleasing investors in this economy: Profits slipped 7.6 percent, which to us actually seems pretty respectable, given Americans' decreasing amount of disposable income to spend on Clybourn Loft Chairs. But they're doing anything they can to attract your last penny, which means they're launching the "new Go International private label collection next month, followed by new designer partnerships in October with Jonathan Saunders for apparel, Anya Hindmarch for handbags and Sigerson Morrison for shoes." And how will they get the word out about their new brands? By launching four pop-up stores, or "bullseye bodegas", in Midtown, Union Square, Soho, and the East Village. They will open on Sept. 11, just in time to put a literal target on NYC.
