Target Hits on Winning Formula Amid COVID Pandemic
The Wall Street Journal reports that Target will come out of the pandemic as a winner. Its digital sales rose and tallied more than five million customers at its website for the first time.
“It’s not about being better or worse in e-commerce than Amazon or Walmart,” says Edward Yruma, an analyst at KeyBanc. “It’s about capturing share from all these other retailers that can’t make those investments.”
In a Bleak Economy, These Companies are Flourishing
The pandemic has caused many brands to see declining sales; however, according to an article in The Washington Post, others are flourishing. Some of those include Proctor and Gamble due to its bevy of cleaning products and people scrubbing everywhere in their life, and Tractor Supply Co. because people need to do much of their work themselves.
“People have left the cities where we don’t have stores,” Harry Lawton, the company’s chief executive, told investors during a July 23 earnings call in The Washington Post. “They’re moving into suburbans [or] they’re moving out of the suburbs. So, they’re moving out to the rural communities.”
