Which Retail Brand Was Not Named After an Actual Person?
Many retail brands are named after their founders or other influential individuals. However, not all brands follow this trend. Can you guess which of the following retail brands was not named after an actual person?
- Walmart
- McDonald's
- Louis Vuitton
- Target
While Walmart, McDonald's, and Louis Vuitton are all named after their founders (Sam Walton, Ray Kroc, and Louis Vuitton, respectively), Target is the odd one out. Target was actually named after the concept of a "target consumer" or ideal customer, rather than a specific person.
So, if you guessed Target, you are correct! It's always interesting to learn the stories behind the names of our favorite retail brands.
