Believe it or not, Target in Australia isn't affiliated with Target in the United States. They have the same name, branding and they're the same type of stores, but they're actually owned by K-Mart down here.

Wait, what? How is that even possible? Let me guess, your K-Mart isn't affiliated with our K-Mart either?? Maybe it's because everything can kill you in Australia, our US lawyers are too afraid to serve the obvious lawsuit...

I guess we really are the last of us
To be fair, there's actually too many of us, and we're due for a good culling. I hope I get drafted by the clickers!!

I'm genuinely not sure of the details myself, sadly. Possibly, Target down here wasn't doing very well, and Target back home decided to sell off the dead weight to K-Mart, and K-Mart would only buy it if they could keep calling the old Target stores Target? That's just a guess out of my ass, though.

But how is it they are objectively indistinguishable from one another, yet exist as wholly unrelated entities? Just sounds weird seeing as branding and trademarks are a legal thing, yet we've got two identical companies who just seem to be fine being identical to each other for any objective observer...
