There was a time in the land of Big Box stores when Wal-Mart reigned supreme. Not yet mired in labor violation controversy, its smiling faced mascot strode the land, leaving a ruin of mom and pop stores in its wake. It seemed like the golden orb would rule unchallenged, but then from the south a contender arose. Armed with a red and white bullseye and more upscale goods, Target met the mighty Wal-Mart on the field of battle to end the great beast. From sunrise to sundown the behemoths exchanged blow upon bloody blow, ultimately grinding to a standstill and reaching an uneasy truce. For years this pact held, but now Target has fired a new volley with the introduction of the Market Pantry Nacho Kit.
