Q&A: Target’s chief merchandising officer Mark Tritton
NEW YORK — Target is hoping to have a bright holiday by emphasizing low prices as well as highlighting private-brand clothes and home goods and splurges for the season.
It’s the first holiday season at Target for Mark Tritton. He became chief merchandising officer, meaning he’s in charge of what’s on the shelves, in June after joining the discount retailer from Nordstrom.
Target struggled over the summer, in part by not focusing on the second part of its “Expect More, Pay Less” slogan.
