Dead Brands Walking

I don’t know about you but the news that Target is rolling out toy departments under the FAO Schwarz name is underwhelming…very. The once-upscale brand has been through multiple owners and formats over the past few decades and one has to think that young shoppers — the people who buy toys for their kids — have little if any recognition of this brand. Doesn’t the Target name mean more to them?
