  • And closed with a look at Target’s new small town store expansion strategy (yes, two Target headlines this week folks!) (Source)

There’s all that, plus RADAR CEO Spencer Hewett stops by for 5 Insightful Minutes to put Chris in his place on his recent comments about his company’s Old Navy store rollout, along with a Favre-filled, Sesame Street lightning round.
