Target is Latest Retailer to Think ‘Being Like Apple’ Will Stop Showrooming

Retailers continue to make changes to their stores based on the notion that, like Apple's sleek and busy retail locations, if they can just get customers to futz around with products in the store long enough, they'll eventually buy something right then and there, rather than buying it cheaper online. Target is the latest to give this idea a shot in its electronics department. The Minnesota-based retail chain is testing a minimalist redesign emphasizing interaction with products at a number of its stores, reports the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
