Target lands in Chicago the week of its annual supplier summit

Target flew from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport to Chicago Midway International Airport on June 4, a 1-hour-45-minute hop in its Gulfstream G280, tail number N585PL. The flight arrived at 1:48 p.m. local time, according to flight data.

The same week, Target is hosting its annual supplier summit in Chicago, per a company announcement posted on its corporate website. The event brings together hundreds of vendors and supply-chain partners to discuss product sourcing, sustainability goals, and the retailer's private-label strategy for the coming year. Chicago has long been a hub for Target's merchandising and procurement teams, making Midway a natural arrival point for executives.

The trip follows a busy two days of short hops across the Midwest — including stops in Cleveland, Detroit, Columbus, and Louisville — that suggest a store or distribution-center tour. Landing in Chicago for the summit rounds out a week of face-to-face meetings with the network that keeps Target's shelves stocked.
