Atventure | Target Rep Group

Since 1962, delivering on their promise to “Expect More, Pay Less”, Target has grown from a single store in Roseville, Minnesota, to 1956 retail stores in all fifty states.   Today over 75% of the US population lives within 10 miles of a Target store.   Combining the power of the Target brand and leveraging their stores as both destinations and anchors, Target continues to grow their online/digital presence as a true omni-channel experience for their guests.

By using a customized approach, Atventure has worked very successfully on behalf of many different manufacturers including brands that range from household names with deep penetration, to newly emerging brands looking to go to market.

The Atventure team is a diverse group with deep roots at Target, united in a passion for retail and serving our manufacturers.

Whether you’re looking for a Target sales rep, Target broker, manufacturer’s rep group, or simply a Target retail expert, we’d love to learn more about your business and how we can help.
