"Now, there are signs Target's shipping related deleverage is narrowing, particularly as it invests in fulfillment options .. which promote higher traffic and reduce costs," Morgan Stanley said.the launch of its limited-edition line with preppy apparel and accessories brand Vineyard Vines. When items hit stores this past weekend, throngs of shoppers showed up ahead of opening hours. Target has used similar collaborations in the past to drive traffic.
