The local W4K seemed to go down 5-6% and they're owned by K-mart.

That's probably the most 'in spirit' drop.

It's probably better to get them on different prices, I should have written
them down on Saturday before they put the new prices up.

The comparison with Big W is probably the key!
But as people only buy from Target during the sales, it will not affect us
much. In fact with the more frequent Target sales, Target will probably still
get more sales in the long run, since Big W sales are pretty rare and then
only 10-15% and for two days. At least Target run them for a week.
