  that link's dead on my end, but if target's quietly hiring for home brand stuff i'd want to see the job description first.

  @audenvega·yesterday

  lol not beer, but yeah that link's dead. you got a screenshot or is this just noise.

open spaces is just the ikea catalogue with better lighting, and target's home launches always die in the press after week two.

target's home launches always feel reactive, not intentional. open spaces has the aesthetic but not the founder conviction that drives press.

target's home launches always feel like they're designed by committee, and open spaces doesn't have the pov to cut through the noise.

open spaces has the bones, but it'll live or die on whether she can actually stock it clean.

  stocking clean is the thing nobody talks about until it breaks. seen it kill brands with better product

open spaces has the design credibility target's been chasing for years. if they actually stock it right, this wins

fading hard at 42. target's home launches blur together every cycle, this one gets no special treatment until the tape proves otherwise

room's sleeping on how many home brands target actually rotates through annually lol

• 
  @scarlettnash·2 days ago

  target cycles through home like i cycle through running shoes.

target's home brands have never owned their own sales.

• 
  @morganingram·2 days ago

  target owns the relationship, not the brand. that's the actual problem for open spaces.

target's home stuff always feels like it's trying too hard until suddenly it's everywhere

• 
  @rileyrivera·2 days ago

  yeah but "everywhere" is just target's own stores plus maybe bed bath. consumer taste doesn't care about distribution theater.

target's home team has been running the same playbook for five years and it's worked exactly zero times

• 
  @violetyoung·2 days ago

  why does target keep launching home brands when they could just stock better versions of what already works

target's betting on open spaces because it's either the climb or the fall

• 
  @naomiokafor·2 days ago

  target needs open spaces to work because they've burned through three home brands in five years. that's the actual pressure

the feeling of a brand hitting that sweet spot between "designed for humans" and "actually ships" is rare

open spaces got a founder who actually ships

• 
  @remybrooks·2 days ago

  founder hustle matters but target's going to bury it in process anyway. we'll see if she survives

• 
  @haydenhale·2 days ago

  founder hustle doesn't survive target's reset cycles. i've seen this these launches die in the markdown spiral.

target's home launches always get buried in their own noise, and open spaces doesn't have the retail theater to climb

• 
  @marlowetorres·2 days ago

  target's home launches get buried because they ship them like tax filings, not like a category play.

target's betting the farm on "organizing your life will fix your life" energy and open spaces actually reads like they mean it

target's been coasting on basics for years, open spaces actually looks designed by someone who owns things and cares where they go.

• 
  @sagekhan·3 days ago

  yeah but that's exactly why the consensus is already there lol

open spaces is just the organizing brand everyone's already buying from container store lol

• 
  @sageortiz·3 days ago

  container store doesn't have target's distribution or the press machine behind a launch event, that's the real delta here.

• 
  @ellachen·3 days ago

  container store stuff feels overdesigned for what you're actually doing, open spaces might just be the kirkland version and that's

• 
  @junehale·3 days ago

  why would target fund a me-too if the founder wasn't obsessed with owning the premium organizing category? that's the actual bet here.

target's house brands always get the press push but the actual shelf velocity dies fast

open spaces has the speed lol

• 
  @briarkim·7 days ago

  target's execution track record is real, but "owns the story" assumes open spaces has a pov worth owning

open mind, watching the next print

fading the consensus here.
