The store(s) data for Target was obtained from Kaggle. The data was cleaned and visualized using Folium. Exploratory Data Analysis was performed to identify county and city with maximum number of Target stores present. Additional features like opening date, remodelling date, etc. were also explored to understand the characteristics of the data. Clustering was performed on the data to identify high density cluster of stores, hence, used DBSCAN (Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm.
Maximum new store opening can be seen from years 2000 to 2010 while maximum remodelling of stores can be seen done through year 2010 to 2015.
Over 97% of the stores have recognized Day Light Savings Time.
Maximum Store clusters can be seen at either the western or the eastern part of USA. Smaller clusters are are present in the central parts.
Chicago City has the largest number of Target stores as compared to other cities.
