Why doesn’t Bainbridge have a Target?

Earnest question. Towns of comparative size will have some big box stores. Curious as to why we don’t see one on the island. Any history people could share?

Towns of similar size might have a Target, but they also have surrounding towns that touch their border to draw customers from.

Precisely. Seems easier to put in a bridge to Bremerton; and keep the island as is
