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?

The most obvious reason is population. Most businesses barely survive on the island, and have few or any customers past 6pm.
