Target a French store ???

Target, being similar to other big US mass-market, lower-quality,
department stores, such as K-Mart and Walmart, can be pronounced as if
it were an upscale boutique by saying it with a French-like accent:
Tarzhay. It's just a fun little play-on-words.

Along the same lines.. The common dog name, "Fido", can be made to
sound fancy by spelling (and saying) it as "Phydeaux".

Fidoo ??
