Hudson's expanded into suburban Detroit, starting with the anchor store at [[Northland Center (Michigan)|Northland Center]] in nearby [[Southfield, Michigan]], the largest shopping center in the United States when it opened, in 1954.<ref name="detroitnews"/> Similar suburban malls followed (Eastland Center in 1957 and Westland Center in 1965) as well as other locations throughout the tri-state region. [[Dayton's|The Dayton Co.]] of Minneapolis acquired The J.L. Hudson Co. in 1969 to form the [[Dayton–Hudson Corporation]], the predecessor to [[Target Corporation]], but "The J.L. Hudson Co." continued to operate as a semiautonomous entity. Dayton–Hudson eventually acquired and sold several other department store chains.<ref name="merge">{{cite news| title=Dayton's and Hudson's to Merge| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1969/03/07/archives/dayton-and-hudsons-to-merge-retailers-in-agreement-large-retailers.html| date=March 7, 1969| first=Isadore| last=Barmash| newspaper=The New York Times| page=51| access-date=2011-05-26}}</ref>
