> you're not allowed in the building without a membership

I wonder why other stores like Target don't do that as well. Beyond the obvious, it just seems like the way to go.

Walmart does, under the Sam's Club brand, and there's a handful of other regional ones. Conventional wisdom is that the market reached saturation in the 90s. There's a lot of people who just don't want to pay a membership fee.
