I wager if you do a Google or Nexis search on Target, the store, you will
find many articles about this. I have read several in the New York Times alone in
the past few years. Apparently, the word is jokingly pronounced "tar-zhay" by
upper middle class shoppers who go there for some of the store's more upscale
or chic goods.
