Target’s CEO Brian Cornell is reportedly raving about the economy. Stating that this is the best he has ever seen.

According to CNBC:

Consumer spending is back and has never been better as far as Target CEO Brian Cornell is concerned.

“There’s no doubt that, like others, we’re currently benefiting from a very strong consumer environment — perhaps the strongest I’ve seen in my career,” Cornell told analysts on a call Wednesday.

The retailer’s shares are surging after reporting fiscal second-quarter results that beat on earnings, revenue and comparable store sales. Just when many investors have written off brick-and-mortar retailers in the era of Amazon, Target is seeing a huge jump in foot traffic.

“We’re seeing a great consumer response … unprecedented traffic. As we go back and look, we’ve never seen traffic growth like this,” Cornell said Wednesday morning on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

This is just another case of huge praise for the strengthening economy. The economy will be a huge issue heading into the midterms and news like this is sure to help.
