Why Do Some Americans Pronounce Target as Tarjay

I noticed when I was in the states in the MidWest that some Americans would pronounce the name of the shop 'Target' as 'Tarjay' with a soft J

Why? I don't get it

Is it like Hyacinth Bucket pronouncing her surname as Bouquet because it sounds posher?
