Here are five surprising facts about Target, an iconic American brand from 1962 to present.
Your local Target store may soon look a little different.
That’s because, in addition to opening 30 new stores in priority markets, the company recently announced it will spend about $5 billion on more than 130 renovations, which the company calls “more transformational for our stores than at any point in the past decade.”
Markets where the company is focusing on opening new stores include Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Chicago, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
The company says the redesign includes an updated layout for easier navigation and a “more intuitive” shopping experience. New features in the newly renovated store include:
- Expanding the lineup of dry foods, and expanding the fresh and frozen food sections in some stores
- Facilities with modern decor and special LED lighting
- In addition to updates to our traditional and self-checkout lanes, we have updated spaces and expanded services to support order pickup, drive up, exchanges and returns.
- Modern guest amenities such as restrooms and designated lactation areas
- In some stores, Target is installing natural refrigeration systems, more efficient lighting, and HVAC systems to help reduce emissions.
“These investments are designed to make Target an easier, more exciting and friendlier place to shop,” said Laurie Mahowald, senior vice president of Target Properties, in a news release. “From more intuitive layouts to expanded selections, we are evolving our stores to reflect the way our customers shop today, while strengthening the role they play in enrichment and our long-term growth.”
Target told USA TODAY what’s new for guests will vary by location and the timing of each renovation will vary.
