    Archived Target stores doing away with road signs.

    Also, both of the OP's signs are in Jacksonville, a hurricane-prone area. The signs may have been removed due to hurricane risk or city requirements to increase their structural rigidity when updating the sign itself.

    Archived Target closing 11 additional stores this year

    Another closure to add to the list: the SuperSpot in Roswell, GA on Holcomb Bridge Road will be closing at the end of January. Although this store is located in an upscale area, it is located far from major highways and likely couldn't pull the traffic needed to support it, especially offering...

    Well it appears that the closing announcements have started. The SuperSpot in Indio, California will be closing at the end of January, after opening less than 10 years ago. The area surrounding this store was hit hard during the recession, and sales traffic likely never met the goals which...

    I wonder if Spot is going to announce the store closings in a rolling manner, instead of one press release like in years past. Many other retailers have started to do this whenever possible to minimize the national media impact of store closures ("Spot store closing in Suchtown, Suchstate" gets...

    A few years back, Spot announced a second round of closings in late January, with stores closing in May. Occasionally, retailers will break stores closings into waves if they need to close a large amount in a particular year, in an effort to reduce the total number of store closings hitting the...

    Archived What ever happened with Spot's SuperTarget renovation effort?

    Back in 2012, Spot remodeled a group of 12 or so SuperTargets (4 were in the DFW area) to focus on bringing these stores up to the same brand standards as the P-Fresh stores which have been renovated over the past several years. At the time, Spot announced that they were planning to roll out...

    Crazy to think that the Montfort (Dallas) store is 47 years old, and yet is still receiving remodels. However, I am not sure how much longer that store will be around, as the whole area is slatted to be redeveloped (including the neighboring Valley View Center and the surrounding seedy...

    Columbus SW is the location on W. Broad. It is an original Greatland that has seen no renovations since opening and is also in a declining retail area.

    Archived Are there any targets with the old layout?

    There is a store similar to the one pictured by HardlinesFour in Lufkin, TX. The store is a remnant from the early 90's in an isolated market that has yet to see a remodel.

    One factor which could be hurting the Austin Super set to close is the intense grocery market in Austin. Austin has a heavy presence from Whole Foods (HQ'ed in the city) and HEB (an extremely nimble competitor based out of San Antonio which is known both for their excellent selection and...

    The common thread with most of these locations seems to be small/midsize Midwestern towns, which makes sense. The surprising ones are the Austin and Odessa (Tampa area) locations. Both of these seem to be in metro areas which are doing well, and neither seem to be in a particularly declining...

    It was also just announced that the Target Greatland at 3720 Soldano Blvd in Columbus, OH is closing later this year. This might possibly be one of the last Greatlands still standing.

    Personally, I have mixed feelings about this decision. I feel that rebranding CityTargets as Target will work well as their product selection is similar in scope to a traditional Target store, but I feel that rebranding the Express stores will create guest confusion, as these stores are...

    A few years ago, a store was closed in Garland, TX outside of the usual store close cycle. However, the store was closed in response to another Target a couple of miles away being rebuilt as a SuperT, along with the store's location in a declining neighborhood and being an original store to the...

    On this thread: http://www.thebreakroom.org/index.php?threads/closing-super-targets.10693/page-2, someone was asking about about the status of the SuperT's discussed previously in this thread. Are there any updates as to the performance of these stores?
