On a slow day to compare it to ours.
It does though. Well, what I should say is... the higher the volume, the stronger the magnification of the leadership effectiveness as a collective.It seems to me the extra help wouldn't offset the extra freight and work, give me low volume anyday
I’ve worked in both and once you get to like 80-90 M it gets easier. The payroll and resources are unreal. Even on the worst days you have so many people to just throw at the problem is easy to pick up. The mid volume stores I’ve worked in have been the hardest and they’re a lot more fragile.It seems to me the extra help wouldn't offset the extra freight and work, give me low volume anyday
HOW MANY REGISTERS AND SCOS DO YOU HAVE?I'm in a HV store. It's busy, especially during holidays or inclimate weather, but tbh, I honestly don't notice it since I became my store's main line buster. The biggest problem our store has is Call outs / NCNS, which on a bad day can be absolutely miserable because the SETLs are basically begging for backup all day. I like it though. I've been to a few other Spots in my area that are low to mid volume and have discovered that I'm happy with my current store, even if it can go into super clusterfuck mode at times.
Both of these stores are local to me and I can tell you the Annapolis store is insane.The largest Target store in the United States as of 2021 is located in Annapolis, Maryland. This store is listed as being over 200,000 square feet in area, compared to the typically sized Target store which is usually averaged at around 130,000 square feet.
If you want to learn more about the difference between a normal Target and a SuperTarget, which city and state have the most Target stores, and much more, keep on reading!
How Big Is The Biggest Target Store?
The largest Target store is just over 200,000 square feet whereas the largest SuperTarget is located in Hoover, Alabama, and measures at around 191,000 square feet, with almost 4.5 acres under one roof.
In addition to that, the Target store located in The Valley Forge Shopping Center in King of Prussia (Pennsylvania) is measured at approximately 165,000 square feet.
I'm at a high volume store. On track to break $90 mil. 190k square feet. 14 checklanes 12 SCO (8 green side 4 blue side)HOW MANY REGISTERS AND SCOS DO YOU HAVE?
We have 16 checklanes, 16 SCOs (8 grocery, 8 GM) plus 2 line busters and even that doesn't feel like enough sometimes.HOW MANY REGISTERS AND SCOS DO YOU HAVE?
Holy smokes!What exactly do you want to compare? I work in the busiest Chicago store, which is one of the busiest Targets in the country. For a while, we were always in competition with Brooklyn in NY for the #1 spot, but I'm sure other stores have overtaken the top spots, though not certain.
As far as registers, we have 20 registers and 20 self-checkouts. We get two trucks and a p-fresh truck every single night. Some days we get a 3rd truck with the p-fresh. During the holiday season, triples are the norm, and four trucks are not rare. So we have a pretty giant overnight team. Sometimes we get 3 trucks overnight and another two trucks will show up during the day LOL those early Covid days were rough! We have about 230-240 TM's, and we're still hiring, LOL. I don't know the exact number, but we have around 25 team leaders and about 12 ETL's.

Green and Blue refer to old nomenclature from the Greatland/Early Super days, pre 2006, when the Grocery Doors were Green and the GM doors were Blue. All stores with colored doors should have/will get them recolored in the current remodel that has been going on in stores since 2017.green/blue? we have we have 10 checklanes, 4 scos nd we're ulv to lowvlume.

I don’t know what some of these people are talking about but I’ve worked in 100+m, 85+m, and a small format store where your team members have to do multiple departments.
Small format is incredibly easy in comparison to me. People saying you have plenty of resources to toss at problems in a big store is news to me. You never have what you really need. The difference is I noticed huge stores make leaders resilient. They’re better at quickly putting out fires and adapting because every day is a battle.
When I was at a small format store it was so easy. I’ll take that over unloading 4 trucks in one day, dawn of the dead lines, guest fighting, picking 6000+ units of ship, trying to maintain metrics with so much freight beating you in the head, etc. Low Volume store do have their own challenges though. Don’t think it’ll be all sweet. I just didn’t find any of the challenges that difficult because of my experience in bigger stores
One thing is for sure though, it’s not boring at least.
Fully remodeling a $90m store is what I just did and Jesus Christ…BRUTALITY!
Did you have issues with shortage of fixtures (assuming it was around COVID time)? That had to be rough
I hope so cause current stores can't order anything we need. Target expects us to magically have everything. I'm hoping they send us some sticky dividers for HBA transition. We are completely out.I’m hearing some Flight 5 remodels might get delayed because of COVID’s affect on fixtures.
