If you work in the Dixie Hwy store mentioned in the past before yours, then yes.

It was just announced that the store on Dixie Highway in Louisville, KY will close before November 1st. According to media reports, many guests have been caught off guard by the closing, as this is the only store for miles in that portion of the city.

I looked their sales numbers up on Workbench.

No wonder it's closing...talk about ULV..sheesh

If tm transfer, do they keep their old wages or drop back to minimum?

 

[Kartman]

I'm pretty sure they keep their current wage.

Actually, they aren't closing before November 1st. At least that's what they have been telling all of us.

We are a low volume store, but that has nothing to do with the store closing. They actually rent the building it's located in and it's falling to pieces. I saw them closing it a while ago because it's just too much to keep up with. Sucks to see it go though. I love everyone there.

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.

Bigger and more selection than a normal Target, but not quite a SuperTarget.

I think most have been converted to Pfresh by now.

From another thread:

It was never remodeled, only has 2 aisles of grocery.

What's a Greatland?

My store is a greatland prototype. Built between oct 1993 to July 1999.
P type stores has softlines on one side & hardlines on the other, with one entrance only.
G type stores are greatland with softlines in the middle, hardlines surrounding it with 2 entrances.
P2001 were not greatlands! Sorry guys!
Rightsizing is the type fixtures used for the store square footage.
All good reading on workbench.

My girlfriend worked at that store a while back. One of the first stores in Columbus (and Ohio) built in the early 90's. Never been there but according to the gf the area has really went south. I believe it was also the district offices for the Columbus area stores.

I'll have to look into it, but I imagine theft at that location is one of the reasons it's being shut down.

The area has a dead mall & a casino. It has gone down hill over the years. Beautiful store inside.

Looked into it today. ULV and very high theft. Looks like there's more shoplifters than shoppers.

They did have everything locked in electronics. Now I know why.

They have the rare ETL-AP/APTL combo. Not many stores have that.

My store has that. My best friend doesn't have an etl/ap, just a aptl.

Pretty full of themselves if they think it's the last store to bear the "Greatland" logo.

"Possibly the last Target store"

 

[Retail Girl]

Yeah, not even close.

The Greatland by my house in Jersey was built in 2003 so I know Greatlands were built after 2001.

That sign is so weird.
