Archived Target openings through 2019 being smaller stores.

<<Nearly all of its planned openings through 2019 are small formats, which is less than 50,000 square feet.>>

Saw this written online.

Is it true that nearly all of Target's planned openings through 2019 are the smaller, less than 50,000 square feet stores?

According to a user here that saw an article written online, this is true.

While I can't give away my store, I am in one of the last full-sized stores to open. Our area grew enough that Target, felt there was enough demand for another location 12 minutes away.

If Target does not turn things around soon they might not be around in 2019.

Sales have been hurting for a while now. Target seems to have bad management, and be making a lot of mistakes. If the company does not shape up soon it could be gone soon.

@greg yarms Target's not shutting down anytime soon buddy. Hence the newly opened stores every year. Failing companies close doors and don't open new ones. See: K-Mart.

Target's opening a "Flexible Format" store in my area next month.
Marin City Target store to open in March
Everyone is expecting this location to be an absolute nightmare. Marin City has one of the worst crime rates in the entire Bay Area. They're sending every single APS in the district to that store for two to three shifts a week for the first couple of months because our DTL wants, and I quote, "Word to get out that Target isn't the place to go to steal."
The Best Buy location they're taking over? Best buy declined to renew the lease because the the amount of theft from that location was too high.

Spot still has money to burn before they crash and burn.
When they start getting a new CEO every year and have a new obnoxious marketing scheme every month, then you are looking forward to the fast slide.

You can argue Target is struggling but it is far from doomed. Places like Kmart, Sears and Fred Meyer will go completely out of business before target does.

My APS was offered APTL at that store, so one would assume that it's getting everything, ETL-AP and APTL.

I'm curious to see what the full AP staffing will be like once they open up. As in, how many people per position.

that exists?

 

[TallAPGuy]

that exists?

In the super-duper-ultra-high-risk stores. @On6 works at one of those stores, IIRC.

It's rare but we do have both ETL AP and APTL.

 

[APMonster]

@On6 and a senior APS?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Yes, they are.

Without giving away my store I'll just say we have more than one APS as well as multiple TPS positions.
