    These small format Target stores suck. That’s why they’re closing. They try to have the same number departments as a regular Target, but since they don’t have the space, they only ever have a limited selection of everything.

    It’s a broad, yet shallow selection of products. Most other small retailers focus on something and have a narrow selection of categories, but a deep array of products within those categories.

    I used to work for Target’s delivery company, and I always hated supporting those little stores. They’re a disaster.

      We don’t have them near me but I went on a trip last year and sadly forgot my belt… so I found a target to hit as it was the closest store near me. It’s the first time I saw this smaller version and I agree it was awful. They did not have a single belt. I hope they fail or at least rebrand because I would like to know that I am going to a butchered version of target before getting there so I can avoid it.

        Yeah, I don’t know why they didn’t just call them something different so people go in with different expectations.

        They’re more like a Super CVS than a Target.

          “Target Express”.

          They could possibly succeed if it was more like “order online and pick up” only, dumping the retail shopping space
