    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.

      Pretty sad that they can’t just admit they didn’t work out as a business model instead of trying to blame it on “crime”.

        It’s very convenient for them. Everyone from DM up is a screaming out of touch conservative who (a) never wants to admit they were just shitty managers, and (b) it helps push the national image of their wealthy executives and shareholders which is to kiss Republican ass.

        I’ll never forget their smug faces coming in, checking out store on Thanksgiving. Each year it would just get earlier and earlier. They stopped in for like 20 minutes then peaced off back to their families.

      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.
