Here's What Target's $10 Million Renovation Of Nicollet Mall Store Will Look Like

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Target is announcing plans to invest in a $10 million, full renovation of the company’s downtown Minneapolis flagship store, located on Nicollet Mall, and centrally located to its headquarters offices.

The Minneapolis Nicollet Mall Target store, which opened in October 2001, will remain open during the store’s remodel, the company said last week. Construction will begin in March, with the enhancements being complete by early September.

The store’s top-to-bottom overhaul will feature modern décor elements, including stenciled concrete floors, wood plank walls and elevated merchandise assortment displays, according to a news release.

Additional enhancements to the Nicollet Mall store will include:

• Grocery: On the street level of the store, guests will be greeted with a robust, fresh assortment, including convenient grab-and-go food and beverage options.
• Enhanced merchandise presentations: Inspiration and style will be emphasized on the store’s second level with updated mannequins and displays in apparel, home and beauty.
• Order Pickup: On the store’s second level, a dedicated and expanded Order Pickup area will provide guests with an easy and seamless experience to pick-up online orders.
• General store makeover: Additional updates to freshen up the store will include LED lighting and refreshed, gray paint instead of red.
• An expanded Starbucks and CVS Pharmacy
• Additional self-checkout lanes

Target’s other Twin Cities locations that will undergo complete store renovations include the Saint Paul Midway store (complete July 2017) as well as the St. Louis Park Highway 100 store (complete April 2017).

Additionally, 22 other Twin Cities Target stores will receive smaller remodel updates throughout 2017, including the addition of more self-checkout lanes, updated home and grocery departments, among others.

“Target’s Nicollet Mall store is one of our top performing stores in Minnesota, so we’re excited to invest in a full store remodel for this location to create a distinctive shopping experience for the downtown community,” said Mark Schindele, senior vice president, Properties, Target. “From an updated, robust grocery department, to elevated style presentations throughout the store, we think guests will feel welcomed and inspired with the beautiful enhancements we have planned for our flagship Minneapolis store."
