Target Hiring 160 Employees For New Parsippany Store

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The new, small-format Target coming to Parsippany is looking to hire 160 employees before it opens in April, the company announced on Thursday. Interested applicants can apply online or at an upcoming job fair.

Target's minimum hourly wage is $11, and the company has pledged to raise that to $15 by the end of 2020.

“We are building a talented team of 160 new team members who will help serve families and residents of Parsippany. Target provides team members with meaningful opportunities to build and develop skills for their careers, and we look forward to growing our team to help serve the Parsippany community,” said MaryKate Geraghty, store team leader, Target.

You can apply online here. A job fair will be held at the Embassy Suites (909 Parsippany Boulevard) in Parsippany on the following days:

• Jan. 31 from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
• Feb. 2 from 10 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.
• Feb. 15 from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
• Feb. 16 from 10 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.

The new Target, located in the Troy Hills Shopping Center, is moving in to the old Pathmark location, and will be much smaller than what shoppers might be used to. Designed to carry only what local customers want, the small-format stores are usually located in dense suburban neighborhoods or college campuses, the company said.

In addition to the usual Target goods, it will also have a CVS Pharmacy, Starbucks, and Order Pickup, which allows online orders to be picked up in-store within an hour.

The new small-format Target is expected to be 65,100 square feet. For comparison, the typical Target is around 130,00 square feet, a representative told Patch. This is the second small-format Target in the state (Closter was the first).
