The "small-format" store concept is being pushed by Target as it expands from the suburbs into dense urban neighborhoods, according to the release.
The new store will also offer an order pickup service that allows shoppers to purchase products online and pick them up at the store, according to the press release. The new Herald Square store is part of Target's push to invest in New York City and open 70 stores within the city.
