New Small Format Target Store Open For Business In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Philadelphia has a new retailer for shoppers to peruse, as the small-format Target store on South Broad Street is now open.

On Sunday, Oct. 21, the new Target location opened its door to the public. A new small-format store opened in Devon the same day, as well.

The Philadelphia store has a range of products, including men, women, and children's apparel; home and decor essentials; food and beverage options, including fresh produce, grab-and-go items, snacks and meal solutions; and an assortment of health, personal care and beauty products.

Also, the 36,000-square-foot Philadelphia store features CVS Pharmacy.

The location offers Order Pickup, where 95 percent of online orders can be picked up in store within an hour.

Nationwide, Target is reaching new guests by opening small-format stores in urban areas, dense suburban neighborhoods and near college campuses. These smaller stores allow Target to open in areas where a full-size Target might not fit.

"Philadelphia-area guests have given our small-format stores a very warm reception, and we look forward to providing even more guests with a customized and convenient, one-stop shop experience," Mark Schindele, senior vice president, Properties, Target, said. "We'll provide a curated assortment of groceries, beauty products, and more, as well as convenient pick-up point for online orders."

This is Target's ninth small-format store in the area, joining existing Target stores at Rittenhouse Square, Washington Square West, Roxborough and Philadelphia Art Museum.

This Target store is employing about 75 people.

The small-format Target is located at 1020 S. Broad St.
