Target Hiring For Soon-To-Be-Open Devon Location

DEVON, PA – Devon is set to get its own small-format Target store in October, but before the new store opens, it needs workers. And Target is hosting several hiring events in St. Davids to staff the new store.

The Devon store will hold hiring events Aug. 16 and Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 18 at the Radnor Hotel, 591 Lancaster Ave. in St. Davids.

"We are building a talented team of 75 new team members who will help us deliver a helpful shopping experience to the residents of Devon and neighboring areas," Jason Boettger, store team leader, Target said. "At Target, we value our people who help us serve the local community, and look forward to growing our team while providing them meaningful opportunities to build and develop skills for their careers."

Target is also hiring for its Broad and Washington store in Philadelphia Aug. 9 through Aug. 11 at The Bellevue Hotel, 200 S. Broad St. in Philadelphia.

These two stores mark the sixth and seventh small-format Target stores in the Philadelphia area.

Nationwide, Target has prioritized opening small-format stores to serve guests in urban areas, dense suburban neighborhoods and near college campuses with an experience that is tailored to meet their local needs.

The 56,000 square-foot Devon store – located at 704 W. Lancaster Ave. in Devon – will include a food and beverage selection with healthy food options for fill-in or stock-up trips, a broad beauty assortment presented in a boutique-style setting and a selection of home décor.

Additionally, more stores in Ardmore and Haddon Township, and more will open in 2018 and 20219.

Target offers market competitive wages to its team members in cities across the country and recently increased its minimum hourly wage and also offers various education benefits including tuition and GED reimbursement, to support team members’ continuous learning as they build skills for a lifetime.

Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the Target website here to apply in advance of the job fair date, and can also apply in person each day.

Store leaders will conduct pre-scheduled interviews with applicants and discuss Target’s dynamic, team-oriented culture.

Target's small-format store assortments are tailored to meet the needs of local guests. The retailer is on track to operate 130 small-format stores by the end of 2019, serving new guests in communities and neighborhoods where a traditional-sized Target store may not fit. Guests who shop Target's existing small-format stores open around the country have responded well to having these customized shopping experiences available in their neighborhoods.
