Target UES

NEW YORK CITY—Target plans to open three small format stores in New York City as part of its nationwide strategy to attract younger shoppers. This includes expanding into urban areas, dense suburban neighborhoods and near college campuses where its traditional big box stores just don't fit.

The retailer is on track to have 130 small format stores nationwide up and running by the end of 2019.

The nation's second largest retail discount store will open small stores on Manhattan's Upper East Side, in Astoria, Queens and on Staten Island. These three stores will each employ approximately 50 to 100 workers.
