Target wants to renovate a second Jacksonville retail store for its “reimagined” format that the Minneapolis-based chain calls its most ambitious store redesign to date.

The store at 10490 San Jose Blvd. in the Courtyard Shopping Center is in city review for a $1.1 million interior remodeling that would involve 70,000 square feet of the 138,286-square-foot store.

No contractor is listed. Cuhaci & Peterson Architects Engineers Planners of Orlando is the architect.

The redesigned stores, which Target calls its next-generation design, feature new elements and more technology and digital experiences. 

A spokeswoman said in January the remodels are customized to meet the needs of local customers.

Target, which operates more than 1,800 stores, said that by the end of 2019 more than a third of its stores will be remodeled as part of a more than $7 billion investment.

Target plans to update and renovate more than 1,000 stores by 2020. A spokeswoman said in January that the company remodeled 110 locations in 2017 and plans to renovate more than 325 stores this year.

The San Jose store was built in 2000.

Target also intends to renovate the Southside Square store at 9041 Southside Blvd. at a construction cost of $1.1 million, according to a pending city building permit. 

That store was built in 1991 and was one of the first to open in Jacksonville, along with the Regency area store at 444 Monument Road.

The eight Target stores in Duval County were built from 1991 to 2007.

Southside Boulevard Aldi hiring event

Aldi scheduled a hiring event from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at its 9041 Southside Blvd. store for store associate and shift manager positions.

Store associate pay is $12 an hour with an increase after six months of employment.

Shift manager pay is $16.50 an hour, with a base rate increase after six months.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, available to work anytime 6 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday-Sunday and able to lift 45 pounds.

Retail experience and a high school diploma or GED are preferred. There will be drug screening and a background check.

Employees averaging more than 25 hours a week are eligible for full health insurance benefits and dental coverage, while all employees can participate in the 401(k) program.

Aldi operates five discount stores in Duval and Clay counties and filed or indicated plans for five more.

The first to open were along Southside Boulevard, Normandy Boulevard and Town Center Parkway in Duval County and in St. Johns and Clay counties.

The next five comprise three planned in Duval County in OakLeaf and along San Jose and Atlantic boulevards and one each in Clay and Nassau counties.

Cushman & Wakefield negotiates Smith Hulsey & Busey lease

Cushman & Wakefield represented Smith Hulsey & Busey in lease negotiations for 23,000 square feet of space on the 32nd and 33rd floors of the 37-story Wells Fargo Center Downtown at 1 Independent Drive.

Cushman & Wakefield Senior Associate David Hillegas and senior directors Buddy Register and Bob Retherford represented Smith Hulsey & Busey in the lease. The landlord is WFC Lessee LLC.

The real estate company said lease negotiations were nearing completion as Hurricane Irma hit Florida in September, causing the Wells Fargo Center to close for nearly a month.

It said the team worked with the tenant and landlord to complete lease terms as soon as the property was back in service.

Smith Hulsey & Busey will relocate in November from nearby One Enterprise Center, where it has been a tenant since 1986. Stephen Busey is chairman of the firm.
