Target at Southside Square will be one of the more than 1,000 stores the Minneapolis-based chain will update and renovate by 2020.
“The reimagined stores will feature Target’s most ambitious store redesign to date, featuring modernized design elements and bringing more technology and digital experiences to our store to give guests an experience that’s easy and inspiring,” said spokeswoman Liz Hancock in an email.
Hancock said Target remodeled 110 stores in 2017 and plans to renovate more than 325 locations in 2018, including some in Florida.
She did not say whether other Jacksonville area Target stores will be remodeled and she did not have a time frame for the Southside Square project.
“Once the remodel is underway, we can provide more information on remodel scope and timing,” she said.
A building permit is pending for the job.
No contractor is listed for the $1.1 million project, referred to as the 2018 remodel. Cuhaci & Peterson Architects Engineers Planners is the architect.
Exterior façade renovations also are planned to the 115,231-square-foot store at 9041 Southside Blvd.
Corporate.target.com reports it is undertaking a remodeling program it calls the next generation of store design.
“And across the country, our remodels will be customized to meet the needs of local guests,” Hancock said.
Target operates more than 1,800 stores.
Target said that by the end of 2019, more than one-third of its stores will be remodeled as part of its more than $7 billion investment.
Businessinsider.com reported in November that many of the stores will feature two entrances – one for quick trips and one for more leisurely visits.
The first next-generation store opened in Richmond, Texas, it said.
The quick-trip entrance provided access to grab-and-go food, a shop for wine and beer, self-checkout lines and a pickup counter for online orders.
The site said the other entrance featured a mix of merchandise from the other departments, such as home, jewelry, beauty and apparel and accessories.
