Target won city approval to renovate its Mandarin store to its “reimagined” concept featuring new interior designs.
The 138,286-square-foot store in the Courtyard Shopping Center at 10490 San Jose Blvd. will be remodeled at a construction cost of $1.76 million.
It is the second Target to be remodeled. Project contractor Fulcrum Express Inc. of Atlanta previously won approval to renovate the 115,231-square-foot Target at 9041 Southside Blvd. in Southside Square, also at a construction cost of $1.76 million.
The work includes interior and façade upgrades.
Elements include enhanced merchandise presentations throughout the store, including updated décor, modern fixtures, mannequins and specialty lighting; an updated order pickup and guest service counter; and a specialty beauty-products display and environment.
“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 stores to give guests an experience that’s easy and inspiring,” said a spokeswoman in a previous statement.
Target plans to fully renovate more than 300 stores annually over the next few years, but has not indicated which other Jacksonville area locations would be remodeled.
The Minneapolis-based chain intends to update and renovate more than 1,000 stores by 2020.
Corporate.target.com reports it is undertaking a remodeling program it calls the next generation of store design.
The eight Target stores in Duval County were built from 1991 to 2007.
The Southside Square and 444 Monument Road locations were built first. The San Jose store was developed in 2000.
