This Target store, located in a plaza directly across from Magic City Casino, is relatively new and took over the space formerly occupied for many years by a Kmart. This store is large, especially compared to the much smaller Targets that have been popping up in more residential and densely populated areas of the city, and it has a Starbucks inside.
I'd ordered a few items via the Target website for in-store pickup, and this location on NW 7th had what I needed in stock. Within about 50 minutes of ordering, I received a message saying my items were ready. I stopped the next day and was the second person in line at the customer service/order pickup desk. The guy noted my order number, gave me my stuff and I was back in my vehicle within 4 or 5 minutes of arriving. Parking is plentiful in the large lot here.
It'll be interesting to see how things develop in this shopping plaza in the future. The former Winn-Dixie here was downgraded to a Fresco y Mas a few years ago; Party City, Kmart and a few other businesses closed and lots of the remaining shops are not brand-name retailers. There also seem to be areas across the large parking lot where buildings that formerly housed other businesses were torn down. Either this Target will be the one reason many people come to this area to shop, or they're trying to use Target as an "anchor" to draw more customers, which may allow them to update and improve the rest of this plaza in time. read more
