Description

Target is expanding its business model to include small format stores located in densely populated urban neighborhoods. For these new stores to thrive, Target needs to partners with the local stakeholders and communities and tailor-make the experience to the neighborhoods. As part of a national case competition, the presenting team was asked by Target to identify a specific neighborhood and develop a strategy for the location, design, and merchandising of a new small-format store, as well as address the ways to help the community integrate Target into their neighborhood. This presentation sets forth our proposal - to open a Micro-Target in the new Couture building located in East Town Milwaukee.
