Target North Attleboro MA Remodel (04/23/2018)

Now that the Target in North Attleboro MA is remodelling to the new redesign. Target is now starting to remodel their Southeastern New England stores. The first four in and near Rhode Island will be located in North Attleboro MA (Store #1190) (Currently Remodeling), Smithfield RI (Store #1404) (Remodeling in June 2018),  Lincoln RI (Store #2073) (Remodelling in 2020 and currently have A&A {Accessories & Apparel} 2.0), and Warwick "Bald Hill Plaza" (Store #1188) (Remodel not announced). Target is planning to remodel another 996 stores as part of their remodelling plans as an addition to the 110 that remodelled in 2017 (None were around RI and Southeastern MA). I figured if I checked North Attleboro's remodel today and see what's been going on. The remodel is expected to be finished between June-September 2018

Their Exterior on 04/23/2018. It's not going to look like this for long.The letters look faded as they will be replaced with the same exterior logo as the Wilmington NC Target has (They only have A&A 2.0 and E&E 2.0).

Here's photos of North Attleboro during their remodel (04/23/2018):


R.I.P Target Cafe (1999-2018)

Coming Soon: A&A (Accessories & Apparel) 2.0

The signage that is normally there was taken down temporally for new grey paint which will be applied in the coming weeks.

Here's where the Tech Counter is now.

Heading to see the area where the tech counter was. Target Team Memebers call it "The Boat" at this location (Lincoln has the same exact counter.

"Big changes in store Can't Find Something? Just ask."

Here's where the tech counter used to be

"Upgrades in store

Big Changes Coming in
Electronics & Entertainment."

Here's where I think Enterance #2 will go. Redesigned Targets have 2 enterance. One Main Enterance and another for Grab & Go. A very unique idea Target. There are Coustomers who want to go in and out quickly so I think it's an excellent idea ;). P97 and P01 are still my favorite Target store designs because the neon looks awesome (Kinda rare to find a Target with P01. My nearest P97/P01 is the Salem MA Target (Former Caldor/Kmart).

North Attleboro Target store map. I'll recreate this map.

Checkout Lights. They look kinda cool. I do like how the numbers light up. They've been there since the first remodel in sround 2011.

Pricing tag, a nice idea for price comparison 😉

This is the status of the store's remodel on 04/23/2018. There will be a blog about when the remodel is complete. There will also be a blog of the Smithfield Target's remodel in the coming months as well (It's starting in 2 months).

Kmart Matamoras PA (03/09/2018)

The Kmart in Matamoras PA opened in 1993 as a relocated store for the Port Jervis NY location whcih opened in around 1976 as a former Grants store. This location is the Main Anchor for the Westfall\ Town Center. This Kmart is 115,339 Sq.

First Set of Exterior photos

Here's the exterior when you're on the nearby Highway. Looks like the mirrored version of the new closed Boston MA Store (Kmart #7605) on 7 Allstate Rd (Located where Target is now).
