Linda Greenberg of Fort Mill and Charleston looked at the fuzzy gray pajama pants her daughter Lauren Clark contemplated buying and said, “Those are cute!”
The mother-daughter duo already had a shopping cart full of items at the Indian Land Target. Clark also had a few outfits for her little girl, who was standing nearby in a mermaid costume.
The new 149,000-square-foot Target — well above the companywide average of 125,000 square feet — opened Oct. 12. The Indian Land location is the second one in the Rock Hill region, with the other located at Manchester Village.
Other stores are in Charlotte and include locations in Pineville, Stonecrest and Steele Creek.
This store will employ about 170 people. The company’s starting wages range from $15 to $24 an hour. The location has a CVS pharmacy and Starbucks, along with a drive-up pickup, same-day delivery or next-day delivery throughout Indian Land.
“It’s exciting and inviting and a great location,” Greenberg said. “I think it’s everything you’d want in the Target and then some.”
Around the corner, Jenna Forminio picked up a large stuffed animal and said, “I want this one.”
The Charlotte resident was picking out decor for her dorm room at Appalachian State University. The college student said she usually shops at the Ballantyne store nearby.
“It’s really nice, modern, new and clean,” Forminio said about the Indian Land store.
A few aisles over, another mother-daughter duo perused baby necessities for Madison Wilburn, who is pregnant.
“I think this is something you’ll need,” said Amy Bocholis, Wilburn’s mother, who was looking at pacifiers. She then picked up a Boppy pillow.
The grandmother-to-be said she can go to the Blakeney store in Charlotte or the Rock Hill store, but the new Indian Land Target is more convenient.
“I’m so glad that it’s here in this area,” said Bocholis, who has already been to the store a few times. “It’s meeting a need that we really needed in Fort Mill.”
About Target
Target is among the nation’s largest retailers. The Minnesota company has almost 2,000 locations, The Herald previously reported. The company lists 33 more planned stores, including four in the Carolinas.
This fall, Target expects to open seven stores throughout the U.S. The retailer plans to open 300 stores over the next decade, according to a statement on its website. Target employs more than 400,000 people across all 50 states.
The new stores are part of a hub model that combines shopping in its stores with fulfillment of online or delivery orders, it said.
The Indian Land store is located at 5345 Crossridge Blvd. and is open from 7 a.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. on weekends, closing daily at 10 p.m.
