[Photo Story] Downtown Target Is Everything We’ve Ever Wanted

Ever since the opening date of the new Target was announced, we’ve been restless and eager. Who isn’t thrilled about a new place to shop for groceries downtown? Especially this new option, which boasts a Starbucks and won’t take a huge stab at your wallet like some other nearby alternatives.

Target downtown opened its doors to the public for the first time last night and we made sure we were there. Didn’t get a chance to head down? No worries — we’ll take you on a tour of the glorious and squeaky clean Target on West Beaver Avenue.
