Target expands in-store TV system to offer health-and-wellness information

NEW YORK Target hopes to promote health and wellness through an expansion of its in-store television system.

The chain has offered its Channel Red service in stores since 2005, when it debuted in the electronics departments. Feedback from customers has been favorable so far. Target began expanding it to pharmacy departments in 100 stores in February.

The service advertises various products, emphasizing those related to health and wellness.

Based in Minneapolis, Target operates 1,613 stores in 47 states.
