TARGET

Orlando-based Williams Company Southeast has started the remodeling of six Target stores in Florida and North Carolina, and it will complete a total of 19 locations in 2018.

Target went head-to-head with Amazon by hosting its own one-day promotional event online on July 17, which the company said drove its highest single day of online traffic and sales for 2018.

Target will offer consumers savings on such items as home, kitchen gadgets, beauty, toys, electronics, and more on July 17, via its website.

Called Studio Connect, the Target app solicits feedback from families throughout the product development process and the end result is better-designed merchandise that drives sales, reported Fast Company.

Target has expanded its “Drive Up” service, which allows shoppers to place orders via the Target app, to 200 additional stores across the Midwest and select other states.

Target will open a 50,000-sq.-ft. store in Brooklyn, at the intersection of Kings Highway and Foster Avenue.

The week-long mini boot camp accelerator program had 10 startups participate in workshops with Target and industry mentors who in turn shared advice on how to scale their brands to mass retail.

Quest Products’ Blue Guard Eye Health supplement — which is designed to protect eyes from the blue light that radiates from smartphones, tablets, computer screens, TVs and LED lighting — is now available at Target, the manufacturer has announced.
