Just saw this tidbit on an email from Jim Graham announcing Target jobs to the Columbia Heights listserve:
We have also been informed that Target will open some 100 positions in the near future. Target is opening a full grocery store in July and extra staff is required.
The City Paper has more, saying the store will expand, taking out some adjacent retail spots, will have “more grocery-type items, including produce,” and that it will be similar to the Target at Potomac Yards. The article also mentions those changes could make it an alternative to the long lines at Giant.
I’m in favor of that, and I try to do as much grocery shopping at Target anyway, but I wonder if this is also a reaction to Ellwood Thompson’s?
