Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) is pleased to announce the opening of a new store in Alamo Heights in October 2012. The general merchandise store will be one of the 19 stores the company plans to open in 2012.
 
The new store, located at the intersection of Austin Highway and Mount Calvary Drive, will offer guests the everyday essentials and exclusive brands they have come to expect from Target. In addition, it will include a selection of fresh produce, fresh packaged meat and pre-packaged baked goods to further enhance guests’ experience. The store will be approximately 135,000 square feet and employ approximately 200 team members.
 
“Target is excited to open its first store in Alamo Heights,” said Sid Keswani, Target’s senior vice president of stores in the South region. “Texas continues to be a great market for Target. We are committed to being a good neighbor and developing long-lasting relationships with guests and the Alamo Heights community.”
 
Target will host job fairs approximately two months prior to the new store opening, at which prospective candidates may apply and interview for open team member positions. Candidates may also apply online at Target.com/careers or at in-store kiosks located at all Target stores in July.
 
Target creates strong partnerships with local organizations in all of the communities where the company does business through Target’s community giving programs. This store will start a local grant program, contribute to the United Way and donate food to a Feeding America member, or approved agency. Target also encourages team members to volunteer their time to serve the needs of their community.
