Target is pleased to announce plans to open a new store in Pomona, Calif., in October 2013. The new store will be located on Rio Rancho Road and Auto Center Drive. To date, Target has announced plans to open sixteen Target stores in 2013.
The Pomona store will be approximately 140,000 square feet, and will offer guests the everyday essentials and exclusive brands they have come to expect from Target. In addition, the store will include a selection of fresh produce, fresh packaged meat and pre-packaged baked goods to further enhance guests’ shopping experience.
The Pomona location will employ approximately 200 team members. 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 in all Target stores approximately three months prior to the new store opening.
“California continues to be a strong market for Target, and we’re excited to expand our presence there in 2013,” said Cary Strouse, Target’s senior vice president of stores in the Western region. “Target is committed to being a good neighbor and developing long-lasting relationships with guests and the Pomona community.”
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.
