Heard on the Street: Remodeling project targets north Rochester retailer

About 11 years after it opened, Rochester's North Target store is getting a more than $2 million facelift.

Construction storage containers are lined up outside the store at 3827 Marketplace Drive N.W. and Target is adding more workers to supplement its staff during the remodel.

"Overall, it will create a fresher, newer look for our guests," says store manager Patti Scharpen.

Ryan Cos. kicked off the project earlier this month in the store's back-room area. It is expected to wrap up by the middle of June, Scharpen says.

The store's fitting rooms will be updated and relocated.

"We're moving around a few things to make the store flow better for guests," says Scharpen.

Infant and toddler clothing, equipment and diapers are also being being brought together from various areas around the store.

"We're creating a whole new Baby World area, which should be more convenient," she says.

Target is also making some changes in the frozen foods area with new coolers and the addition of new product lines.

New carpet, shelving and some freshening up of the Starbucks Coffee shop also are part of the project.
