Target makes it signage official on Union Square

Workers today are putting up the coming-soon signage for Target at 10 Union Square East in the base of the Zeckendorf Towers. (Thanks to @AshmiNYC for sharing via Twitter!)

No word on an opening date... though this location is hiring for various positions.

And to recap... in February 2020, news broke (via the Post) that Target had signed a lease for a 33,000-square-foot store here. The current tenant, Food Emporium, had a lease until April 2023. Ultimately, the grocer shut down early — in May 2021. 

As previously noted, the space that was once pub-crawl hotspot SideBar on the SW corner of 15th Street and Irving Place is now part of this Target footprint... where demolition got underway in the summer of 2021. 

Meanwhile, the Target on 14th Street and Avenue A turns 5 this month.

    And what perfect timing considering we are in the golden age of retail theft. I look forward to tripping over their housewares on 14th Street.

    Walmart has no place in NYC. Target is just fine.

    Disappointed to see another Target in Lower Manhattan. So many people walk around with Target bullseye totes like a status symbol. And all I can wonder is what did they buy? I actually avoid shopping at Target.

    The best thing about Target is they give you those free tote bags. I know you’re supposed to pay for them, but I doubt that many people actually do. You can even take extras while checking out and they won’t say a thing. They are great for garbage and recycling bags and make a great Christmas gift. I also look forward to shopping for their health and beauty supplies in the open air market on 14th St. You can’t beat the prices.
