Then you have non-food items left (paper goods, soap, laundry detergent, etc.), well many of those same shoppers will get beauty/household goods from those same stores. And if your looking for clothes or specialty stores, you have the mall not too far away. I loved this Target, but it was ghost town everytime I went.Charmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-69034513927846906482017-07-01T18:54:08.671-04:002017-07-01T18:54:08.671-04:00It is back openIt is back openAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-41290637268757331402017-05-20T10:45:09.308-04:002017-05-20T10:45:09.308-04:00Costco would be nice.

Even though I have two other Targets that are closer I would go to Roswell because of the full grocery department. I wish they would keep it open. I love Publix but I save money on many items at Target, and the ones near me don't have full groceries.

Yes- That would be best scenario. Perhaps they could change it to be a regular Target and then lease out the other section, <br />If SuperTarget does close, what would you like to see open in its place? A Lifetime Fitness- since we can't seem to support retail- perhaps a really nice gym would be great- with an indoor swimming pool, etc. The space would certainly be big enough.

The one at Perimeter is always junky, dirty and not well stocked. And frankly the employees are about as friendly as snakes. However, this East Roswell Target is so much easier to shop and the employees are always nice. And more importantly, it's easier to get to. I live in East Dunwoody and getting into the Perimeter area is a nightmare. I hate to give my taxes to Roswell, but honestly - during certain times of the day, it takes 30 minutes to get from east Dunwoody to west Dunwoody or back. Much easier to go to Holcomb Bridge. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-57671275602219922442016-12-08T18:22:22.482-05:002016-12-08T18:22:22.482-05:00Anonymous,

I will say perhaps Target's earlier choice to support the bathroom debacle is part of their demise as patrons have boycotted this business. Again, it has nothing to do with who was recently elected for POTUS. Go crawl back under your rock.

I don't understand why this Super Target is being closed. It is always busy and is currently advertising that it is hiring with a HUGE sign on the front of the building. It is a very convenient outlet for a full grocery shopping trip to a quick stop for other miscellaneous needs on the fly.

I shop there at least weekly for everything except produce. Part of the problem is that Target is competing with three Krogers within a couple of miles & three Publix stores within about 4 miles. They do not turn over their produce fast enough to keep it fresh, thus no one buys it. Dry goods and non perishables don't seem to have the same problem because of the longer shelf life. The profit margin on a grocery store is very thin as it is. I hope the people who make decisions will reconsider.

So many of the storefronts in this relatively new strip mall have never been occupied, and definitely will not once the anchor store closes! Also, the nice townhouses they're still building will most likely have trouble selling once they realize they're looking at an abandoned strip mall!

With half million dollar homes being build a block of the road, and mid-300K townhomes just adjacent to the store, it seems that Target is really abandoning ship that isn't taking on water. Having this Target nearby encouraged shopping for me..even just to browse which would lead to purchases. What business will want to locate to the area with an empty Kohls and now this? Restaurants would be a nice addition to the area but unlikely, as they would be there already. Would have to think the developer would likely tear it down and build more townhomes on the property while they let the other tenant leases expire. BTW..thanks Target for lying to me on the phone. When a consume calls your corporate number to express concerns and give positive feedback about your store, give them the courtesy of the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
