Target Revamps SoHo Store for Fashion Focus
Target is revamping its SoHo store in New York City, shifting its focus to style merchandise like apparel and beauty products. This move comes as the retailer aims to boost its fashion credentials and follows a recent Instagram relaunch during New York Fashion Week.
Target's incoming CEO, Michael Fiddelke, has expressed a desire to reposition the retailer as a merchandising authority. The SoHo store redesign is part of this strategy, with the first phase set to open this fall without closing the location to the public.
The retailer has also expanded its holiday merchandise offerings, doubling the number of new items compared to last year, with over half being exclusive to Target. Additionally, Target has partnered with sportswear brand Champion, launching a 500-piece collection in August.
Despite a net sales decline of 0.9% year over year to $25.2 billion and a store comp decrease of 3.2% in the second quarter, Target remains optimistic about its fashion prospects. The current SoHo store focuses on essentials like toiletries and snacks, but the revamp will bring a fresh, style-focused approach to the area.
Target's SoHo store transformation is set to bring a new wave of style merchandise to the heart of New York City. With an expanded holiday collection, high-profile partnerships, and a renewed focus on fashion, Target is working to reestablish itself as a merchandising powerhouse. The rolling launch of the new store concept begins this fall, promising an exciting update for shoppers.
