Manhattan to Welcome First Target Store

New York City, Target is finally coming to Manhattan. The much-anticipated and long-delayed shopping center, East River Plaza, in East Harlem has changed its anchor store from Costco Wholesale Club to Target, according to a report by The New York Times. The publication said Target recently signed a lease for 135,000 sq. ft. and will serve as an anchor along with The Home Depot.

Target has six stores in the city boroughs, with two more under construction. The shopping center is scheduled to open in 2008.
