In many locations, the remodel includes an expanded dry grocery selection, as well as everyday essentials and pantry staples. (Some locations will also get larger fresh and frozen food sections.) And in select locations, Target is introducing natural refrigeration systems, more efficient lighting and HVAC systems that not only help reduce emissions but also energy costs.
