Subtle Change Coming to Target Stores in Maine This November

Earlier this year, Target announced that some sweeping changes were coming to their stores across the United States.

Some of those changes would be more obvious than others. That included Target ending their partnership with Ulta and launching their own beauty studio within stores.

Another promised change from Target was expanding their grocery department at all Target stores that offer them. But shoppers across Maine will notice another subtle change on top of new items.

Target Will Have Dedicated Grocery Employees at Stores Across Maine

As Target works towards expanding their popular Good & Gather brand, some feedback from regular Target shoppers has inspired another change.

According to Supermarket News, one of the top complaints of Target shoppers who consistently shop for groceries at their stores was the lack of dedicated employees in the grocery section.

That will change at stores in Maine and across the country in November as Target will roll out dedicated grocery employees. You'll be able to spot those employees as they will adorn hats and aprons versus the typical Target employee outfit.

Target Has Been Quietly Changing Other Sections of Their Stores Across Maine

Beyond the introduction of the Target Beauty Studio, there have been some other subtle changes happening inside Target stores.

Target has been merging some of their departments including electronics, books and toys. Target will trim some of their electronics offerings where sales have slowed and increase stock of plushies, Legos and more unique toys and games that customers are more likely to be after.

Shoppers will also changes in the home goods and clothing sections.

From bedding to decorative items and more, Target plans to redo about 75% of their home goods department by the end of the year.

Target also plans to collaborate with more designers and feature unique items that customers can only find through Target. There will also be an advanced partnership with Levi's Jeans, which will be more widely available at Target stores nationwide.
