You bet I'll shop there!
Delighted to have one near me!

Why! Why! Why! It's like putting K Mart there.

Looking forward to it comming, a nice place to shop. It is needed in our area.

It's going to be nice to not have to drive to Washington to buy Target-y things...but man. The traffic around the Village is going to get a LOT worse. I'll plan not to leave my house for most of December.

This is long overdue in our area. Target is awesome (and not like Kmart at all). It will be worth the increased traffic. I can't wait!!

Just wait until the Consol site is developed. Gridlock all day every day.

I assume that traffic will increase, but by how much is just a guessing game. Certainly, it's better to have a store like Target ( which is MUCH nicer than those dumpy K-Marts). than to continue to have that empty, sad-looking end of the mall remain.

As a former employee of the West Mifflin Target store, I may consider applying for a position at the South Hills Village location since it is much closer to where I live (with the added advantage of not having to travel through the construction zone at Brownsville/Curry Hollow/Broughton. It will be good to finally have that retail space occupied again.

I will not be visiting this store.

I love that this is finally being put to use. For those who don't like the idea of a Target going in there, what would you have rather seen?

Re; Nordstrom's; there is, of course, one at Ross Park Mall, and I would think that the Pittsburgh market can only support one Nordstrom's.
Ross Park Mall is a vastly superior mall to SHV, needless to say.
I don't get the anti-Target comments; it's not Nordstrom's, but it's not a Dollar General either. Also, I assume property taxes at that end of the mall go to USC?

Comparing Hornes/Boscov to Target is ridiculous. Not to mention there is going to be a 2 story Dick's Sporting Goods on top of Target. Yeah your right Roger, that won't draw any better Hornes or Boscov.

These threads are always interesting. Often, when a large national chain makes a proposal to establish a business in an area, there are protesting comments. They go along the line, "... another large national business coming to take away business from Mom and Pop stores ... just build somewhere else...." I think such comments were made very recently about the proposal for the area now housing Boston Chicken. The outrage is registered against the large national business because of the expected negative impact on the local owners.

Meanwhile, other large national businesses make a proposal, like the present one, and the entry into the local area is welcomed. Recently, a new restaurant was proposed at this site (Bonefish?), and the comments were very positive, "... great to see this coming, ... really liked the one in XYZ, and am happy to see them opening a place in this area ...."

The principle about "hurting local small business owners" seemed to be tempered by the name of the new retailer. If it a new retailer, such as Target, apparently, it is great to see a new store of national caliber because people like their offerings and business operations. If the new retailer is one that has products and business operations that people do not like, then the "hurting local ..." argument is advanced.

The assessment not about hurting local owners. The criteria is more about the desire for a local presence of the large national business.

I am so happy we are getting a Target at South Hills Village. I can stop there to shop after work. Thank you. Gloria from Bethel Park.

Roger get a life.
