Nearly 1,000 Target stores currently offer an expanded food layout, with approximately 10,000 sq. ft. dedicated to “fresh food choices, including a curated assortment of fresh produce, fresh packaged meat and pre-packaged baked goods, in addition to dry and frozen offerings,” said a company statement.
