The One Thing Missing In Vermont Is Finally Arriving

It’s the latest buzz around all the the water coolers in Vermont… Target is opening a store in South Burlington in 2018. It’s caused a lot of debates over the years, but it’s finally happening. While some residents are delighted, others are certainly not on the bullseye bandwagon. Let’s take a look at some of the details of the new Target in VT. Let us know what you think about this development in the comments below!

In October 2018 there will be a new addition to the University Mall in South Burlington.

There have been talks about a Target moving to Vermont since 2010 and it has been met with much resistance.

Due to Act 250 which affects the environmental and community impacts of larger projects, the plan came apart in 2012. The proposal for the proposed 136,000 square-foot store was a no-go.

Now we can expect to see a small-format store at a more modest 60,000 square foot location.

This "small-format" store will be located in the space where the Bon Ton currently resides.
