Extinct, or just well-hidden?
WEEK 27 – Carrollton, GA, Target (I)
In this pic we’re taking a straight-on look at the storefront, which had already received most of its new paint job and had its old Target logo removed, in favor of a temporary bullseye logo poster placed off to the left. The façade features the typical pronounced, rounded entryway area that a lot of mid-90s Target stores opened with, and as we’ve discussed, the inside will hold some fun classic traits as well.
With the June 2018 remodel, it is believed that the P93 décor package was erased completely from existence, as Carrollton seems quite likely to have been the very last store to still have it. However, going through BatteryMill's Target list briefly yesterday, I discovered that at least one other store – in Helena, MT – not only also had P93, but it, too, remodeled in June 2018. So, it’s still likely that P93 no longer exists, but hey: we thought Carrollton was the last store to have it; but if there’s a store out there that had it that we didn’t know about, then there’s at least a teeny-tiny glimmer of hope that it may still be out there today, and we don’t know about that, either! Just some food for thought to leave y’all with, as we wrap up the first five photos in this album :)
We’ll pick right back up here in two weeks, so be sure to stick around for that! (And by the way, just in case you were wondering: we do have a pretty good idea of how many P97 stores are remaining. The count stands at nine. Not sure about P01, P04, etc. Though I am interested, in case anyone else has any idea!)
In the meantime, next week – starting yet another brand new store tour…

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
