I can never forget the smell of Target popcorn

SET 1 – Horn Lake Target, October 2019 Tour

 

Aside from several repaints over the years, the exterior (which we were just looking at in the last three pics, but which I managed to completely talk over, as is somehow very typical for my photo descriptions!), is totally original to the store’s opening day on March 3, 1999. Likewise, as we head inside past the vestibule, we find that the store’s interior, too, remained 100% original for a wonderful (and surprising) 23 years and 11 months.

 

Food Avenue Express, the in-store café, occupied the front right corner of the salesfloor for approximately 21 of those years. This is my only picture of it for now, but fret not; we will circle back and revisit it, as well as my ominous statement on its longevity, once we’re done with the rest of our tour. As you can see, Food Avenue was very fun and colorful, with its confetti-themed neon, and served as a good harbinger of what was to come throughout the remainder of the store.

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 :)
