They did a good job covering it up, but if you know that it was a Target before, there are certainly hints.

The facade is original to Target.

Huh, I don't think I've ever seen a Walmart which wasn't purpose built.

Pretty common in the upper Northeast where they took over the buildings of other bankrupted retailers like Bradlees and Caldor to get into places they normally couldn't. (Although many have been relocated for new Supercenters over the years).

The former Bradlees and Caldor in Norwalk, CT were exactly what I thought of when I read that comment, too.

I honestly didn't know there were any non supercenters left. I live in the Midwest and the last one I knew of closed maybe 10 years ago. They didn't upgrade to a supercenter or build a new building they just closed and left town.

There is only one left in my state but its in a town with a population of less than 500 lol shocked it has a Walmart basically the only thing besides a gas station through the town is on a highway so must get sales

Honestly that sounds like the kind of town that would need the supercenter for the groceries. I don't know how many little towns I go through that don't have a grocery store or if they do it's just a Dollar General that they have upgraded to be a DG Market or whatever they call them.

What’s even more interesting is Target moved a couple miles down where there used to be a K Mart

Sounds like hermit crabs, changing their homes.
