Target is hosting a job fair to hire 300 sales associates for its new State Street store scheduled to open in July.
The job fair, in which the public can submit applications and interview with store leaders, will be held from 7:30 am to 6 p.m. on Friday at the Palmer House Hilton. Candidates are encouraged to apply at Target.com/careers in advance.
The new, urban format CityTarget store will open in the vacant space at the landmark Sullivan Center at 1 S. State St, where Carson Pirie Scott & Co. had operated for more than a century.
Target will lease roughly 124,000 square feet over two floors and about 89,000 to the selling floor. The remainder will be used for employees, storage and loading. The average Target store is roughly 135,000 square feet, 100,000 of which is used for selling space.
