Target

This Target in Central Square is a Cambridge branch of the national retail chain, offering home goods, clothing, electronics and more under one roof. The chain is known for exclusive designer collections, limited-edition collaborations with outside designers that sit alongside its wide range of in-house brands for clothing, home and food. The Central Square store gives the neighborhood a large general-merchandise option for everyday shopping close to home.

Target is based in Minneapolis and grew out of the Dayton’s department store company, opening its first Target-branded store in 1962. The chain now operates stores across the United States and pairs them with online ordering, so shoppers can buy online and pick up their orders at a store or have them delivered. Across its stores, the chain also sells groceries, household essentials, beauty products and seasonal goods, though the selection varies by location.
