  • SuperTarget stores extend the Target brand beyond fashion and home décor by providing guests with a pleasant and convenient grocery shopping experience in addition to the traditional Target store experience.  SuperTarget offers a full grocery line, including a bakery and deli, meat and produce selections.  With an average size of 174,000 square feet per store, SuperTarget’s mix of grocery and merchandise delights our guests by offering the convenience of one-stop shopping.
