State's First Small-Format Target Store to Open In West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The first small-format Target store in Connecticut will soon be opening in Bishops Corner, and the retail giant will be conducting hiring events in mid-June.

The store is scheduled to open Aug. 18, 2019, and is now beginning to hire nearly 100 team members to help deliver a "great shopping experience for guests," company officials said. Interested candidates should apply at Target.com/careers ahead of job fairs taking place June 15 and 17.

The hiring events will be held from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn at 555 Corporate Drive in Windsor. Store leaders will conduct interviews with applicants. Walk-ins are also welcome.

“We are building a talented team of nearly 100 new team members who will help us deliver a helpful shopping experience to the residents of West Hartford and neighboring areas. At Target, we value the people who help us serve the local community, and we look forward to growing our team while providing them meaningful opportunities to build and develop skills for their careers,” store director Sarah Woodcock said in a news release.

In addition to market-competitive wages, Target also offers various education benefits, such as tuition and GED reimbursement, to support team members’ continued learning as they build skills for a lifetime.
