Chain retailer Target announced last week that it will unveil a series of upscale mini in-store shops this spring. “The Shops at Target” will re-create the ambiance of choice regional stores discovered by Target’s in-house design team. The first crop of shops, which will launch online and in stores on May 6th, will be inspired by The Candy Store in San Francisco, Aspen-based Cos Bar cosmetics shop, Boston’s Polka Dog Bakery’s dog accessories, Warren, CT-based Privet House home products and The Webster, a 20,000-square-foot luxury boutique in Miami that sells luxury apparel, jewelry and accessories brands. Additionally, the retailer announced that its recent partnership with Apple will result in the launching of 25 Apple mini shops.
