Target Corp. recently announced that it will open a new fulfillment center in Tucson, Ariz., for its on-line business, Target.com. Target is in the process of finalizing agreements to purchase land along the I-10 corridor on the SE side of Tucson to build a brand new 975,000 square-foot facility. Operations are scheduled to begin in Spring 2009.
Target selected Tucson for this facility based upon a variety of factors, including the availability of a skilled work force, transportation and infrastructure, quality of life, taxes, housing and real estate.
This is the second fulfillment center for Target.com. Target.com orders are currently fulfilled from centers operated by third-party vendors as well as a current Target fulfillment center in Woodbury, Minn. Target currently operates nine retail stores in the Tucson region.
"Tucson is a vibrant community and has a skilled workforce which makes it a great fit for us," says Mitch Stover, senior vice president, Distribution Services, Target. "We look forward to being a partner in Tucson's success and growth."
