## Key points

- Target has added a grab-and-go snack bar to its SoHo store.
- The space has no seating or freshly cooked food.
- Some shoppers have criticised the renovation’s design.

## Summary

Target has opened a small, bodega-style snack bar at its renovated SoHo store in New York, offering quick bites and drinks from brands including Wilde and Cadootz. The move aims to make shopping more of a destination, but it is not a full food court like Costco’s: there are no seats or kitchen for hot meals.

The snack bar is exclusive to the SoHo location and includes a seasonal display of sweet and savoury products from Target’s Favorite Day brand. The renovation also added a food and drink area designed to resemble a modern city market and a homewares section called the Bullseye Loft. Some shoppers criticised the store’s bright red design, describing it as sterile and likening the experience to moving through an artery.
