MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Target is pleased to announce plans to open a new store in Alameda, Calif., in October 2013. The new store will be located at the Alameda Landing Shopping Center at the intersection of Mariner Square Loop and Stargell Avenue. To date, Target has announced plans to open fifteen Target stores in 2013.

In addition, the store will include a selection of fresh produce, fresh packaged meat and pre-packaged baked goods to further enhance guests' shopping experience.

The Alameda location will employ approximately 200 team members.

Candidates may also apply online at Target.com/careers or at in-store kiosks located in all Target stores approximately three months prior to the new store opening.
