Gallery: Target trials small Express footprint

Target Corp. opened its first TargetExpress in mid-July  — at 20,000 square feet it is the smallest store the discount chain has ever opened.  The store, located at ground level of an apartment building in the Dinkytown section of Minneapolis, near the University of Minnesota, is "an exciting opportunity to test and learn as we continue exploring new ways to meet our guests' needs," a company executive said.
