The First Flex-Target of the Twin Tiers

Target hasn't been expanding crazily, but where they have is by means of their flex-format. The flex-format is designed to basically fit in an existing building without really changing the exterior all that much. Some minor exterior changes might happen, but nothing drastic. The stores can range from as small as around 10,000 sq. ft. to around 60,000 sq. ft. and given the space available sometimes even larger. The store's ability to be flexible in the amount of square footage is where the flex-format name gets its name.

The only flex-Target I know of in the blog's coverage area as of this writing is the State College location. The purpose of this store is to provide the nearby college campus students, workers or other people in the area a place to grab the basic necessitates, prescriptions from CVS or a Starbucks coffee. 

From what I can tell, it appears this building was built new with Target in mind but I very well could be wrong. Although not pictured, a H&M store also shares the building in a lower level thanks to a change in elevation.

This photo was taken from a second entrance along the street that bends and this area serves as a lobby for whatever was upstairs.

Wait a minute. Where's XYZ?
