Downtown Seattle has two new retailers setting up shop. Target is in the works on second and Union right now. It is fun watching the vacant space transform into a familiar dry goods store. I am looking forward to seeing the distinctive red bulls eye go up. I'm excited because now I won't even have to get in the car for laundry soap and toothpaste!
JC Penney is making a come back to Seattle's urban core. I was pleasantly surprised to read about it in today's' Seattle Times. According to the news, Penney's will be a mere block from the new Target location on Third and Pike, ln the landmark Kress building where many of us shop at the IGA for grocery staples.
Both the Target and Penney store will be about half the size of their standard department stores. The Urban shopper concept has taken off well for both retailers, and the growth spurt we are seeing in downtown Seattle is allowing more moderate clothiers than Nordstrom and Barney's the opportunity to thrive in the downtown retail core!
Just another reason to love Living in Seattle!
