Target to open new store in Canton

Target Corp., the Minneapolis-based department store chain, announced plans to open a new store in Baltimore in October 2013. The new store, in the Canton Crossing Shopping Center on Boston Street, will be Target’s second in Baltimore proper, and its sixth store in the Baltimore region.

The new store will be approximately 135,000 square feet, and will employ about 200 people.

The company said it will host job fairs two months in advance of the new store opening, and will accept applications for available positions online or at in-store kiosks approximately three months before the new store opens.
