Nope, an engineer would have come up with this in two weeks.it looks like they gave an engineer the design and locked them in a room for a year.
Do they have like visible metal? Those are the ones basically all remodeled stores have. I've never ever seen these abominations.We got new plastic carts somewhat recently, but they're a similar as the old ones and have round cupholders. I've never seen carts like that anywhere with a sort of "basket" for the baby that flips up...
My store, too. We even had a line of broken ones in the parking lot. Here we go again, get those red tags ready…🙄The all-plastic carts did NOT hold up well at my store. We had so many tagged & sitting in the back waiting for parts.
Maybe they're trying to discourage kids from riding on the bottom. I've seen so many 'cart surfers' on our current ones.Not really a big enough space on the bottom for larger items...looks too small even for diapers or toilet tissue.
I still think those carts look a little funky... but I suppose I can get used to themI did some more digging, these are indeed the next-gen carts that will be rolling out to stores over the upcoming years. Remodel/new stores will be receiving these carts first. This Minnesota store in particular was selected as a pilot store for the new Katy, TX store that opened today as the new Next-Gen store (Think of it as SuperTargets making a comeback).
I wouldn’t call it a SuperTarget comeback, but I would say it is full chain stores making a comeback. The Katy store is 20K SF larger than a “traditional” PFresh, but 30K SF smaller than the last generation of Super Targets. The extra space appears to be going to OPU space, backroom replenishment space (surprising - considering they are constantly throwing Montel bays into our remodel stores, it’s almost like they see the flaws…), and finally their latest “shop within a shops” (Ulta, Disney, Apple.)I did some more digging, these are indeed the next-gen carts that will be rolling out to stores over the upcoming years.

^This.My PML will be pissed when we get these, he was always fixing the old ones. Since we got the metal/plastic hybrids he has maybe had to replace a few wheels and only a handful have gotten to the point of being unfixable.

I may be in the minority, but I’m happy to see a “real” Target being the priority, and not small format stores.
Based off 1 former Greatland location that I know of (that has since been remodeled, obviously), it’s close to Greatland size (130K SF.)Would you say that it's similar to (Former) Target Greatland stores in terms of size? Target Greatland was sort of an in-between of Target and SuperTarget which were built in the 90s and early 2000s. They were similar in size to a Super, had two sets of doors like a Super, Checklanes in a row rather than stacked like a Super, but lacked the Bakery/Deli/Expanded Produce section that Supers had.
