Target/Decor packages

Some packages may be referred to with "Gxx" or "Sxx" distinctions, respectively standing for implementations within Target Greatland and SuperTarget stores.

P86 (1986-9x)
Tenative name

P97 (1990-2000)
In 1999, Target enhanced grocery departments within new SuperTarget stores. Skylights were also implemented above produce in select stores. The design remained through the P04/S04 package, where SuperTarget grocery departments would revert to a conventional decor design resembling other departments.

P01 (2001-03)
P01 served as a refresh of the previous P97 design,

P04 (2003-08)
The package made a test debut at the Greeley, CO store (T-18 ) in October 2003. P04 was formally launched in March 2004 alongside new stores.

stands as one of Target's most dramatic overhauls to their in-store branding. The "color worlds" that defined Target's departments and team member practices for

Instead of a near-continuous line of neon featured previously, wall lighting fixtures were now separated into two. Of those fixtures was a half-bullseye (resembling Target's logo), and a curve terminating at 45 degrees.

Early P04 SuperTarget stores' layouts were carried over from S01,

March 2007 update
The beverage fountain/utensil station area, previously abutting the entranceway (facing Starbucks), was shifted between the Café and Starbucks counter (now facing the checkout lanes). New SuperTarget stores maintained the original placement of the station.

A new layout and signage update was introduced for SuperTarget stores, having first been piloted at the Fridley, MN store (opened October 2006). The new configuration, referred to as "SuperTarget Split", eschewed the traditional Greatland/SuperTarget layout for a blueprint resembling standard Target stores of the time. Softlines departments moved to the far side of the store, in front of the general merchandise entrance. Hardlines departments previously occupying said portion of the salesfloor (electronics, toys, sporting goods) now were now aligned along the rear actionway, with home/furnishing departments (once in the back) filling in the center store's former softlines space. Other articles of interior design were also revised, with new "canoe" grocery aisle markers (akin to signs elsewhere in the store) replacing the previous triangular models. Actionways were also slightly adjusted, with the grocery aisle being widened and red stripes being removed from in front of the pharmacy.

October 2007 update
This revision to the P04 decor package, as well as others in the following year, served as a basis to the succeeding P09 package. Numerous changes were made to provide for experimentation and eventual transitions into the next package.

Ceiling lighting fixtures were upgraded from using gray reflective covers revealing three rows of lighting, to now having two-row triangular plastic covers. This helped cast a brighter light than the previous setup. The electronics section was another key focus within this mid-generational update. A redesigned flat-top "boat" focused primarily on guest service, lacking camera/portable electronic displays as opposed to before. The department was also redesigned to locate the core electronics section (TVs, cameras, accessories) next to softlines, trading places with aisles of books that were located there prior.

In certain 2008 openings/major remodels, the pharmacy

Select new store openings in the October 2008 batch, as well as remodels of existing stores conducted around the time, dropped use of the half-bullseye neon, solely utilizing the curved neon piece. The latter fixture would carry over into the P09 package.

P09 (2008-13)
This package is most notable for being introduced alongside PFresh, a concept delivering expanded grocery selections to non-SuperTarget stores.

The P09 decor package and layout was first tested at two new stores in Target's native Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The Waconia Target and Otsego SuperTarget stores opened in October 2008, featuring a basic version of the package.

As opposed to said package, however, Target took a conservative approach to the store's design. The in-store café received updated decor and paint, taking a modern turn with red walls and minimalistic fixtures as opposed to

Stores with P04 retained their wall decor and overall appearance. Signs were replaced and added in to fit with new PFresh aisle markers.

For 2010, Target exchanged interior curved neon for lantern fixtures. Select SuperTarget/Target Greatland remodels, however, continued to implement neon wall decor; curved neon also continued to be implemented within vestibules through the P13 era.

Store maps were revised for 2012; a flat gray design, and served as a precursor to Target's later map designs.

For Target's July 2013 store openings, new checkout models would be introduced.

P13 (2013-15)
Target Canada. The package made its debut in United States stores in fall 2013, serving primarily as a signage refresh of the previous P09 package. No new changes

P04 stores receiving PFresh upgrades also carried over their wall decor and general design into this package. This would be the last package under which PFresh would be introduced to existing stores; this remodeling program was
