New Target store coming to Scotts Valley

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. (KION) The City of Scotts Valley announced that it will be getting a new Target store in the coming years.

The store will open in the Scotts Valley Square Shopping Center in the building where Kmart used to be, according to the city. When Kmart closed, the city council wanted to fill the space, and they came to the conclusion that they wanted to bring in Target.

“We are thrilled to have Target open its doors in our shopping center,” stated Kevin Pratt, owner of the Scotts Valley Square Shopping Center, “Target will be a tremendous addition to the north Santa Cruz County retail options and I look forward to the many positive benefits it will create for other Scotts Valley businesses.”

The City hopes that the shopping center will be integrated with the future Town Center, which they forsee becoming a destination for residents to gather and relax, play and work.

Currently, the shopping center is in the planning phase for improvements.
