Apple to open mini stores at Target locations?

News - By: SPBlast! Staff - January 07, 2012

According to Apple Insider, Apple may be planning to open retail stores within Target at 25 different locations. The small stores would allow Apple to reach smaller metro areas that wouldn't necessarily be able to support a full Apple Store.

According to a source familiar with Apple's plans, the company plans to begin operating Apple-branded areas within 25 larger Target stores in locations which can't support a standalone Apple Store.

The initial opening would be a small start, given that Target, the second-largest discount retail chain in the US, operates 1752 stores in the US. Apple has opened 359 of its own retail stores globally, 245 of which are in the US.


Apple currently has a similar deal with Best Buy, but adding Target to the mix would definitely give them a wider reach.
