Target Corp. is planning to close its store in Orange Park at 1919 Wells Road, the company announced Friday.
The store is among eight Target stores nationwide that will close May 3, the company said in a news release. The store in Orange Park is a SuperTarget, which includes a full grocery selection, deli and bakery.
The stores are closing "after careful consideration of each location’s financial performance," Target said in the release.
A Target spokeswoman said 150 people are employed at the store. Eligible employees at the store will be offered an opportunity to transfer to a similar position at a nearby Target location, though the spokeswoman declined to disclose the eligibility requirements of Target's transfer policy.
There are SuperTarget stores in Ortega, near Naval Air Station Jacksonville and in the OakLeaf Town Center, as well as a Target store in Fleming Island.
Super Target stores are an average of 174,000 square feet, according to information from Target. The spokeswoman said the company owns the Orange Park store and will be actively marketing it for sale.
