TARGET and Starbucks have been partners since 1999, featuring Starbucks locations at TARGET stores throughout the US.
Gables Insider has learned that the submitted proposal to the City of Coral Gables for the TARGET store coming to 1906 Ponce de Leon Blvd in Coral Gables will also feature a Starbucks.
Starbucks currently has three locations in the City Beautiful and one at the University of Miami, making this the fifth location in the City Beautiful, and the first in the North Ponce region of the City.
A pharmacy is also projected for this TARGET location.
I love the idea of having Target in CG. I disagree having a Starbuck and a pharmacy inside such small location. The actual purpose will disappear as the store format is 1/5th of the regular Target’s locations to include a Starbuck and a pharmacy.
I like the idea of the new Target. Traffic can be bad everywhere these days – it is not just in the north Ponce area. There is a parking lot behind the current OfficeMax store that seems appropriate for the store size. Downtown business foot traffic can also use new Target as well as foot traffic from area residents.
extremely concerned about the increased traffic flow that a Target will bring to an already congested area where parking doesnt exist as it is but MAINLY because the traffic flow is in front of CG Elementary…! We know Miami drivers are not the most sfety aware and courteous….feel really bad for those kids and their parents…. Again,City Hall doesnt plan nor consider consequences and impact on residents
I’m very happy to hear that Target will replace Office Max. What a great fit for that location. It will serve residents and downtown workers alike.
I think it’s wonderful! for all Target shoppers, now we don’t have to leave our neighborhood to shop at another Target. By the way, if you don’t live or work in the Gables, I seriously doubt that this is the Target you will be visiting. I see it as a convenience and more variety for our residents. Great news!
I’m so disappointed that the city is even considering allowing a target store on Ponce de Leon where office Max is leaving. Target will bring people who are not coral gables residents. More traffic, more littering, the possibilities of vandalism, Target visitors taking street parking in the area where most residents Need to park as there is only street parking for residents in the north gables area. There are not enough parking on the old office Max location and I foresee this as a large problem. The city should seriously consider allowing the voice and opinions of the coral gables residents on the Target permit.
I guess my comment will not be approved since it is not a favourable response. That is OK. Many of my neighbours feel the same way I do but apparently we do not have a voice.
GREAT!!!! Just what we need. MORE TRAFFIC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I have lived in the same house since 1968 and I know that progress is good but the traffic is getting ridiculous.
Once that monstrosity by the circle is finished it will be very difficult to get around our area.
