Target, which has roughly 1,900 stores nationwide, will open Disney stores in over 160 locations by the end of the year. A list of selected shops was not immediately available.
The move comes in addition to the 53 small stores that began selling Disney-themed merchandise inside select locations in 2019.
USA Today reports that the shops are roughly 750 square feet and located near the kids clothing and toy departments.
They have music, interactive displays, photo opportunities, and a seating area to entertain the smallest of shoppers.
The expansion of Disney shops comes ahead of the holiday season, with the hopes of increasing foot traffic and driving sales.
It also follows Target’s announcement earlier in the year to open over 100 Ulta stores inside the retail giant.
Target CEO Brian Cornell said each "shop-in-shop" will feature hair products, makeup, and fragrances from Ulta. Target employees working in the Ulta stores will be trained by Ulta to be beauty consultants.
In addition to toys and beauty products, shoppers that are browsing the aisles can find displays dedicated to Apple gadgets.
That’s a lot of shopping, so it’s fitting that many Target locations come equipped with an in-store Starbucks that will help keep you caffeinated.
And the best part is that you can get free refills, according to Yahoo!.
The perk applies to Starbucks rewards program members. It applies to coffees and teas, both iced and hot, inside of the coffee shops at Target. It cannot be redeemed for specialty drinks.
Through these carefully calculated moves and partnerships, Target is growing faster than it did before the pandemic, which has affected the economy and many businesses.
