Boro's Target one of busiest in the nation
The NY Daily News
By Jego Armstrong & Joyce Shelby
Not sure that this is news, but the Target in Forest City Ratner's Atlantic Terminal mall is one of the top performing stores for the national retail chain.
"It's in a good location," Kurt Barnard, publisher of Barnard's Retail Trend Report, said of the store at Flatbush and Atlantic Aves. in the Atlantic Terminal Mall.
The mall is a major transportation hub, with 10 subway lines, the Long Island Rail Road and five bus lines all stopping there. An average of 1 million shoppers come to the mall monthly, most by public transportation.
There's also no other big-box store for miles. BJ's Wholesale is 7.5 miles away; Costco is 3.4.
Wal-Mart stores don't exist in the city, but Barnard said if they did, Target would face stiff competition.
