A San Antonio Target is one of 17 in the country selected for a new collaboration with Apple to provide an “innovative new shopping experience,” the store said in a news release Thursday.
The Target located at 18255 Blanco Road will increase floor space for the Apple display and will be home to all of the latest products, including iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods, HomePods and Apple TV. In addition, Target tech consultants will be trained by Apple, the news release said.
Target officials said the tech company’s products are popular with the store’s guests and they hope the collaboration will make the retail giant a go-to destination for electronics.
Four other Texas Targets in Allen, Austin, Hurst and Irving were also selected for the Apple Experience.
Target officials said there were a number of factors used in choosing the first 17 stores, but did not elaborate. The retailer plans to use the 17 stores as a guide for future rollouts. More locations are expected to open in the fall, the news release said.
Target has also launched an online Apple Experience and Target RedCard holders will receive 5 percent off all Apple products and free two-day shipping.
The retailer said the local Target Apple Experience should open soon but did not specify a date.
Apple has two San Antonio stores at La Cantera and the North Star Mall but both have been closed for in-store shopping in response to the pandemic.
