The site points out that if you search for "Target 1865 Broadway," results indicate that the opening date is July 19th --but when they called the company's press department to confirm that date, they learned that it has been pushed back to this fall.
Another local blog, West Side Rag, confirmed the news and shared a statement from the rep: “As external circumstances continue to evolve, there will naturally be some delays and shifts. As a result, our Columbus Circle Target store, located at 61st Street and Broadway, is planned to open later this fall.” Say it ain't so!

The store was announced in late 2018, and the company already held a job fair last year to fill the 160 expected employment spots!
