Today the Business Courier reported that Target is still planning a summer 2010 open date which I still find hard to believe considering not 1 brick or ounce of concrete has been poured. With that being said it is encouraging to hear a confirmation from Target – the first such confirmation in some time. The other big news is that it will be a Super Target – one of only 50 in the nation. They have one such Target in Fisher Indiana and it is quite impressive.

Kroger continues to commit to the early October open date despite rumors to the contrary. No mention was made by the Kroger spokes person about any water / drainage issue as has been rumored but only mentioned final approvals as the delay.

Needless to say this is very good news for the development. Regardless of who may still be committed (Chipotle did not confirm the location in a recent article in the Enquirer) the traffic generated by these two mega stores will surely bring other great eats and shopping options.
