Target properties are roughly 135,000 square feet (12,500 m2) and sell general merchandise, including hardlines and softlines.

Initially, only SuperTarget locations operated Starbucks Coffee counters, although they were integrated into general-merchandise stores through their expanded partnership beginning in 2003. Many stores also feature Pizza Hut Express counters (usually in the self-service snack bar), along with Starbucks.
