Target To Hire 100K Ahead Of Holiday Season
Target in the coming weeks will hire 100,000 seasonal employees as the retailer gears up for the holiday season by offering shoppers a selection of exclusive products.
Officials with the retailer said Target is offering its largest holiday assortment in its history, with 50% more new items than in 2023, including exclusive products and partnerships.
"Consumers are getting ready for one of the most exciting times of the year, which is why we're leaning into the magic of Tarzhay like never before — with an assortment, value, and experience only Target can deliver," said Rick Gomez, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Target. "From only-at-Target exclusives to the return of Target Circle Week and great deals every day, our plans are unmistakably Target and will add extra sparkle and delight to the holidays."
Only-at-Target will be a theme during the holiday season as more than half of the retailer’s assortment will feature exclusives.
- Target will be a retail destination for Universal Pictures' "Wicked.” As a retail partner of Universal Products & Experiences, Target will offer consumers a range of "Wicked"-themed merchandise and experiences from exclusive products to in-store activations.
- Target is bringing back its partnership with British retailer Marks & Spencer, introducing new food & beverage items and, for the first time, new home items like London-themed ornaments and mugs, all under $20.
- The retailer will introduce new Bullseye shop sections in nearly 200 stores with festive Target-themed holiday gifts, most under $25. Building on the success of the fan-favorite Target toy shopping cart, Target will also introduce Target-branded items online and in Bullseye shops throughout the season, including a new ornament set, Target toy checklane, giant Bullseye dog plush, Bullseye dog toys and Target-themed items from Polly Pocket, Funko, Barbie, Pez and more.
Consumers will also be able to get a head start on holiday shopping with seven days of deals during Target Circle Week, Oct. 6-12. Target Circle Week will feature deals on products to help consumers prep for the holidays, along with savings on fall favorites, everyday essentials, and more.
These soon-to-be-announced deals are automatically applied at checkout in-store or online. Shoppers can take advantage by signing up for the free-to-join Target Circle membership via the Target app or Target.com.
Target's popular Deal of the Day program will also return, with new one-day-only deals available each day of Target Circle Week. It will also return Nov. 1 through the rest of the season for Target Circle members. Additionally, Target will also offer savings through Christmas and will announce those sale prices throughout the season.
