PHOENIX-Another major retailer has set its sites on southwest Phoenix for a major distribution center. Target Stores plans to break ground on a 1.5-million-sf distribution facility this month just off Interstate 10, between 71st and 75th avenues.

The center will serve as Target’s Southwest distribution center, supplying inventory to 100 stores in Arizona, Southern California and Southern Nevada. Construction is expected to be completed by June 2002. At full capacity, the center will employee as many as 900 people.
