Target Coming to Muscle Shoals?

Target has announced that at least 23 new stores will be completed this year. Pictured below is a location in Columbus, Ohio, that is one of the more common store types and one that could be expected in any new construction in our area. Will there be such construction?

It's been rumored that the Target retailing giant is looking at property on Wilson Dam Road and Sixth Street in Muscle Shoals. If true, construction would not begin until much later this year or in early 2020, with a store opening in the latter half of 2020.

While we haven't been able to authenticate the information, we believe that it is quite possible. We also believe the Shoals can expect to see action on this retail project long before it does on Inspiration Landing.

How long before a jury reaches a verdict in the Chip Dillard trial? That's anyone's guess, but we predict it will be before the weekend. We've been asked why Tuten and Slusher presented such a short defense for their clients. Perhaps these seasoned attorneys felt the state hadn't proved its case and the less said on some things the better?

Pleasant Thoughts for Tim Staggs
