Regular Target stores with Optical Centers

Post by Super S »

I briefly stopped at the Target in Lacey, WA today. I have not been inside this particular store in several years. I walked past the Pharmacy, and seem to remember that this location when it opened possibly also had an Optical Center. However, if it was there, it is gone now.

Did Target operate these, or did an outside vendor handle optical? Does Target currently have any locations with Optical? This was the only location near me that I remember having such a department.

Target optical is a leased department run by Luxottica Eyewear.

The Target here in Lake Stevens has an optical department, and it appears the Redmond store has one too (The store didn't open with one, but added one in a later remodel, probably when the pharmacy was added.) The Target in Lake Stevens also had a portrait studio at one point, but prior to the most recent remodel the studio area was sitting vacant, and I'm not sure what was done with it in the remodel.
