NEW HYDE PARK, NY — Target plans to open a much bigger store at the Lake Success Shopping Center in New Hyde Park. Newsday reports the company had initially planned to take over two levels of the defunct Sears department store on Union Turnpike. But now it wants to occupy all three levels of the former Sears space. That's about 115,000 square feet, according to Newsday. It is unclear when exactly the store will open and how many people it will employ. "As we get closer to opening the store, we'll have more specific details to share — including how the shopping experience will be tailored to serve local guests," a Target spokeswoman told Newsday. Patch has reached out to Target and RIPCO Real Estate LLC, the firm involved in lease negotiations, for comment.
