Methuen’s Target store is scheduled to open shortly, and the Eagle Tribune has written a good piece on the jobs that this development will bring. The Loop has been an enormous success story for Methuen, and the addition of Target further proves that success in retailing can happen on the Massachusetts side of the border. Target is adding 300 jobs, with most prospective employees scheduled to come from Methuen and Lawrence. The area is blossoming even beyond the boundaries of the Loop, bringing jobs and tax revenue to Methuen. I will do a post on the new Mann’s Farm Stand, opening next to the Target store, very shortly.
