Stoughton, MA, Residents Welcome Their First Target

    BOSTON, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Halloween merchandise sets a festive
tone at Stoughton, Massachusetts', first Target, a 144,000 square-foot
store set to open Sunday, October 12.

    Shoppers can enjoy convenient shopping year-round in the two-level
Target, which features parking on the first level and merchandise on the
second. The layout was designed by members of Target's specialty store
designer team, whose unique vision is showcased for the first time in
Massachusetts in Stoughton. The store anchors Shoppes at Page Pointe, a
196,000 square-foot shopping center developed and owned by Edens & Avant.
The center will eventually include an additional 42,000 square feet in a
mix of retail and restaurant offerings accompanying a T.G.I. Fridays
scheduled to open by year end.

    "We love this format for Target," said Elizabeth Furnelli, vice
president of Development at Edens & Avant." It provides shoppers protection
from bad weather while enabling us to be good stewards of the land, a
feature very important to the Town of Stoughton as well."

    Edens & Avant worked closely with various town boards in planning
Shoppes at Page Pointe. In addition to more than 275 jobs created by
Target, Stoughton received $1.7 million in road improvements for the area
surrounding the center. Changes were made to improve the existing traffic
flow and increase capacity for the future, as the area's commercial
activity is growing. Town officials were instrumental in making these and
other significant infrastructure improvements part of the overall project.

    "Stoughton town board members and planners are visionary, and we share
their passion for improving communities by creating projects like Shoppes
at Page Pointe," continued Furnelli.
