PORTLAND, Ore. – Shoppers are getting the first look at a new Target store that is now at the former AMF Bowling Center in Southeast Portland.

Developers purchased the classic bowling alley on SE Powell Boulevard last year, hinting that a national retailer would be taking over the space.

The small-format Target is similar to the one downtown, offering a similar Target shopping experience with wares “tailored for local residents” in an urban setting.

The 32,000-square-foot store has nostalgic design that ties in the building’s bowling alley history.
