A Sneak Preview of Target's Bullseye Bazaar
Opening Tomorrow in Chicago

This morning we got a sneak peak (with camera in hand, of course) at Target's first-ever Midwest pop-up shop at the Tribune Tower, the Bullseye Bazaar. Opening tomorrow, Thursday May 7th for just 3 days, the bazaar will offer a hand-picked selection of items featuring all sorts of goods and goodies for summer...

The design of the shop is big, bold and bright with market carts holding the Target items along with fruits and flowers. The signage is all about the savings - the focus is on affordability. We zoomed in on the home based items in our photos, but fashion and beauty products are there in force as well. Some of the designers/brands represented: Blu Dot, DwellStudio, Smith & Hawken, Fred & Co. and Jenny Wilkinson.

The Bullseye Bazaar is open: Thursday, May 7 - Saturday, May 9 with hours from 10am-8pm at Tribune Tower, 455 N. Michigan Ave.

That rug is awesome! It looks like it would feel so good on the tootsies!

Love the chair with the floral print upholstery. I may have to stop by there tomorrow.

Target, you need to get your act together and start opening stores in Canada. Seriously.

i recently discovered that Target is shipping all that John Derian melamine that sold out so quickly (and popped up on ebay) last year, direct from the website.

when i went back to order last weekend it was all on clearance: http://www.target.com/gp/search/188-2241283-7474142?ie=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=derian&url=index%3Dtarget

I so want John Derian's "Bird Design" Tray but am based in the UK and can't find a way to buy as Target doesn't ship to here. I still haven't worked out which store here is the UK version of Target. Ugggh!

Mel265, if you want the tray so bad...ask someone here in the states to order it & then ship it to you and pay them via paypal or something. It could work!!

I was so excited about this. No offense, but just got back from the Bazaar and it was so not worth the time or trip! Nothing like the NYC bodegas with new products and ideas -- filled with same stuff from the store and some of it's even cheaper in the store.

Yes Target would be wise to consider opening a store in Canada, namely,Toronto...Ontario.
