Macerich announced it will welcome a new Target store to Danbury Fair, just 55 miles from New York City in upscale suburban Connecticut. The 126,000 square-foot 2-level Target store will open in the former Sears site and will be the first in the City of Danbury. Macerich has made similar replacements in the west, too.

In May, the retail giant announced a Scheel's All Sports will replace a former Nordstrom department store at Chandler Fashion Center in Arizona. Danbury Fair is one of New England's largest shopping destinations, anchored by JCPenney, Macy's, DICK's Sporting Goods and Primark, and with exciting retailers and restaurants including Apple, lululemon, Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, Urban Outfitters, LL Bean, The Cheesecake Factory, Golf Lounge 18, Shake Shack and over 180 other shops.
