Both Downtown Department Stores to Stay Open?

I suspect, the L.A. Times just got it wrong on this detail. (The reporters probably don't even know the stores exist.) It doesn't make any sense for Federated to keep these two locations if Robinsons-May chain is going to be shut down. Hopefully, they'll exit one of the properties and something like a Target will take over the site. Target has started opening stores in more urban locations. They have a store in Pasadena on Colorado where they took over an abandoned department store. There is now a Target in West Hollywood. The location is very urban and as far as I can tell, the store is very successful. Downtown could definitely use a Target. If they did the parking right, I'm confident a Target in one of these locations (probably the Macy's site because of the larger site) would be very successful.

Coincidentally enough, the Target you mention in Pasadena is located where a free-standing Robinson's store once operated. I notice nothing has been said about the large Robinson's-May location at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, which probably rakes in a lot of money and shares the mall with a Macy's.
