Target may have its bull's eye on opening another Tallahassee store.

The mega-retailer may be the main tenant at Varsity Plaza, home to Coliseum nightclub and the Florida State University Department of Anthropology off West Tennessee Street near High Road. The plaza is tagged for redevelopment.

"According to our managers and a planner, the project was submitted as a pre-submittal, meaning it has not been finalized. It’s my understanding that the elevations shown did not specify that a Target is involved. But the architecture and logos strongly suggest that the main tenant on site is a Target," said Angeline Taylor, a spokeswoman for the city's Growth Management Department.

In a Feb. 21 pre-submittal narrative, Clifford Lamb & Associates, consulting engineers, proposed redevelopment of the plaza shopping center, Tires Plus and Aaron's Rental. In the proposal, all three parcels would be removed through phases. That would create 65,056 square feet of new non-residential space. It would have one major tenant building, three smaller retail buildings and associated parking areas.

Tallahassee has two Target stores located on Apalachee Parkway and Bradfordville Road.
