    By Samantha Murphy | Mashable – Fri, Jan 13, 2012

    Target has confirmed that it will be introducing 25 Apple mini-shops within its stores this year.

    Last week, rumors that the discount retailer might be partnering with Apple started to circulate, but the company revealed to the New York Times on Thursday that it will officially test the store-within-a-store concept at various locations. The news came after Target announced it will be partnering with several specialty stores to attract more shoppers to its locations.

    Starting May 6, participating boutiques will come to Target for a six-week trial period and then be replaced by another participating brand. Stores involved in the program -- called The Shops at Target -- include the Candy Store, Polka Dog Bakery and home goods retailer Privet House. However, Apple is not a part of the program.

    "One of the reasons our guests love shopping at Target is our design partnerships. They create excitement and leave even the most loyal Target shoppers wondering what we’ll do next,” Brian Robinson, Target's director of fashion and design partnerships, said in a statement. “With The Shops at Target, we’re building on that sense of discovery by offering our guests a chance to experience one-of-a-kind specialty stores and boutiques through collections that have been specifically tailored to their wants and needs."

    Although Target is already carrying some Apple products, the store-within-a-store concept will be an extension of that and likely feature floor space and signs dedicated to the brand.

    Will you be checking out the Apple mini-stores in Target? Let us know in the comments.

      Target is a terrible store for men. They have less selections for clothing then similar stores Kmart and Walmart. Must be as I have said for years popular for women otherwise they would probably be out of business.
