RARITAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Hunterdon County) — Local officials and community members joined Target executives Tuesday evening to celebrate the grand opening of the retailer’s new store in the Flemington Shops at 325 Route 202.
The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5 p.m. and a guided tour of the store, which Target leaders said was designed to emphasize customer experience, convenience and modern amenities.
Hunterdon County Deputy Director Shaun C. Van Doren and Commissioner Susan J. Soloway attended the ceremony, along with County Clerk Mary Melfi, Sheriff Fred Brown, Raritan Township Mayor Bob King, and Township Committee members Scott Sipos and Robyn Fatooh.
