Schindler Hydraulic Elevators @ Target East Springfield - Springfield, PA

Date: 2012-01-22

A typical Target elevator layout. This store originally was a three-story freestanding (no mall/shopping center attached) Strawbridge & Clothier (Strawbridge's), but in 1997, they moved to Springfield mall into the Wanamaker's, later Hecht's, location, and in the freestanding Strawbridge's place opened the first Target in the area, while a two-story, no elevator (long ramp instead) strip mall opened around it. Target, however, only opened on the first and second floor, while the third floor became a Bed Bath and Beyond. As there was a third floor entrance to Strawbridge's from the parking lot because it was built on a hill, the Bed Bath and Beyond has no internal entrance at all to Target. However, they may have kept the freight elevator for loading purposes, so that might offer a way into Bed Bath and Beyond from Target. Target Corperation then bought the other Strawbridge's location in Springfield (Springfield Mall).
