The Minneapolis-based retail giant is just days away from opening its first-ever small-format store, called CityTarget, in one of downtown Chicago's most architecturally significant buildings. Finishing touches are being made to open the store on July 25, the Chicago Tribune reports.

CityTarget stores will also open in Los Angeles and Seattle next week. Reuters reports another Los Angeles store and one in San Francisco will open later this year. A third Los Angeles location and a CityTarget in Portland, Oregon will open in 2013.

The slimmed-down stores will feature fresh food, clothing and electronics.

The Minneapolis-based discount chain opened its first CityTarget stores in Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle on Wednesday. The new slimmed-down format is designed to cater to urban shoppers, while still featuring fresh food, apparel and electronics.

The Minneapolis-based retailer is experimenting with a smaller store that caters specifically to the city customer. At a busy intersection in Chicago, a two-level CityTarget will open on Sunday with more checkout lanes, two-shelf shopping carts and smaller sizes of goods like toilet paper so that shoppers can more easily carry as they walk home, grab a cab, or hop on the "L" train.
