Channel 11 reached out to Target at their corporate office in Minnesota.

A spokeswoman wouldn't confirm the company was looking to move downtown, but they didn’t deny it either saying:

"We're always looking for new opportunities to better serve our guests, but we don't have any stores news to share for Pittsburgh."

Currently Target has 18 stores in the Pittsburgh area.
