The Big Story
Target shrinks the big box into a smaller space in Dallas' Preston Center
Target has built a store for shoppers who like Target, but not the experience of big box stores, which are the size of at least two-and-a-half football fields, including the end zones.Â
Not this one.
Dallas-Fort Worth's first small-format Target opens Wednesday in Preston Center, one of the city's oldest shopping centers. The store is on the second level of the Pavilion, which was built in the 1950s for Sanger Harris, a Dallas department store that was gobbled up in the chain that is now Macy's.
Target's merchants and store designers have figured out how to jam their store into a smaller space without giving up any merchandise category. [This neighborhood is worth the effort.](

Tired of high deductibles? New networks, telemedicine may curb rising health costs
It's another open enrollment season for health insurance, which means another uptick in prices for 2019. But there are signs of progress in the fight to contain health care costs.
The rate of increase has leveled off at about 5 percent a year — still ahead of general inflation yet lower than a decade ago. And many efforts to rein in spending and improve outcomes are taking root and growing.
Most large companies now offer coverage in retail clinics and through telemedicine. In the next few years, about half may adopt high-performance networks that could benefit patients, employers and providers.
There's also a big push to add navigators or patient advocates to guide people through the health care maze, from where to get an MRI to finding a new doctor.
[All these features offer the hope of lower costs and more healthy habits even as the medical spending keeps climbing.](
