The back left corner of the store is home to Target's seasonal department, which at the time of my visit (a bit over a week before Halloween) was already being changed over to Christmas stuff. Oh well, at least it's October, rather than August (I'm looking at you, Costco!). The angled cut-in in this corner of the store appears to have been required to keep the Target building, one of the newest parts of the mall, from crashing into the Mervyn's/Walmart wing of the mall proper.
Probably the biggest change in this decor from the previous ones (at least in these cheaper remodels) is the addition of uplighting along the perimeter walls. It doesn't sound like a big change I'm sure, but in person it really makes a difference in how these stores feel. I'm still not thrilled about the plain red (and grey in some departments now!) walls, but it's worlds better than their previous non-neon decor packages, and does look quite classy.
I agree, this décor definitely benefits from the uplighting. And as for the angled wall, I believe I've seen some recent Target remodels on flickr where they've added in angled corners themselves. Nice that this one was already there for them, haha!
