Discover Opens Customer Care Center at Former Target in Chatham

Discover on Monday hosted the grand opening of its Chatham Customer Care Center and Shine Bright^® Community Center on Chicago’s South Side. Formerly a big-box Target store, the 100,000-square-foot space was repositioned in partnership with DL3 Realty.

Joined by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, 6th Ward Ald. Roderick Sawyer and other elected officials and community leaders, Discover cut the ribbon on its new facility which includes a community center that is free for use by community-based organizations and other local entities. It also includes a technology hub providing current and prospective employees working at the Center access to a career path in technology.

The Center supports Lightfoot’s INVEST South/West community improvement initiative and offers job opportunities and economic development beyond Chatham to residents of neighborhoods including Greater Roseland, Auburn Gresham, South Shoreand South Chicago. Discover plans to offer additional customer care jobs that touch other INVEST South/West neighborhoods in coming years.
