California Family Builds Replica Target, Starbucks Store To Keep Child Entertained During Coronavirus

That's because Diego Gonzalez built a replica Target and Starbucks stores for his daughter, Mila.

The tiny shops are complete with snacks and soft drinks.

The Target store — where Mila has become the newest "Employee of the Month" — even has a credit card machine.

The family said a local Target store donated a name-tag for Mila, while a Starbucks donated aprons.
