MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Target Corp. is opening seven new stores this fall, extending its reach in communities across Arizona, California, Florida, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Six of the new locations exceed the retailer’s 125,000-square-foot chain average, underscoring Target’s push toward larger formats as part of its long-term growth strategy.
The openings are part of Target’s broader plan to add more than 300 stores nationwide over the next decade. With nearly 2,000 stores already in operation, the retailer continues to lean on its “stores-as-hubs” model, fulfilling 95% of its digital orders through local stores while offering same-day services like Drive Up, Order Pickup and Target Circle 360 delivery, which now reaches 80% of the U.S. population.
“I’m so grateful for the experiences I’ve had as a member of the Target stores team — they’ve shaped me, both as a leader and as a person,” said Chief Stores Officer Adrienne Costanzo, who started her Target career 20 years ago at a store in Evansville, Indiana. “There’s an energy and camaraderie in our stores that’s hard to describe — and one that I’ll never take for granted — with teams who support and champion each other to do our best every day. It’s a culture of caring, growing and winning together that not only helps us bring out the best of Target for our guests, but also the best in each other.”…
