Four of Target’s new store openings this month are large-format establishments that are larger than their typical 125,000 square feet.
Target intends to open more than 300, largely full-sized shops over the next ten years, including the stores that are debuting with its redesigned layout and expanded area. Urban and smaller-format locales are also on the roster.
During Target’s 2024 financial community meeting in New York in March, business chairman and CEO Brain Cornell stated, “If you think store shopping will wind down any time in the decade, we’ll politely disagree – again.”
At the time, he pointed out that between two and three quarters of shopping still takes place in physical stores.
Target operated 1,966 total units as of August 3, the conclusion of the company’s second fiscal quarter. This month, it will open nine new locations, all of which will have formal grand debuts on October 13.
