Target is opening 30 stores in 2026. Five open the weekend of March 15, two in California and one each in Missouri, North Carolina and Texas.
Target has hit a retail milestone: the opening of its 2,000th store.
The Minneapolis-headquartered retailer opens the watershed location on Sunday, March 15, in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, just southwest of Raleigh. Four other new stores also open that day: two in California and one each in Missouri and Texas.
During 2026, Target is planning to open more than 30 stores and remodel over 130 stores, the company has said. The expansion is part of $5 billion in capital expenditures announced by CEO Michael Fiddelke during Target's investor day on March 3.
The goal? "We're making big changes to lead with a trend-forward assortment, elevate the guest experience, accelerate with technology and equip our teams to deliver the most delightful experience in retail, for today and over the long term," Fiddelke said in a statement.
