Target announced plans to open six new stores in Arizona, Missouri, New Jersey, and North Carolina this May, as part of its plan to open over 30 stores nationwide this year.
The stores opening in May include locations in Buckeye-Verrado, Buckeye, AZ; Casa Grande Promenade, Casa Grande, AZ; University City Olive Boulevard, St. Louis, MO; Jersey City Route 440, Jersey City, NJ; Myrtle Grove, Wilmington, NC; and Selma, NC.
The store openings are part of the company’s $5 billion capital investment plan, which it announced earlier this year. The investment will also support over 130 remodels, alongside hundreds of millions of dollars in additional store payroll and training to improve customer service.
The announcement coincides with the retailer’s plan to add more than 300 Target stores, many of which will top its 125,000-square-foot chain average, as Target leans into larger footprints.
Target operates nearly 2,000 stores nationwide.
“Our continued commitment to opening new stores is really about showing up for our guests and our communities — and it starts with our incredible store team members,” said Chief Stores Officer Adrienne Costanzo. “These new stores give our teams the tools and environments to bring our merchandising strengths to life, create easier and more inspiring shopping experiences, and use technology to move smarter and faster every day. It’s how we keep growing thoughtfully, stay connected to our communities and make Target an even better place to work and shop.”
