Target announced Thursday that it will open its 2,000th store in North Carolina this month as part of an expansion that will see dozens more stores open this year.
The milestone 2,000th location will open March 15 in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. It will be Target’s 55th store in North Carolina. The new 14,000-square-foot store, located near Raleigh, will include a CVS Pharmacy, a Starbucks Café and a Disney Shop.
The company said this location “represents the future of Target’s enhanced guest experience with its open, easy-to-navigate layout, convenient same-day services and the winning team delivering a more relaxing and enjoyable shopping experience.”

Target also plans to open 30 new stores this year and 300 by 2035, in what the company described as a new chapter in its strategy to drive long-term sustainable growth by investing in stores.
In addition to the new North Carolina store, other new Target stores will open this month in Bakersfield and Delano, California; Springfield, MO; Jersey City and West Orange, New Jersey; and Dallas, Texas.
“Guests continually tell us they want a Target closer to home, and this investment helps us do just that,” said Adrienne Costanzo, chief stores officer at Target, in a press release. “That means even more neighborhoods will get the full Target experience: trendsetting style and value, technology that makes the journey effortless and great teams that create easy, inspiring and friendly moments every day.”

The retailer said it is “making a commitment to the neighborhoods it calls home.”
“Every time we open a new Target store, we are planting roots in that community,” Costanzo said. “That means we not only deliver a better shopping experience that is faster and more reliable, but we also create growth and opportunity – through good jobs, support for local nonprofits and long-term economic investments in the neighborhoods we serve. When our teams and communities thrive, so do we.”
