Introduction

A major new Connecticut Target store is apparently closer to opening, replacing a Walmart that permanently shuttered in 2023.

Firstly, for perspective per ScrapeHero.com’s most recently-updated store location count: There are 1,966 Target stores in the United States as of July 24, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of Target locations in the US is California, with 318 stores, which is about 16% of all Target stores in the US.

Target, 2024

According to an August 1st report from TheHour.com: Target has installed a new sign ahead of opening a new location at 680 Connecticut Ave, which will replace the Walmart that closed in November 2023.

Although the sign was replaced on August 1, there is still no official indication of when the new Target store will be opening. Further, a new HomeGoods sign has replaced the old HomeGoods company sign, which now rests under Target's.
