Introduction

Two major new Florida Target stores are opening this coming weekend, including one deluxe entity.

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.

Let us explore.

Target, 2024

According to an August 13th report from ProgressiveGrocer.com, the new locations are part of Target's ambitious expansion plan to add another 300 company stores over the next decade.

As excerpted from the report, regarding the two new Florida stores opening August 18: Located at 75th Street and Manatee Avenue, the 76,000-square-foot Bradenton store will employ about 80 team members and features a CVS Pharmacy, Starbucks Café and liquor store. The 135,000-square-foot Lecanto store, meanwhile, is the company’s first in the Homosassa Springs market and its 131st in the Sunshine State.

Target's new Bradenton Beach and Lecanto stores, in Florida, will also be joined on the 18th by a Boiling Springs, South Carolina store and Portland, Texas location.
