Target is opening seven new stores in October as part of its plan to build over 300 locations in the next decade, the company confirmed in a press release. Six of these stores are larger than the company’s 125,000-square-foot average and are designed to function as local fulfillment hubs for same-day services like Drive Up and Target Circle 360.
