Target opens first Cache Valley store with 200 jobs, food focus

Target will open its first Cache Valley store at 1300 Main St., Suite #100, in Logan on July 26, bringing more than 200 jobs to the former Cache Valley Mall site. The opening gives the fast-growing Utah county its first Target after years of anticipation from local shoppers and officials.

The store’s staffing picture is already taking shape. ABC4 reported on June 22 that the Logan location would employ roughly 172 team members, while Target’s Logan jobs page and Utah careers page showed hiring underway before opening. For applicants, that means the launch has not been a single-day hiring event but a live recruiting window tied to a new market.

The format also points to a different kind of day-to-day operation than a standard general-merchandise box. Coverage described the Logan store as food-focused, with an expanded grocery selection and a college emphasis. That combination suggests heavier demand around food and beverage, fresh inventory, and the kind of flexible coverage that comes with serving students and a community that shops differently during the school year than in a suburban strip center.

For current Target team members in nearby Utah stores, the Logan opening creates a place to watch for transfer and advancement opportunities. A new location on a former mall site typically needs leaders and experienced operators who can help build routines fast, and a store built around food and college traffic will likely put a premium on workers who can handle busier weekly peaks, seasonal rushes, and a broader mix of guest needs. The opening also extends Target’s reach deeper into Cache Valley, a move that has been visible for months across local coverage and in the company’s own hiring pages.
