Target posts new-store jobs across 2026 expansion locations

Target’s 2026 store openings are more than a map of new bullseyes. They are one of the clearest hiring paths the company is offering right now, with summer 2026 jobs posted in places from Perris and Logan to Lake Nona, Jersey City and Casa Grande. For applicants, that means a chance to join at launch; for current team members, it signals where the next round of openings and promotions is likely to build.

The new-stores jobs page lists openings across Perris, Logan, Springfield East, Frankfort, Forney, Mesa, Seneca, Lake Nona, Brookings, Firestone, Little Elm, Jersey City, University City, Wilmington, Selma, Buckeye and Casa Grande, among others. Many of the postings are labeled summer 2026 and now hiring, which makes them especially relevant for seasonal workers, students and anyone who wants to start in a brand-new store instead of trying to break in after a location is already fully staffed.

Target’s broader expansion gives that hiring page more weight. On March 5, the company said it planned to open more than 30 new stores in 2026, with the first seven opening in March, and said its 2,000th store would be in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. Target also said it plans to add more than 300 new stores by 2035, a sign that this is not a one-off burst but part of a longer buildout of the store network.

For job seekers, the practical takeaway is simple: new stores usually need people who can stand up the operation fast. That often means opening crews, trainers, leads and experienced team members who can set the pace from day one. Target says starting pay ranges from $15 to $24 an hour, depending on role and location, which makes these openings a concrete entry point for people weighing retail work against other hourly jobs.

For current team members, the openings can create a different kind of opportunity. New stores often open space for more responsibility, better scheduling and faster movement into leadership because the playbook is still being built. Target’s store-careers page describes store work as part of a larger career path inside the company, and the 2026 expansion gives that idea a real-world test.

The company is backing the push with money and labor. Target said its 2026 capital investment plan is about $5 billion, including hundreds of millions of dollars in additional store payroll and training, plus more than 130 remodels. It also said stores fulfill 95% of its digital orders and that same-day delivery reaches 80% of the U.S. population, which means each new store is doing double duty as both a sales floor and a logistics node. Adrienne Costanzo has said guests want a Target closer to home, and these openings are the operational answer to that demand.
