In some welcome news for the retail industry, retail giant Target is set to open a new superstore in Southern Pines, NC
There has been a lot of bad news in the retail industry lately, with stores closing down across the United States.
However, in some recent positive news, Target announced it would be opening two new stores in North Carolina, including a superstore in Southern Pines.
"Like the hub of a wheel, each new store and its team members not only support the local community. They also help Target move — getting goods when and where guests need them, however they want to shop...And each step of the way, we work closely with local officials and guests to develop stores that truly make shopping easy, inspiring and affordable."

The "bigger store will offer consumers a wide assortment of products while supporting the retailer’s popular same-day fulfillment services. The stores will also deliver on Target’s stores-as-hubs strategy for digital fulfillment."
In addition, some of these stores "will include new design elements that reflect the local community, experiences that highlight new brands, assortment and services, and sustainable features."
The store will be part of a new development that will also include Dick's Sporting Goods, Starbucks, Five Below, and Golf Galaxy.
It is a big boost for the residents of Moore County.
“We’ve been found, and we are balancing that growth to make sure all of our communities are getting the necessary things that they need while making sure our charm is still here,”Linda Parsons, president and CEO of Moore County Chamber of Commerce.
An exact opening date has not been set, but it is expected to open in 2024.
