New Target Set to Open in Pennsylvania

Target Set for Summer 2025 Opening in West Goshen, Bringing New Large-Format Store

This new location, taking over the space formerly occupied by Kmart, will bring Target's popular mix of merchandise, groceries, and convenient services to the area in one of the company's modern, large-format designs.

A Major Addition to West Goshen Shopping Center

The arrival of Target marks a significant revitalization for the West Goshen Shopping Center.

• Location: The new store is located at 985 Paoli Pike, West Chester, PA 19380, occupying the approximately 120,000 sq. ft. anchor space left vacant when Kmart closed in 2019.
• Timeline: After confirmation and planning stages, construction on the exterior and interior has been underway. Target corporate announcements now officially list the West Goshen location with a Summer 2025 opening target, with hiring for new team members expected to begin soon.

What to Expect: Target's Modern Large-Format Experience:

This new West Goshen store is expected to reflect Target's newer, large-format concept, designed to enhance the shopping experience and support online fulfillment services:

• Spacious Layout: Expect wider aisles and a more open, inviting design compared to older stores.
• Expanded Assortment: Larger stores typically offer a full range of Target's merchandise, including apparel, home goods, electronics, toys, beauty, and an extensive food and beverage section with fresh produce and grocery staples.
• Enhanced Fulfillment: The design includes larger backroom spaces specifically to support popular same-day services like Drive Up and Order Pickup, making online shopping more convenient.
• Brand Partnerships: Likely to include popular store-within-a-store concepts like Ulta Beauty at Target and potentially Apple at Target or a Disney Store section.
• Starbucks Cafe: Most new large-format Targets include an in-store Starbucks.
• Modern Amenities: Look for features like updated fitting rooms, natural design elements, and potentially EV charging stations.

Part of Target's National Investment Strategy

The West Goshen opening is part of a significant nationwide push by Target. The company plans to open approximately 20 new stores across the U.S. in 2025, the majority being these larger-format locations. This is part of Target's broader goal to add over 300 new stores within the next decade and remodel many existing ones, backed by a planned $4 billion to $5 billion investment in its stores, supply chain, and technology for 2025.

The countdown to Target's arrival in West Goshen is officially on! With a target opening of Summer 2025, residents can look forward to experiencing the retailer's latest large-format store design, complete with a wide selection of goods, expanded grocery offerings, enhanced online services, and popular brand partnerships. This new Target promises to be a major retail anchor for the West Goshen Shopping Center and a convenient new destination for shoppers in Chester County.
