Target is planning to open a massive new location in Meridian, Idaho, near the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road. The new store will be the largest of its kind in the area and will offer several major perks for shoppers, including an in-store Starbucks, a CVS Pharmacy, curbside pickup, and a full grocery department, all under one roof.

Why it matters

This new Target location is a significant development for the Meridian community, as it will provide residents with a convenient one-stop shopping experience and expand the retail options in the area. The inclusion of a Starbucks, pharmacy, and grocery department within the Target store is expected to draw more foot traffic and make it a popular destination for local shoppers.

The details

The new Target store will be located on a 11-acre site at the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road, near Interstate 84. The project will feature a dual-entry layout with a dedicated drive-up and go area on the side of the building. The site plan includes 601 parking spaces, slightly more than the 588 required. The new store will become Target's first location in Meridian, complementing the company's existing stores in nearby Boise and Nampa.

  • Target has filed fresh plans with city officials for the new Meridian location.
  • The new store would be an anchor for The District at Ten Mile development, led by Meridian-based Ahlquist Development.
