SANTA MONICA, CA — A new Target location is slated to open in downtown Santa Monica this spring.

The store will open sometime in March at 420 Broadway, near 5th Street, city officials told Patch. The exact date has not been announced yet.

The new location is at the former Fred Segal Santa Monica outpost, which closed permanently in 2016.
