Target In Former Cross County Sears Location Opening Date Announced

YONKERS, NY — The former Sears location at Cross County Shopping Center will soon be a bustling retail outlet again, as the opening date of a long-awaited Target store has been announced.

The Minneapolis department store chain said the new Yonkers store will celebrate its grand opening on October 22.

In 2020, the national retailer signed a 40-year lease to take over the 130,000-square-foot space.

"As we get closer to opening the store, we’ll have more specific details to share – including how the shopping experience will be tailored to serve local guests," a Target spokesperson said in a statement announcing the opening plans.   

The new Target will be the first in the city of Yonkers.

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said the city's planning and development staff worked with Marx Realty to bring a "town square" concept to the center's open-air design.

"Yonkers has hit the mark with Target's plan for a new store at Cross County Center," he said in a prepared statement. "Target's decision to invest in our city is a testament to the retailer's confidence in our thriving economy and our business-friendly environment."
