Target Continues Expansion Into Queens

JACKSON HEIGHTS, QUEENS — Target's expansion into Queens is continuing – this time with a new store in Jackson Heights.

The 22,700 square-foot space will open inside The Shoppes at 82nd Street in 2019, the company said.

The new store will be what the company calls a "small-format" location, meaning it fills a smaller space and carries a more limited stock than the company's regular shops. There are already four Targets in Queens, with a second "small format" which opened in 2016 on Austin St. in Forest Hills.

Meanwhile, Target's TriBeCa location is expected to begin a pilot program for same-day deliveries in June. That will be introduced into Brooklyn and Queens if successful, a store spokesman said.

“Serving guests in New York is so important for Target, so we’re proud to continue growing our business and investing in the community,” says Tony Roman, senior group vice president of Target's New York stores.
