Target said the store, which is in the same space of a Randalls that closed in 2018, will hire 100 new employees.
New format is a first-of-its-kind for Houston
This Target will be in the company's small store format, which is designed to better serve urban areas, dense suburban neighborhood, near college campuses and other areas where a full-size store wouldn't fit.
It's one of 140 stores nationwide in this format but the first of its kind to open in Houston. It's the 38th location to open in the city.
Target said the store also has a CVS Pharmacy and a Starbucks.
