- The new Target in West Orange is a 150,000-square-foot store located at 235 Prospect Avenue in the West Orange Plaza, slated to open on March 15, 2026. It replaces a former Kmart that was used as a COVID-19 vaccination site and is part of a larger redevelopment of the plaza that will include a pollinator garden and more EV charging stations. - Another Target is scheduled to open on the same day, March 15, 2026, in Jersey City's Journal Square at 36 Journal Square. This 40,000-square-foot location will feature a Starbucks and a CVS Pharmacy and is expected to hire almost 100 employees. - The German grocery chain Lidl opened a new store in Paramus on February 12, 2025, at 651 RT-17. This is one of more than 20 Lidl locations in New Jersey, with another set to open in Hackensack. - The West Orange Target is part of a significant overhaul of the West Orange Plaza managed by Levin Management Corporation. The project includes the construction of two new buildings, an 8,400-square-foot structure and a 5,500-square-foot addition, with the first phase expected to be completed by the end of 2026. - The Journal Square Target is located on the ground floor of "The Journal," a high-rise building recently completed by Kushner Companies adjacent to the Journal Square Transportation Center. - Lidl's expansion in Bergen County now includes four locations: the new Paramus store, existing markets in Bergenfield and Elmwood Park, and a future store in Hackensack. - The West Orange Target will be the 53rd location in New Jersey and the second in Essex County.
