The new store spans 148,000 square feet — more than the typical 125,000-square-foot Target store — and will bring more than 200 jobs to the Austin suburb.

Located at 351 N. U.S. 183, the store will place a stronger emphasis on food, including fresh meat, produce and dairy products. The store will also include a Starbucks Cafe, a CVS Pharmacy and an integrated Apple section in its technology department. Its parking lot will offer electric-vehicle charging.

Shoppers will have access to Target’s Drive Up and Order Pickup services as well as same-day delivery.

The Liberty Hill location is part of a broader nationwide expansion by the Minneapolis-based retailer. It’s one of three new Texas stores opening by the end of the year and eight new stores total across Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

New stores in Fort Worth’s Chisholm Trail area, Katy Heritage and Liberty Hill will become Target’s 163rd, 164th and 165th stores in Texas, respectively. Target opened its first Texas store in 1969 and now employs more than 29,000 people across the state. All three stores will open Oct. 11, 2026.

The company has been pouring billions of dollars into its brick-and-mortar footprint. It plans to spend about $5 billion on capital investments in 2026, supporting more than 30 new stores and 130 remodels by the end of the year. Target has said it expects to build more than 300 stores nationwide by 2035.
