LITTLE ELM, Texas — Target Corp. is preparing to open its first Little Elm-area store next month, bringing a 148,000-square-foot retail location to the U.S. 380 corridor near the Little Elm-Aubrey boundary.

The Little Elm store is part of Target's $5 billion capital investment plan for 2026. The company has said that plan includes 30 new stores and 130 remodels across its portfolio.
The opening comes as Little Elm continues to grow along the U.S. 380 corridor. WFAA reported that the town's population is nearly 70,000, up more than 40% since 2020.
