Although most of us know Target is open on weekdays and weekends, it’s not always easy to know if the store is open on specific holidays. In most cases the stores are open seven days a week, but there are a few exceptions during the year. It’s never fun to show up at a store needing to purchase something only to find it’s closed for the day so you waste both your valuable time and money. A simple way to make sure the store is open is to do a search and check an article like this one. The good news is that for the vast majority of days each year, you will find Target stores open, and those days it’s not are on major holidays.

We try to make it as accurate as possible, but there may be times when special events are taking place, or unique circumstances where a local store may have a different schedule than most other stores. Even after checking the information listed here, it’s best to contact the store branch in your area to make sure it will be open when you want to go, and what their particular store hours are for that day.
