Target Open Columbus Day
Columbus Day is Monday and, while many people will be getting ready for a three-day weekend, others are looking forward to holiday sales. Because it is a federal holiday, there is a gray area as to what will be open and what’s closed. Target is one of America’s favorite retailers and often holds great holiday sales. Those wanting to head out shopping may be wondering, “is Target open Columbus Day?”

Is Target Open Columbus Day?

Yes. Target will be open on Columbus Day. Although it isn’t really considered to be a huge shopping holiday, most retailers will be open on Monday. Most of Target’s deals will center around Halloween and the usual household items. So, what specific deals will Target have on Columbus Day?

Target Columbus Day Deals

Target has deals circulating every week. However, there are no Columbus Day-specific deals. If you want to get a great deal at Target every day, check out the Target REDcard. Shopping with your REDcard will get you an additional 5% off your entire purchase every time you shop at Target.

If you’re looking for specific deals, check your local Target ad for the week of October 8. You can find the ad on online, in your newspaper, or in your local Target.

What is Target’s Holiday Schedule?

Most Target locations are open during normal business hours on most holidays (8 a.m. to 11 p.m.). Outside of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day, Target operates on these hours.

Some holidays may provide extended hours. For instance, Target is open longer on Black Friday. However, Columbus Day is not a holiday that will provide any extended hours (opening at 6 a.m. and closing at midnight). It should also be noted that many locations have shorter hours on Sunday.

Target pharmacies and stores located within Target may open later on regular business days and holidays. The photo center keeps regular store hours. Check out Target’s holiday schedule and store hours here.
