A new Target store is now open in South Lake Tahoe, located at 4000 Lake Tahoe Boulevard in the Tahoe Village Center. The store opened on April 13, 2025, and took over the site of the former Raley’s supermarket. This is the first Target location in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The building underwent significant remodeling following a snowstorm-related roof collapse in 2023. Target’s arrival marks a major update to this central commercial corridor.

Multiple reviews state that it is a smaller-format Target and does not carry a full product assortment. Some mention limited grocery options and a tighter parking layout. Staff interactions are described as helpful and professional in several reviews.
Yelp users mention that the store works well for short shopping trips and quick essentials. Multiple reviews note that it is not a full-size Target but includes key departments like health, beauty, seasonal items, and groceries.
Roof Collapse and Redevelopment Timeline
The new Target replaces the former Raley’s supermarket that had operated at the site for decades. In March 2023, a severe snowstorm hit the Sierra Nevada, producing record snowfall levels across the Lake Tahoe region. The storm caused a partial collapse of the Raley’s roof due to snow accumulation. The structural damage led to the permanent closure of the store.
The damaged structure was later repaired and remodeled for Target. The renovation included new signage, interior layout changes, and updated fixtures. The opening was confirmed in an April 2025 article by the Tahoe Daily Tribune.
Current Status of Tahoe Village Center
As of early May 2025, Target is operating and serving customers daily. The Tahoe Village Center remains active with a mix of retail and service tenants. The addition of Target has added a national retailer to the center’s lineup.
Location History
South Lake Tahoe’s Village Center was built in 1964; before then, the area had no development. There are aerial images of the area going back to the 1940s.
