Target continues to move forward with plans for a new store in Seneca, and the project remains active despite a few recent hiccups. The store appears on Target’s official list of upcoming locations, confirming that it has not opened yet. Site work is ongoing at the Thornwell Village development, where Target will anchor a large retail project on Sandifer Boulevard.
Construction Timeline
Site preparation is underway at Thornwell Village. Grading continues across the future retail pads, and crews have been working on access improvements along the corridor. These steps mark steady progress, although no building construction has been confirmed. A sewer permit tied to the development was briefly rescinded after a missed fee deadline, but local officials now expect the matter to be resolved. Target has not provided an opening date for the store.
Location Context
The new store will sit along US-123 in a growing part of Seneca. Thornwell Village is planned as a multi-tenant development, with Target serving as the primary anchor. The area attracts steady traffic from residents and travelers passing through Oconee County. Retail activity continues to increase along the corridor, making the site a natural fit for a large-format store.
Company Expansion
Target remains in an active growth phase across the Southeast. A new store opened in Indian Land in 2025, and several more projects are planned in nearby states. The Seneca location stands out due to its size and regional pull. The company continues to list the store as upcoming, which reinforces its place in Target’s broader expansion plans.
