Sponsor Our ArticlesLexington County is set to welcome a new shopping center, anchored by a Target store, scheduled to open in fall 2026. Located on the 2500 block of Augusta Highway, directly across from Lexington High School, the center will feature over 206,000 square feet of retail space. NFL legend Emmitt Smith’s company is spearheading this project, which aims to support the growing community’s shopping needs. As development progresses, local sentiments are mixed regarding potential traffic and safety concerns, but there is excitement about increased retail options for residents.
Get ready, Lexington County! Big news is in the air as a brand new shopping center is set to sprout up in your neighborhood, bringing a glimmer of retail hope and excitement along with it. With plans to open in fall 2026, this shopping haven will feature a shiny Target store as its anchor, ensuring that the community has access to all kinds of shopping treasures!
The shopping center will be constructed on an undeveloped parcel of land located on the 2500 block of Augusta Highway. This convenient spot is directly across from Lexington High School, making it an ideal stop for both students and families. As folks drive by after picking up snacks from nearby McDonald’s or coffee from Starbucks, they’ll surely feel the buzz of excitement building in the area.
What can shoppers expect? Brace yourselves because the shopping center is anticipated to boast over 206,000 square feet of retail space. That’s a lot of room for not just Target, but hopefully a great mix of other retailers too. Imagine the shopping spree possibilities right at your doorstep!
You might recognize the name Emmitt Smith, the legendary NFL star and all-time leading rusher in history. Yes, the former Dallas Cowboys standout is playing a significant role here as the chairman of 413 Solutions, the Dallas-based company behind this wonderful initiative. His involvement adds an extra layer of star power to this already exciting project.
Lexington County has been buzzing with growth—our population jumped from 216,000 in 2000 to over 309,000 in 2023! That rapid growth means more families are looking for amenities close to home, and this shopping center is set to fill that gap. Plus, with new residential subdivisions popping up all around Augusta Highway, it’s clear that this community is expanding and thriving.
But that’s not all! The Augusta Highway area already has a lovely lineup of nearby retailers, including Lowes Foods, Publix, Little Caesars, Bojangles, Planet Fitness, and Zaxby’s. The addition of a Target will certainly enhance the area’s shopping experience, making it a one-stop shop for everything from groceries to home goods.
This shopping center is more than just a set of shiny stores; it’s a crucial part of a strategic investment in the region’s economic future. The land, which is about 27 acres, was sold by commercial real estate firm NAI Columbia in December 2024, reflecting the growing interest in developing retail spaces in Lexington County.
As we wait with bated breath for the fall of 2026, we can’t help but think about the vibrant community and potential that this shopping center will bring. So, get ready Lexington County, because our shopping landscape is about to be transformed, and it’s going to be fabulous!
