Lexington is set to welcome a new shopping center at 2552 Augusta Highway, featuring a Target store and various other retailers.

Exciting News for Lexington: New Shopping Center on the Way!
Hey Lexington residents! We’ve got some exciting news that is sure to make your shopping trips a whole lot easier and more enjoyable. A new shopping center is set to spring up right in our lovely town, bringing with it a familiar favorite: Target! That’s right, folks. The buzz is out, and it looks like this retail haven is going to be located at 2552 Augusta Highway, right across the street from Lexington High School.
What’s in Store?
The just-over 206,000 square feet of retail space will give Lexington a new place to shop, dine, and unwind. The developers, 413 Solutions, Inc., are gearing up for an exciting stint with this project, aiming for a grand opening in the Fall of 2026. That might feel a bit far off, but just imagine the endless shopping possibilities that will soon be at your fingertips!
Perfect Location
This shopping center isn’t just any spot; it’s located in a highly strategic area along Highway 1. This makes it super accessible not just for folks in Lexington but also for nearby communities, with easy access to Highway 378 and Interstate 20. Whether you’re heading out for groceries or looking to treat yourself to something special, getting to this shopping hub will be a breeze.
More Than Just Target
While the Target store will be the anchor of this new development, it won’t be the only shopping option. The area is already bustling with popular retailers such as Lowes Foods, Publix, Little Caesars, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Bojangles, Planet Fitness, and Zaxby’s! Together, they help create a vibrant commercial landscape that has something for everyone.
Investing in the Future of Lexington
With Lexington County already experiencing significant growth—from a population of 216,000 in 2000 to over 309,000 as of 2023, according to recent census data—this shopping center represents a smart investment in the region’s economic future. The growth trends indicate a need for more retail options, and this upcoming shopping center fits perfectly with the evolving needs of both local businesses and residents.
Land Development Plans
Currently, the site is a picturesque, wooded area of about 27 acres. The vision for this spot is to transform it into a thriving retail hub that enhances community life. The sale of this parcel was successfully brokered by the commercial real estate firm NAI Columbia back in December of 2024. Locals may find the wait a little long, but good things come to those who wait!
Another Target? Yes, Please!
For those wondering, there is already one Target store present in Lexington, located at 5119 Sunset Blvd. This new shopping center will provide easy access to even more shopping options, allowing residents to enjoy the convenience of having two locations practically at their doorstep. It’s just another reason to be excited about what’s coming our way!
In summary, Lexington is on the brink of a shopping revolution, so keep an eye out for development updates as we move closer to that grand opening in the Fall of 2026. With an anchor like Target and a range of other retailers joining the scene, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic addition to our community!
