Target plans to build a 148,000-square-foot store in east Fishers, not far from Hamilton Town Center, according to Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. It will be the retailer’s second store in the fast-growing suburb.
Fadness announced the news Wednesday during his annual State of the City address.
“Nothing says you’ve made it like having two Target stores in your city,” he said. “If any of you have ever tried to get into the 116th Street Target store at either Christmas time or really any Saturday, you know it’s a very, very busy place.”
Target has filed plans to build the store on 21.8 acres at Interstate 69 Exit 210, north of East 136th Street, east of North Olio Road, west of Minden Drive and south of Southeastern Parkway.
The store will feature “a dedicated drive-up order location, extensive native landscaping and an improved pedestrian experience,” according to the city.
Construction on the store is expected to begin sometime later this year.
Target’s other store in Fishers is at 11750 Commercial Drive, just northwest of Interstate 69 and 116th Street. The retailer has more than 10 stores in central Indiana.
Target stores average 125,000 square feet, according to the company. In 2023, the company opened three stores averaging 135,000 square feet, in Yonkers, New York; New Caney, Texas; and Prosper, Texas.

The mere fact that the people of Fishers have had to live this long with just one Target is shameful – if you want to call that living.
