Target has an opening date for its newest and biggest Manatee County store.
On Sunday, Aug. 17, the retail giant will open its doors at 725 Lighthouse Drive, Bradenton, near Costco in the Marketplace at Heritage Harbour shopping plaza.
The store encompasses more than 149,000 square feet and is expected to have about 200 employees, the company said.
