(Updated on 4/8/22) The new, 34,000 square foot Target store in Pentagon City is finally open.
Store employees confirmed to ARLnow that the big box store at the corner of Army Navy Drive and S. Joyce Street at Westpost — the mixed-use retail center formerly known as Pentagon Row — is indeed open to shoppers.
The store had a “soft opening” on Tuesday with an official grand opening set for this Sunday (April 10). A sign on the door still notes the April 10 opening, which was pushed back from what had originally been an announced April 3 opening.
Construction and supply chain delays pushed the opening back by a few days, a store employee said.
Happy to report that @Target has opened at @PentagonRow. Already checked – carts are available in two sizes, the classic full-sized as well as a mini. @ARLnowDOTcom @WTOP @NationalLanding @ArlingtonVA 👍🛒 pic.twitter.com/AH0NJ7Xw2Y

The store will be open from 7 a.m to 10 p.m., according to the company’s website. This is Arlington’s third Target, joining more locations in Ballston and Rosslyn.
The store takes over the space that was formerly occupied by Bed, Bath, & Beyond, which closed back in September 2020. It had been at that location in Pentagon City for nearly two decades.
Target is not the only highly-anticipated business to open at Westpost over the past several weeks. Nighthawk Pizza, a beer and pizza hall with “90s vibes,” began doing business late last month.
