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 Minden Drive, south of Southeastern Parkway and west of North Olio Road.
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.
Correction: A previous version of this article provided an incorrect location for the Target store. It will be north of East 136th Street, east of Minden Drive, south of Southeastern Parkway and west of North Olio Road.

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.
Walmart and Costco take heed…You’re behind in the Fishers Store Quality of Live standard…
I thought this plot of land was slated for HyVee. I wonder what happened there.
I believe that was going in behind/south of Culvers
“Nothing says you’ve made it like having two Target stores in your city” lol okay Scotty, now back to ribbon cuttings at pizza places.
Scotty seems to have forsaken his first love. Scotty needs to get back to his roots and “KEEP BRINGING THE PIZZA SCOTTY”!!!!
Nothing says “an improved pedestrian experience” like a 20 acre parking lot on a freeway exit ramp.
Fishers might be worse than Carmel now. Cool you got another store that every other town has. Congrats on getting this off of the backs of your townsfolk working in Indianapolis and then scurrying off home to Hamilton County after work. Talk to anyone you know from Fishers right now and they’ll tell you living in Indianapolis, where all of their jobs are, and they act like living in Indianapolis, even in a nice decent house, you are living in a third world country.
