  • Target adds next-day delivery service for Durham.
  • Intown Golf Club to open second NC site in Raleigh's North Hills in 2026.
  • Several new retailers are coming to the North Hills Innovation District.

One of the most popular retailers in the Triangle will soon offer a new service for Durham residents.

Target is expanding its next-day delivery option to Durham. This option will be available starting by the end of September.

Durham is the first North Carolina market to get this Target service, and Charlotte is expected to be the next to receive it — by the end of October.

About 85% of the items Target sells in store will be available for next-day delivery. Durham customers should place online orders by 6 p.m. to get their purchases delivered the next day, Target said.

Target has the fourth-highest market share of grocery stores in the Durham-Chapel Hill metro area, The News & Observer previously reported. It has two stores in Durham.

The fast delivery service is free for orders over $35, for Target Circle 360 members or for people who use a Target Circle Card for purchases. For all other orders, delivery is $5.99.

Target already offers same-day delivery to 80% of the U.S. population and 99% of the country with two-day shipping.

This comes as Target continues to struggle. In an August earnings call, outgoing CEO Brian Cornell said the company has been “facing some major financial and operational hurdles” due to tariffs.

“While we were happy to see some improvement in Q2, we are far from satisfied with where our business is performing today,” Cornell said.

Private golf club expands to Raleigh

Intown Golf Club, a private social club for golfers, is opening a second North Carolina location in Raleigh.

Slated to open in a 13,000-square-foot space in the North Hills Innovation District, Intown Golf Club will offer eight Trackman-equipped simulator bays, food and beverages, a cocktail lounge and outdoor patio, and traditional golf club amenities such as bag storage, merchandise, lessons and locker rooms.

The company, which started in Atlanta, bills itself as “accessible, urban, and inclusive, built around a pricing model that fosters a diverse membership” — including “executives, creatives, young professionals, and those new to the game.”

Intown has one existing North Carolina club in Charlotte. Its other clubs are in Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Another location in Houston is expected to open this year.

“It’s not a surprise that we’re drawn to parts of the country that have a strong golf community — and that region, in particular — with the connections to Pinehurst, Donald Ross, and the USGA Hall of Fame — is right up there as the best,” Michael Williamson, co-founder and CEO of Intown Golf Club, said in a news release.

Intown Golf Club said it had already landed some founding members who have committed to the Raleigh location.

The Raleigh location is expected to open in 2026 at 541 Church at North Hills St. The North Hills Innovation District is home to retailers including Bofemme, TrenLend and Good Graces. Standard Beer + Food and Benchwarmers Bagels have also announced plans to open new locations in the district.

Clothing store opens at North Hills

Evereve, a women’s clothing boutique, is now open at Raleigh’s North Hills.

The store is in the Main District between Warby Parker and Tecovas. It is the second Triangle location for the brand, joining the store at The Streets at Southpoint mall in Durham.

Evereve sells items from the retailer’s house brand, along with clothing, shoes and accessories from popular labels including Birkenstock, Citizens of Humanity and Farm Rio.
