From a first-ever Target in Johnston County to a new romance bookstore near downtown Raleigh, there has been a wave of news for Triangle shoppers. In addition to the business openings, a Village District furniture store is on the move.

Here are key takeaways:

  • Big-box retailer Target will open its first Johnston County store on Sunday, May 17, at 551 St. Mark Ave. in Selma, anchoring the Eastfield development. The nearly 129,000-square-foot Selma store will employ around 140 people and include an Apple at Target, CVS Pharmacy and Starbucks Café. The Selma location and a Myrtle Grove store opening the same day will be Target’s 56th and 57th locations in North Carolina.

  • Furniture retailer Nadeau Raleigh liquidated inventory ahead of a move from 426 Woodburn Road to 1405 Capital Blvd. The store’s last day at Village District was April 28, with the larger Capital Boulevard location expected to open by mid- to late-May.
