Target just opened its first Receive Center in Houston. The new Receive Center will service six regional distribution centers and one flow center, helping replenish the inventory that then goes to stores. Positioned between Import Warehouses in Georgia and Washington, it complements those coastal facilities by adding regionally based capacity — helping get products to the right place faster and at a lower cost with shorter distances traveled.
Target supply chain teams designed the 1.2-million-square-foot facility using immersive 3D visualization and simulation technology at the company’s XR Experience Center in Minneapolis. The opening of the $265 million Receive Center brings 185 new jobs to Houston, adding to the more than 6,300 Target team members who already work at the 40 stores and sortation center in the area. There are several new Target stores slated for Houston in the upcoming year.
