Target Opens October 11 in West Katy: Retail Jobs at Texas Heritage Marketplace

Published: September 27, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team

KATY, TX — A new Target opens Sunday, October 11, at Texas Heritage Marketplace on the far west side of Katy, and the store is staffing up now. The 148,000-square-foot store at I-10 and Texas Heritage Parkway anchors a $400 million retail center that already has a Lowe's open and a lineup of retailers and restaurants still to come, which makes this stretch of the Katy Freeway one of the busiest places in the metro to look for retail work this fall.

A new Target opens October 11 at 29355 Katy Freeway, with hiring underway ahead of opening day and more stores coming to the same center.

Where the New Katy Target Is

The new store sits on the far west end of the Katy Freeway corridor at Texas Heritage Parkway, the new north-south road that ties I-10 to FM 1093. It is built to serve the master-planned communities that have filled in out there over the past few years, including Jordan Ranch, Tamarron and Cross Creek Ranch.

Opening day was reported by Covering Katy, Community Impact and Connect CRE, and Target's own store page already lists the address and phone number. For anyone living in those neighborhoods, that could mean a retail job a few minutes from home instead of a drive in toward Houston.

💼 The Jobs Inside a New Target

Covering Katy reported the store will employ about 200 people. Target has not published a role-by-role breakdown for this location, so check its careers page for what is actually posted. A store this size typically needs sales floor and cashier staff, fulfillment team members to pick drive-up and pickup orders, overnight stockers, and the leads and managers who run each area.

One detail worth knowing before you apply: the pharmacy counter inside Target is run by CVS, so pharmacy technician jobs there are CVS jobs with their own application process. If you want to work the pharmacy, search CVS postings rather than Target's.

Check the pay range on each posting before you apply, and compare it against other west-side openings rather than guessing.

More Hiring Coming to Texas Heritage Marketplace

Target is not the only employer here. Lowe's opened in the same center on September 4 and, per Covering Katy, brought on more than 100 full- and part-time workers. The developer has also lined up Academy Sports and Outdoors, Burlington, Ulta Beauty, Spec's and several restaurants, including Texas Roadhouse and Olive Garden. EoS Fitness is planned for 2027, and a Sam's Club is under construction with no official opening date announced.

None of those tenants has announced a hiring date yet, so no headcount exists to report. If you want a job close to home out here, get your resume ready now and watch for postings as each storefront nears opening.
