Target is opening its newest store on July 16 in Kaneohe on Oahu, according to a news release. A VIP soft opening was held Tuesday evening to welcome the shiny, two-story shopping destination to the Windward community. It was formerly the Sears department store.

Located at 46-056 Kamehameha Hwy., the 128,000-square-foot retail space will sell groceries, alcohol, college essentials, beauty products, Starbucks coffee, and more. Plus, the store’s parking lot will offer electric vehicle charging stations.
