Target will open its Ballston, Virginia, location Aug. 16 — its 10th-smaller, urban-format store in the D.C. area.

The 41,000-square-foot Target, on the ground floor of The 491-unit Waycroft apartment building, is at 740 N. Glebe Road.

Urban-format Target stores cater inventory specifically to the neighborhoods in which they open. Most of them open in dense urban areas and near college campuses.

The Ballston location carries clothing, home goods, grab-and-go groceries, beer and wine, and has a CVS pharmacy.

The location will employ 120 people.

Target recently raised its starting hourly wage to $15 an hour and has been giving employees bonuses for working during the COVID-19 pandemic.

More than 120 of Target’s 1,900 stores in the U.S. are urban-format locations.

Target’s first urban-format store in the D.C. area opened in Rosslyn in 2015. The most recent openings were stores in D.C.’s Ivy City at 1515 New York Ave. NE and in Tenleytown, at 4500 Wisconsin Ave. NW, in a former Best Buy location.

Should you buy a house with cash?

High mortgage interest rates may have you exploring alternative ways of buying your home that don't require a loan. And while the competition for a new home may not be what it was in 2021, for the right home you may still need to work to get a leg up on the competition. If you have the means, an all-cash offer is a great way to fast-track a deal and avoid the additional costs that come with a mortgage. A seller is more likely to accept your offer, and the success of the deal isn't reliant on a lender's OK following an appraisal. You'll also own the home outright after the transaction with no mortgage to pay each month.
