What’s the “Real” Difference Between a Target and Super Target?
Target isn’t just a grocery store, it’s a place you can score all types of items from electronics, to clothing, and more. While the traditional Target stores offer all sorts of food and non-food purchases, a Super Target store offers even more options for shoppers. Super Target stores, as the name suggests, are even bigger Target locations that offer a wider selection of items and services for shoppers. Read on to learn more about the difference between regular Target stores and Super Target stores.
What are the Differences Between Target Vs Super Target?
Super Targets are basically a much larger Target store that offers a wider selection of items (and services) compared to a regular Target store.
While both Super Targets and regular Targets offer food and non-food related items, the BIGGEST difference between them is a Super Target typically has a full sized bakery, produce, meat, and deli section.
Not to mention, many Super Targets will offer various services that most regular Targets don’t offer (more on this later).
Another distinction is most Super Target locations have 2 set of doors on the front of the building, with one of the sets taking you directly into the grocery side.
Also, Super Targets will have the name “Super Target” written on the outside which is another clear indicator of the type of store you’re entering.
How Many Super Targets Are There?
239.
There are currently about 239 Super Targets in the U.S.
With thousands of Target stores currently in operation, Super Targets make up a small percentage of total Target stores.
Also, Super Targets are only found in some states (about a dozen states around the U.S).

This is because while there are only hundreds of Super Targets, there are thousands of Walmart Super Center stores across the United States.
