5 Big Changes Coming This Year To Montana Target Stores

Target Shakes Things Up In 2026

There’s an old saying: "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it." Usually solid advice, but sometimes businesses just can’t resist shaking things up.

Right now, Target is doing exactly that, with five big changes coming to Montana in 2026.

And honestly, they need it. 2025 was rough. Falling sales, a 17% drop in stock, and over 1,000 corporate layoffs. So yeah, “broken” might be putting it lightly.

Expanding Good & Gather: More Grocery Options

First up, Target is expanding its popular grocery line, Good & Gather. More products will hit the shelves, plus more fresh fruits and veggies, which is always a win.

Ulta Beauty Replaced By Target’s Beauty Studio

Next, Ulta Beauty is out, and in its place is what Target is calling the Beauty Studio. You’ll still see some big-name brands, plus a new loyalty program to keep shoppers coming back.

Fun101: Merging Toys, Video Games, and Books

Third, some departments are merging. Video games, toys, and books will now live under the “Fun101” section. Expect more toys, plushies, and Legos, while items that haven’t sold well in recent years get scaled back.

Home & Garden Overhaul Coming to Target

Fourth, the home & garden section is getting a major overhaul. Target says roughly 75% of it will be updated, which could be the biggest change yet.

Clothing Trend Updates and Designer Partnerships

Finally, clothing is getting a boost. Trends will hit racks faster, more big-name designers will be added, and there’s a new partnership with Levi’s.

Whether all of this is enough to bring back shoppers who’ve strayed over the past year remains to be seen, but it’s definitely a start.
