Target Corporation's discount retail chain in the United States has 1,330 stores in 47 states that operate under the mastheads of Target, Target Greatland, and SuperTarget. The first Target store opened in 1962 in Roseville, Minnesota. That store was closed and demolished on January 8, 2005 to make room for a SuperTarget in its place. Target stores are generally 95,000 to 125,000 square feet (12,000 m²) and carry hardlines ("normal" products and goods), softlines (clothing), and a limited amount of groceries, usually non-perishable. Target Greatland stores are about 150,000 square feet (14,000 m²), and those stores have more general merchandise than a Target. SuperTargets are about 175,000 square feet (16,000 m²), and carry everything a smaller Target does in addition to a full-service grocery store. Target Corporation has aggressive plans to have 2,010 stores open by the year 2010.
