Target says it will replace the shuttered Raley's in South Lake Tahoe after a roof collapse this past winter.
Target's website confirms the replacement on its Future Store Openings section although the company does not give an estimated date of opening.
Earlier this month, a spokeswoman for Raley's said because of the roof damage, it would not be able to reopen before the store's lease expires on June 30tj.
They say they were unable to come to agreement with the landlord to extend the lease.
"We are deeply saddened to end our service to the community abruptly. We remain committed to our store on Emerald Bay Road and look forward to continuing to serve customers at that location."

Raley's at the Crescent V shopping center (next to Heavenly Village) is closed until further notice.
The City of South Lake Tahoe says the building has been evacuated due to structural concerns and for the safety of employees and patrons.
Collapse concerns are a continuing issue due to area heavy snow. Just this week, a gas pump caught fire after a canopy collapsed at the Swiss Mart Food & Gas station on Emerald Bay Road. No was hurt but the building site was temporarily red tagged.
