Hot chicken restaurant, burrito spot planned at new Lexington Target development.

Hot chicken restaurant, burrito spot planned at new Lexington Target development. April 30, 2026 11:38 AM Gift Article Two new restaurants are on the drawing board at an under-construction development that will bring in a new Target and other businesses to a site near Lexington High School. Dave's Hot Chicken and Chipotle Mexican Grill are each planned for the coming Victory Village shopping center along the 2500 block of Augusta Highway, just west of Lexington High School, according to online documents from NAI Columbia, the commercial real estate firm handling leasing and sales at the property. A diagram of the Victory Village site shows the planned Dave's Hot Chicken and Chipotle at the southeast corner of the development, near Augusta Highway. The Victory Village shopping center was initially announced in 2025 and will be anchored by a new Target store, which is under construction now. Another major tenant in the complex will be Academy Sports + Outdoors, which will be on the northeast corner of the development, per diagrams of the site from NAI Columbia Dallas-based 413 Solutions, whose co-founder is former Dallas Cowboys star Emmitt Smith, is developing the site and plans to ultimately have more 230,000 square feet of retail space at Victory Village. The property is roughly 27 acres. Materials from NAI Columbia indicate that a number of other retail spaces - including spaces directly neighboring the Target and Academy or outparcels near Augusta Highway - are either under contract or have letters of intent under negotiation. Several spaces remain available for lease and there is one outparcel for sale near the highway. Dave's Hot Chicken is a popular, growing chain known for, as the name suggests, hot chicken fingers and sandwiches. The company has nearly 400 locations across the U.S., according to data website ScrapeHero. There currently is one Dave's Hot Chicken in the Midlands, located at 4601-A Devine St. in Columbia. Chipotle, meanwhile, is a ubiquitous name on the American dining scene, with more than 4,000 locations nationwide, including several in the Midlands. The company is known for its stuffed burritos, quesadillas, tacos and more.
