Target Store

Very nice newer target. This Target has a large grocery department with nice selection of frozen and packaged goods.
Layout is great and it is a very large floor plate giving you wide aisles without any stress. Large selection of all kinds of things.
Probably one of the better Targets in the Concord and Manchester area.

They had an awesome selection and I was pretty excited that they had dollar stuff that I’ve been looking for over a month.

By far this is the best shopping Concord has to offer. Seriously went to the mall afterwards and wanted to kill myself. The store was well stocked, clean and I checked out fast. My only complaint was I was looking for something and when I asked not one but two separate Target employees about it each looked at my blankly and said «I have no idea where we’d have that». They didn’t tell me Target didn’t have the item, just that they didn’t know where it would be located… and neither offered to help me find it either.

I shop at Target quite frequently and I shop at the Concord Target the most since it’s conveniently located near my workplace. Like other Target stores in NH, this store is very clean and bright with wider aisles (more room to walk) than Wal-​Mart. The interior and layout of this Target location was remodeled last year and now offers a decent variety of groceries and frozen foods.
I shop at Target mainly for the latest music and movies (new releases) since the sales prices are very competitive with Best Buy, Wal-​Mart and FYE. Best Buy is located next door making it very easy to comparison shop. Some of the deluxe CDs I’ve purchased are limited edition and only sold at Target stores. However, there were a few occasions when the new release CDs were not put out for sale in timely fashion (on a Tuesday afternoon?) and I ended up driving to the Hooksett Target to purchase the new release CDs I wanted.
Also, the café in front of the store is a great place to pick up a light snack and those grab & go salads make for a good quick lunch, especially when my lunch break is only 30 minutes. This location does not have a Starbucks kiosk like Target stores in Bedford and Salem, but there’s are good standalone Starbucks with Drive Thru located very close by.

When you’re abroad for nearly a year, that first trip back into a Target is as religious an experience as one can get.
It has EVERYTHING. It’s bright, big and clean. There’s tons of shampoo. You can buy a box of 250 Ibuprofen without coughing up your driver’s license. The cheese section — dear gods — it is beautiful.
Sure, the nostalgia wears off quickly, but for a time it’s pure magic.

The store itself is worth a solid four stars — pretty new, clean, lots of merchandise.
Why a two overall? Well the customer service I received gets ZERO stars. I received a baby outfit as a gift and went to exchange it for the next size up. As someone whose career is in retail, I’d say that’s about as straightforward an exchange as someone can make. However, Mr. I’m-In-A-Bad-Mood-And-Will-CUT-You Customer Service rep decided to make my day more difficult. When he asked for the receipt, which I did not have because it was a gift, he decided to accuse me of stealing the outfit. In a loud voice. So that the whole line behind me heard. When I explained the item was a gift and I had no receipt but I certainly did not steal it, he took that moment to yell loudly to the line «if you would just have your receipts out, this would go a lot faster!» Cue the dagger looks from the 5 people behind me all annoyed at waiting. Thanks, pal! Oh, and did I mention that since the item was now on sale it was an accused theft of $ 4.97? That’s right, I am out to get you, Target! So he finally agreed to take it back and then in a huff returned the wrong size. When I told him this, he threw the new item I wanted on the floor (thanks again!) before FINALLY returning the right one and allowing me to go over the registers with my new gift card for $ 4.97 to buy the one I wanted.
I’m proud that I was able to maintain a smile though that, but honestly dude — what’s your problem? Safe to say I will keep shopping at Target but make sure I NEVER return to that location for any form of customer service.

Let me tell you… when this Target (pronounced: tar-jz-eh…because pronoucing things as if they were French makes it/​us classy) came into my little NH life, it was a giant beacon of light in the bargain shopping world! The dollar section — always a must (you can find all sorts of stuff in there… some more useful than others, but it’s a DOLLAR). I always love Target’s clothing selection — kind of cheap hipster-​chic, and their clearance rack often yields excellent finds. Always a clean and put-​together store with great customer service and just about anything you’re looking for (batteries? closet organizer? fedora? warm pretzel? — all of the above *and more*).
This particular review was sparked by my recent stop and purchase of *da-​da-​da-​DA!!!* my Droid 2 !!! That’s right, peeps, there is now a Verizon kiosk at the Concord Tarjayyyyy!
#1: my Mum had phoned earlier and had asked the hours of this particular part of the store (Target closes at 10pm, but the kiosk itself/​the customer service rep leaves at 9p); upon hearing the hours, and knowing that I was commuting up from Boston, she asked if there was any way that the rep wouldn’t mind staying until I arrive (by 8:45) to make the sale. The answer: yes (the Verizon store would NOT have done this for us).
#2: I had narrowed my upgrade selection down to the Droid 2 and the HTC Incredible. So I was playing with the display phones (you know… click-​click, tap-​tap, what seems like it could take a hit if I dropped it from my clumsy fingers) when I was approached by the rep, Dexter, who had guessed that I was the late appointment. He took my requirements into consideration and we debated the pro’s and con’s of each phone (…I apparently know nothing about consumer report research, lol, this guy knows his isht!). He helped me with my selection (the keyboard really makes the difference, in case you, reader, are ALSO looking to upgrade to 3G).
#3: Family arrives, Dexter gives each one of us the attention and advice we require (SERIOUSLY dedicated to customer service). He gave individual and detailed product descriptions, pricing, billing, connectivity, etc — on ANY phone we asked about (even phones not in our network — I had been curious about the HTC equipped with hinged keyboard, so he gave me the det’s). He walks us through the 2year contact, he describes what we’re buying and what we’re paying… step-​by-​step-​by-​step.
#4: Helps both my brother (HTC-​devotee) and myself start up our phones and download some crucial app’s («task manager» and «anti-virus»…neither I would have known about if it hadn’t been for Dexter, THANK YOU!). He helped us connect with Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, settings adjustments, let us know about useful app’s (and how to avoid additional charges — yikes!). The man stayed with us until NEARLY 10PM!!! AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE! AND he said that if we EVER had a problem to swing by the store and he’d sit down with us and help us out (the Droid’s manual is SO big it doesn’t actually come with the phone when you buy it… what?!), and he said that he’d help me out over the phone since I live so far away. Holy — moley — NEVER have I EVER been assisted by such a devoted and insightful representative.
Target’s cool — — - but this is DEF where I’ll be at for future Verizon needs (this dude knows it all).
