Target

Not a Service Dog friendly store. Had my Service Dog in the cart… on top of waterproof barrier… was told that wasn’t sufficient. Even in Petco, she has never had an accident but did this for future customers. 3 service people came up and asked me about her. First 2 were wonderful and helped me find what I needed. 3^rd person said my dog, in the cart was unacceptable and to remove her. I removed both of us from Target and will never go back.

If you want to buy some groceries cheaper than Safeway and pick up some electronics, clothes or games this is the place for you.
Nice large car park and friendly staff. 5% off with your red card!
4 stars

I absolutely love this store. It’s clean, organized and the customer service is top notch. There’s a science to shopping here and boy does it save me a lot of money. If one is to shop here, I highly suggest you apply for a Target Red Card. The Red Card is available in two options, credit and debit. The credit card is just like any other but the debit card is linked to your current debit/​checking account. If you shop at target with your debit a lot, you mine as well get the debit. All you need is your ID and a blank check to the account you wanna use as your main payment source. The Red Card offers the holder 5% off store wide purchases, free shipping on
and an extra 30 days for returns totalling a whopping 120 day return policy with the exception of electronic items with a set return by date. Once you’ve acquired that, you’ll need to download cartwheel. Cartwheel by Target is a smartphone app available on ios and android and this app comes loaded with percentage coupons and discounts just for target. Cartwheel offers change every Sunday but also consists of daily specials so be sure to check the offers prior to shopping. Once you’ve selected your offers and saved them to your cartwheel, you’re done and ready to check out. Target allows you to stack saving on top of savings as they allow one target and one mfr coupon per item that can also be used with cartwheel offers and your 5% discount with your red card. Once you learn how to shop there, you’ll be in there a lot, lol. Also, be sure to inquire with guest service about targets price match service which has saved me thousands of dollars. Target will forever be my fav place to shop.

I never appreciated Target until I moved to the islands. I don’t know how they manage to do it, but there prices are darn near close to mainland. Best place to shop for food on the island, second to Costco in Kona. I found them to be cheaper than Walmart many times. Also any excuse to not go to Walmart is great. Walmart is crazy town/

Overall I love Target the franchise with their stylish everyday accessories, clothes, stationary, and household goods. Can’t beat the cartwheel app also. Love love love. Let me tell you what I don’t love… here’s a story. I’m totally against credit cards but since I shop at Target all the time. I thought it’d be beneficial for me to get a target red card so I can get 5% off. So I go sign up with the Target associate, she was an old lady with crooked eyes. She signed me up but entered an old PO Box on my ID. Note I had that PO Box 4 years ago and moved and changed PO box since then. I tried to tell the lady that and if she could please enter my current mailing PO box so I get my card. She’s like no, you can just change your address, call the number on the bottom of the temporary card receipt and they can change the address for you. NO, wrong old lady!!! So I call the number on the bottom 1−800−507−6438, come to find out it’s a CANDA number oh and the prerecording says we cannot change any address until you receive your card. So Ms. Old lady, you should really educate yourself before telling customers false information. She told me oh if you changed your address it should redirect to you, that was 4 years ago. USPS only save that info from your last mailing. Thanks lady! I wish you never got the credit for signing me up because I don’t even have my card and had to find the right target number, call and explain to them why I’m changing my address before actually receiving my card. Today when I come in I ask customer service before shopping if I could still get 5% but I never received my card and I don’t have ymy temp because it was expired. She told me they should be able to give it to you. I go to Ms. Old Lady cuz she’s the one who signed me up for the credit card with the wrong PO box after I asked her to put my current mailing PO box. When I ask her if I can still get 5% off and told her what customer service told me, she had the nerve to give me attitude and embarrass me by turning off her light to call a manager just to tell me no I can’t get 5%! It was your dumbass who put the wrong address in the first place then telling me under your breath you should just re-​direct the mail. Wtf. That’s someone else PO box now!!! I was just trynna save money. I swear I love Target but fck the service.

Sales and Clearance are the items to look for other than that everything seems over priced!

I LOVE target, and I’m there several times a week. I almost never walk out of that store empty handed. Ever since target opened up in Hilo I almost never shop at Walmart. You’d be surprised the good deals you can get here on food items as well. Also, the target brand up & up has some pretty good quality items for a bargain brand! You can always catch a great deal, especially if price matching to
or using their cartwheel app. One more notable mention, their ever changing $ 1 section in the front of the store always has cute nicknacks!

All Target stores have similar layout and this store isnt an exception. Though, this Target is crazy when certain things are on sale. I guess people like to buy it in bulk. Lot of the shelves are empty and understocked, always out of stock and waiting on shipments from the mainland.
Not the best but is the best in Hilo. If it wasnt for Target, I dont think I would have survived in Hilo, for real. Theres always enough cashiers open and most of them are super nice.
Bring your own bag and get a 5 cents-​discount in your purchase. Parking can be difficult at times especially when its raining but is doable.

The worst phone service I can ever remember experiencing. Called once, and was transfered to electronics. The phone rang for about 5 to 10 mins before I gave up. I called back again and while I was literally in the middle of asking a question, the woman transfered me to electronics again. I waited another 5 mins and still no answer. So I hung up and called again and this time they just completely didn’t bother to answer. Rude. Frustrating. Not helpful. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ll probably just go to Wal Mart.

Went there to get lightbulbs, sideways outlet (2 prongs), and picture hangers. Got all but the sideways outlet… looked like they were thin on inventory in that section (like it was picked through). This is the ONLY Hilo Target… that may be why. They were also out of other items on our last trip there earlier in the week, too… so think they just get overrun by the locals since this is the only Target around the area. Also, their «Aloha» section is also very tiny compared to Honolulu and other Oahu island targets… but figure that is because HIlo probably sees a lot less tourists (lol). Otherwise, it’s a pretty similar Target experience compared to the other Targets in Honolulu that I’ve been to.

Great place to go shopping and it’s cheap too they have everything that your looking for if you just moved here and you want to buy groceries and essentials you should come here and shop. There’s a Starbucks as we’ll here so that’s good but the only sucky things is the lines there’s not that much cashiers so the lines could take a while.

Target, how did I ever get by without you?
I wonder if Heaven is like being at a Target by yourself with a Starbucks in hand with endless amounts of cash in your envelope. Whoever said money can’t buy happiness has clearly never been to Target.
Target: Where you pay a little more to avoid going to Walmart.
That moment when you look around and realize your entire life comes from Target. Target is amazing. I can get a Frappucino in the adjoining Starbucks, a slice of pie from the Pizza Hut inside, and then go about to buying a bunch of stuff I didn’t realize I needed. Dollar bins — need I say more?
This is a super new Target. It has only been around for a few years so everything is still nice and new inside. My family likes to stop in on the weekends where it can get pretty busy but oh well. I wish they would open up all the lanes for check-​out. I usually stop in when I have to pick up a gift or buy some treats for that trashboat I call my cat. That ratchet cat doesn’t like the toys here for some reason. Oh well.
So yes, come in and buy your goods here. From detergent to soap, from clothes to home décor, it’s all good.

I’ve avoided Walmart ever since Target came to Hilo. The store is always clean & well organized & well stocked. The prices are great & it’s possible to save a ton of money buying clearance and sale items.

My fave «go to» store. The store is clean and organized. Good deals and great brands. My family and I usually do the Target run whenever we can. No matter what department you’re in, whether it’s women’s or men’s clothing, Electronics, Frozen foods, Fresh Produce, more than likely you’ll leave the store with more than a few items. Their clearance and sale items are what you need to go and search out for. Only because those are like treasures for a super nice price. A great store with great products and quality. Thank you Target!

Although I didn’t like this location at first, as Kona Target seemed cleaner and more organized, my criticism quickly melted away when I realized THIS Target has better clearance and possibly lower prices than Kona Target

As a Californian who saw the rise of Target in the 90’s, I’ve seen many a kind of Targets, but this place my friend is the biggest one I’ve seen with the nicest layout and selection of items, too.
Blame it on the Big Island having hella space to build upon (true) but it’s really huge! It’s has the grocery, the starbucks and even jamba juice offered by the ICEE machines! What??? Never seen that before.
The best thing about Target is that every store is kind set up the same so you’re never gonna get lost around it but the best part of this Target is the spacing of the aisles etc. It’s just bigger and more comfy. Even on a black Thursday/​Friday sale, I didn’t feel closed in as everyone has space to move about.

I was a loyal target shopper in kona, and also now in Hilo. The employees here are just as friendly as in the kona store. It is also as clean and the selection is just as good. I am also a fan of their «cartwheel» app, as it is a great money saver, and also the pharmacy rewards card. The consistency from store to store also keeps me a loyal shopper.

Welcome to the «Targetacitation» of America.
Much nicer and bigger than the old Targets in the Mainland.

My family and I are big fans of Target and were happy knowing that Hilo now has a Target store conveniently located in the heart of Hilo town. We were staying in Hilo for almost a week and were comfortable knowing that we could pick up anything that we needed there whether it be an extra can of sunscreen or bug spray to snacks and drinks. We definitely were in need of some Listerine and hydrocortisone cream after a day or so from all those pesky mosquitoes!
This store carried the usual Target goodies, but also a bunch of Hawaii specific related items, which I did a lot of browsing through to pick up some gifts for our friends back home. Along with this branch still looking pretty new, it was also quite organized and well stocked as Target stores normally are, and we were able to come in and out of the store many times finding everything we came in for and more. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

Once upon a time, there was this city called Hilo. It encompasses the zip codes of 96 720 and 96 721 and its inhabitants had to make the journey through the mountains and along the coast to reach a big box retailer in efforts to lower its purchasing costs. Yet as gasoline prices rose, so did the big box retailers in Hilo.
One such retailer was the last to arrive on the scene and its fresh smells and well stocked shelves greets you with its cold air conditioning on the hot and humid day. Whether you are looking for clothes, ziploc bags, or perhaps toilet paper, the Hilo store is bound to have it in its inventory and at very reasonable prices.
Its parking lot is large and spacious, and if they don’t have it, there is always the Safeway right next door!
Yes…Target you have the bulls-​eye on your exterior. You clearly are the one we aim for when it comes to our everyday household needs.
