Target Stores

Target is Target. You get what you expect. Slightly higher prices than Walmart. Slightly better products. Some of the employees are super friendly. Some are very nasty. They did have what I was looking for (kind of) — giant ziploc bags, but they weren’t easy to find. Maybe that was just me…

This place is like a library… I could probably curl up in the book section with a good book and never be bothered. Since it is located in an abandoned mall, there is hardly a time where it is very crowded, unlike the Clearview location. They are always fully stocked and everything is organized. The lines are never long, and to make it even better you can grab a Starbucks coffee or popcorn to enjoy your relaxing shopping experience. You never have to hunt for parking or worry about seeing 1,000 people you know (unless all of your friends are ghosts). This is the only Target I will go to now!

I love this Target! It’s big and conveniently attached to the Esplanade mall. It’s also very clean and not too crowded unlike the Clearview target which is too overwhelming with merchandise and people.
Also, this Target has some of the most helpful employees! I was greeted and asked to be helped by almost everyone.

I came all the way from the Westbank to find baby items that weren’t available at the Harvey and Metairie Targets. This store is cleaner and more organized than the other stores. And the fact that most of my items were on clearance helped cushion the blow that I had to travel further to find what I was looking for.

This Target is about a bajillion times better than the Metairie location. The Kenner Target is not loud and chaotic, its actually quite peaceful. I have gone here a few times at various times and days and each time it was a breeze. I was able to move my cart in and out of every lane with ease and never run into any road blocks or traffic jams. Atlas, I was able to find out what it was like to shop at a Target with no escalator. Everything is on one single floor, the way it should be. They also have a larger grocery section, but its still not a super Target so it won’t have everything, but will have your essentials.
After telling my husband how nice this Target was he had to see it for himself. The first thing he said when we walked it was, «Are they about to close?» I said, no… it’s just that nice and quiet.
They have a Starbucks inside so you can peruse each aisle with your favorite latte. Even though Starbucks is not my first choice when it comes to coffee, its very nice to have it as an option. They also have the target café which sells various things including Pizza Hut just in case you spend too much time inside and need subsistence ASAP. My husband loves their popcorn for a dollar and basically can’t shop at Target without it now.
The checkout has never been an issue as the longest I have ever had to wait was 5 minutes (if that). Parking is also hassle free. So its basically Disney World for adults.

Everyone has been raving about this jumbo (for the GNO) super-​target, but I was like well this alright. I wasn’t super impressed with the stock and the one thing I needed from the grocery section (a lemon cake mix), they didn’t have.
I found some of the things I needed but ultimately this location is just too far from home to be my regular store… but if I ever decide shop on the way home from the airport again, I’ll definitely stop in.

Not as much merchandise as the Metairie store but it’s also not total chaos like the Metairie store!
This location usually isn’t very busy. It’s my go-​to for odds and ends that I need. I can get what I want and not lose my sanity.

This is a pretty glam Target, but it’s too far from my home to put it in the permanent rotation. However, if it were a SuperTarget…

I love Target. I especially love a Target with a Starbucks in it. This Target has what I need.

I love this Target, conveniently located in Esplanade Mall. reminds me of the one in Clearview Mall, but with a purpose. The mall actually have stores worth shopping at! This Target is new, nice, clean and has a Starbucks.

I LOVE Target. This new location is not even close to home, but it beats the local Walmart. Yes, I live in New Orleans and have avoided the Tchoupitoulas Walmart often just to go to Target. I usually end up at Clearview because its closer of the two, but I love all Targets the same. I really like this location’s lay-​out over the Clearview location. I really enjoy not having to deal with the 2^nd story escalator being broken often, it has a mini Starbucks inside, and the grocery section is larger (or so I think it is). YAY Target!

Having a small child makes the Metairie Target a pain in the butt… have to either wait FOREVER for the elevator, or take the kid out of the cart and use the escalator since it is 2 stories high. The Westbank location never has as much awesome stuff in stock as the Metairie one, though, so it was always my one-​stop-​shop on the weekends.
I am SO grateful for the new Kenner location! It has just about everything that the Metairie one has (oh, and more, since it has a café with Starbucks and Pizza Hut)… and it’s only one floor. Yay! Fresh groceries, too, which is what the Westbank location was lacking up until about a week ago.
If the rumors are true about them converting the Dillards at this mall to a Kohls, I may never leave the Esplanade Mall because I love this Target, and I love Kohls too.

Oh Target… we have such a love/​love relationship and I never want it to end. I am super psyched that you finally have another location! THANK YOU! This store is only one story compared to its taller sister in Metry but it’s just fine with me. It has all the great things you can come to expect at Target and it is FINALLY open (cue the choir!)
