Target Stores

How much you love this store will depend on what you want/​need. They certainly have more trendy clothes and accessories than Walmart, but not always the best quality (more Forever 21 type thin materials and washes of colors). They have a great variety of books, films and hair/​body products, but Walmart has taken up the bath and body products pretty good too and they’re usually at least a few $ less. Their tchotchkes are good and unique, but expensive for what you get. Finally, the grocery store – this is entirely dependent on the season. I began coming in the spring and thought they’re produce looked so fresh, not as much variety as Meijer down the road but about the same (but more organic) as the Payless. However, by mid-​summer I began to drop by and noticed there would be no berries, or grapes, etc – things all grocery stores carry that time of the year. Now, in Fall, I notice they have the produce but it’s far from fresh and expensive. Also, I’ve bought 2 rotisserie chickens here and one didn’t seem to be done enough and had an excess of fat inside (very slimy, couldn’t tell if it was that it wasn’t done or if it was fat), as well as being generally on the small side, and the second, while done, still had more fat than usual (even a Walmart bird) and less meat than most – for $ 6.49, when most are $ 5.99. Also, the second one I bought had a clear 3, for 3:30 when it was made, then they clearly put a 7, for 7:30, over it (I bought at 7:45). For the most part, while they have better pre-​made stuff in their deli than Walmart or Meijer, it doesn’t have very good flavor and is quite expensive. Finally, you can’t deny they have a great selection of the odds and ends – pre-​packaged (and usually organic) Indian, Asian, and Italian sauces and meals, and they’re not all that expensive, but if you spend the time in the aisles at Meijer you can find similar items there too. At this point I only stop by once a month to grab a container of their amazing Cranberry Orange Nut muffins, and the rest I’ll hold off for a trip to Meijer.

I’m not from Lafayette, but it’s about the halfway point for a quick dinner meeting with friends who usually are running late. What do I do to kill time when I arrive in Lafayette? Well, I usually swing by Target to see if they have anything different than the Indy stores, and can usually find things that are out of stock in Indy, or different scents/​sizes of Method cleaning products.

This location was a weird mish-​mash of the newer super-​store grocery and old school, neon-​signage Target. It was a little more difficult to navigate than some of the smaller and updated stores I’ve visited, but still a Target, still addictive to shop at. The bathrooms were clean, and the parking lot fairly simple to navigate. I easily returned a pair of gloves to customer service that I no longer needed, with no hassle and no wait.

This is one of the nicest and largest Super Target stores that I have ever been in.

I love this store! It is always clean and organized. I have had to return a couple things here and customer service has always been friendly and helpful. The dollar section usually has good deals.

its always easy to find alot of good things for your home here. my wife loves the dollar bins also. they have good prices on movies everyweek
