Target Store

I think we can all agree we have a target addiction problem. I had to write this because I’ve had really stellar customer service experience at this location. Returns are always a breeze, I can call ahead and ask for assistance locating furniture items in advance. I even had a guy on the phone in the toy section help me shop (and recommended items) for my nerf gun needs, the day I planned a surprise ambush with friends on my husband-​at an empty house we just bought. All around really great. Also a tip for those with an occasional sweet tooth, Tinkleberry cupcakes are sold individually in the produce section.

Yeah, it’s a Target, but wow! I have never seen so much liquor on the shelf in a Target store. Beer, wine, hard liquor. Really? Clearly the alcohol laws are different here and I don’t even really drink. Too bad.
It’s not a Super Target, but it’s big enough to pick up a few necessities and nice an dclose to the hotels. They carry the basics, have a small produce section and frozen, fast items.
Self check outs always a plus!

My new addiction, Moving on from Walmart…

I am here way too often for my (wallet’s) own good. I drive by it several times a week, though, so it’s not my fault. It’s just so easy to run in and grab something… and then another thing… and then quick check the clearance racks… and then the hodge-​podge of stuff on the clearance end caps.
Part of why I keep coming back is they have a pretty decent savings set up.
1) Coupons that print with your purchases that are actually for things you buy. Thanks, data mining!
2) The Target debit/​credit cards give you 5% off all purchases and grant you free shipping with no minimum order. Surprisingly, I have not abused this, but it has come in handy a few different times when I can’t find what I need in store and just get it sent.
3) Their Cartwheel app. Again, totally a ploy to data mine/​market research, but whatever. Scan your items and see what has secret discounts. I practically live here, they can know my shopping habits.
I’ve been impressed by staff at this location on several occasions whether they’ve gone digging through the stock room to find something that’s showing as available in store online but hasn’t been unpacked yet, have walked with me through the store to find some random display, or have recommended other stores when they don’t have what I’m looking for.
Love you, Target, never change. Unless you want to expand. I guess I’d allow it.

No music on the loudspeakers is awesome!

Nice Target. Not sure on the bad reviews. I thought it was easy to get around and find what I needed. I grocery shop here weekly and I have had pretty good service.

Strange to review a Target, but lately this store hasn’t been as appealing. The layouts have become a little confusing. My friends and I have had trouble locating basic items such as tools, home supplies, and even kids’ items. The placements often seem illogical, grocery area now included, as well.
I’m a shoe connoisseur, but sadly the last few pairs bought have been terrible. Sneakers wore out immediately, sandals broke at the toe after one week, and heels lost shape after one wearing causing nasty cuts all over my feet. While obviously I don’t expect great quality from Target, a little higher end would be nice.
Photo machines in-​store are great, but online from home setup needs work. Very slow and unorganized.
Also, went in to pick up a few groceries last week for a big cabin trip. Found bags of potato chips on sale, but no French onion dip. Finally asked an employee who informed me they no longer carry it. Seriously?!? Chips but no dip?
Kohl’s and Hy vee are seeing more business from me now. Sorry, Target, we had a good run.

Better than the rest in terms of service.

This Target has always been a bit awkward (even when it was, for a time, known as «Target Greatland»). The layout is different to any other location I’ve ever been in and I just find getting around difficult.
Apart from that, the product selection is good and it’s even got an extended grocery range. So, great stuff, but weird to get around.

In the olden days before Madison ever heard of anything called a «Super-​Target» this was the target to go to. I have always loved target stores because of their prices, locations, in-​stockedness, and friendly employees. They always seem to have whatever you need in stock rather than «oh we can order that for you.» I agree that this target store can be very busy at times but it is on the west side of madison where a lot of people work and live so I understand why.
I always appreciated the fact that most employees were willing to scour the store the store to find the product you were looking for an rather than «hmm maybe isle 12 – 33?» they would take you over there. Merchandise was tidy, inviting, and overall appealing and were proud to take home whatever you purchased.
Since about 2007 though, it has sort of just gone down hill. Since the opening of a Super Target to the south, this particular target has been trying to play Copy Cat. Now I don’t know if it the company itself trying to transfer every store into that 1-​stop shop but it isn’t working. Super Target stores make sense because they are meant to be massive. Stuffing in a partial grocery store, Starbucks, and café into a normal sized one is insane. Don’t get me wrong the Starbucks can be a life saver sometimes but other times I don’t want to stand behind 30 other people trying to get a Hot Dog while the shop… Thats what Sam’s club is for.
So I give this noble location a 3 of 5 for the continuing fight that Target seems to uphold with competitive prices and, in my opinion, continuing kindness and investment into its’ customers though please stop trying to be something your not. Let the SuperTarget take your grocery seeking customers and put more time back into your current customers and merchandise.

Target stores overall are definitely my favorite big-​box stores to visit. They don’t always have the lowest price on items compared to other stores, but they are usually quite reasonable. I have had both good and bad experiences at this store, which I typically visit at least once per week. Most of the time I have no trouble with this store and have had good interactions with most of its employees. However, when I tried to buy a new TV they brought the wrong one out of the stock room. Unfortunately, I did not realize until I was pulling my car up to the store that I had been given and purchased the wrong one, and I had to go through a bit of a hassle to get the correct one.

I agree with the other reviewers. Worst Target ever. And yes, I am a Target connoisseur.
This store is always crazy busy, you always feel like you are going to get run over in the parking lot, employees are rude, slow and unhelpful. The layout of this store if funky, too.

I do love Target, but after this experience I will no longer shop at the specific Target. Last week I ran into Target to purchase two C. D’s one for myself and one a gift. One of them was regular price and one was on sale for only $ 9.99. I thought great, what a deal! I go up the check-​out, which is busy, and wait a few minutes to find that my C.D. did not come up as the sale price posted. The check-​out girl gets a manager to come over and he does a price check. I tell him there are two versions of the C.D. a deluxe and regular, I had chosen the regular. He asks if I got in on the end of a isle on in the middle. I tell him in the middle under pop/​rock. He tells me the C.D. is $ 13.99 on a big display at the end of an Isle and says nothing more. It’s been about 4 – 5 minutes now and there are people waiting behind me. So I say «Ok, Never mind, I do not want it then.» The girl just stares and me and the manager just stands there? I have no idea what is going on, so I say again, «Never mind, I don’t wait it» and swipe my card. Again, a silence and they are both just standing there. I say «I swiped my card» to the check out lady and she «ugh’s» at me and give me my receipt without my bag with my other C.D. in it. I had to literally reach over the counter to get it. I decided to run back to the C.D. section to re-​read the SALE sign I saw. Ha, well it was gone. They had taken in down, so I talk to someone in the Electronic department and they have no Idea what is going. The manager comes back and explains that yes, the sign was left up past the sale date and I did not wait long enough for him to find out… I told him that he had me standing there in silence for almost 10 minutes talking on his «walkie talkie» and maybe a «one minute ma’am» or «Im just looking into that for you miss» would have been a nice indication that he wasn’t just standing there staring off into space. He proceeded to argue with me telling me that I just walked away from him. Why didn’t he say «Wait one minute Ma’am» or something, anything for that matter??? Too bad I didn’t catch his name, or else that would be on here too. I shut him up by saying «Don’t worry about it, I will be returning the one C.D. I bought and buying both at Best Buy, I’m sure they will appreciate my business!» I got my C.D. at Best Buy for ONLY $ 6.99 :) See if you can beat that Target!

You know what you are getting when you go to a Target. You expect quality merchandise at a moderate price. This target has that. This Target also had terrible service. I like Target, but not this one. This morning I purchased a DVD that was in a locked security case. I stood at the counter for seven minutes while the clerk paged the manager on duty to unlock it. The manager never came so I lost patience and returned it. This store Also never had express lanes open so you always will wait in line. I don’t mind paying higher prices if it comes with better service. I’d pass on this Target and go to Costco, Sams, or Walgreens all within a 5 minute drive
