Target

I adore this shop! Large, clean, and the clerks are amazing! I found everything I wanted and then some! Open early & open late! Iam so happy they started a shop in East Liberty. The music department has an excellent variety and excellent CDs on SALE! The food collection have most name brands and the produce is really fresh

This is a great Target. Clean and large. There is a free parking garage, and once inside the store, you can either ride the escalator, take the stairs, or the elevator. There is also a special cart escalator just for your carts. There’s also a designated, covered «Bike parking lot». I have always found the employees, while not usually super talkative or friendly, to be atleast not-​rude.

I come to Target for everything. I don’t care what it is, this is my shop for all needs. East Liberty location is fun because of the cart escalator. Who could get tired of that???

I was looking for a particular newly released CD and according to
this location had 4 in stock so I stopped by this location on my way home after work. I went to the new release section of CDs and couldn’t find it. I even went to the specific genre of music and still couldn’t find it.
So I then went over to the electronics customer service desk and showed one the employees the CD I was looking for on my phone and that they should have 4 in stock and that I couldn’t find any. He then checks a hand held scanner and says «Yeah it says we have 4 in stock.» No, really?!
He then said that maybe the CDs were put in a different place by another customer and told me to go back and look again and then walked away like he couldn’t be bothered. Not offering to help me look or even to check and see if there were any in the back. So much for customer service. I then spent 20 minutes checking every CD they had looking for the CD I wanted. No luck so I just left pissed!
This was my favorite Target but, that is quickly changing the other way.

Target is my go to for toiletries and cleaning supplies. Every now and again, I see decent deals on athletic wear and cosmetics. You get 5 cents off for each reusable bag you use.
Shelves are generally well stocked. The restrooms and store as a whole is pretty clean. There’s a Starbucks and Pizza Hut at this location. Never had any complaints with customer service. There is plenty of parking here.
The lines can be long and slow.

This location is pretty big and has a covered lot, which is really nice when it’s raining. The lot always seems busy, but I’ve never seen it run out of spaces and compared to the Shadyside Market District garage, it feels safer. Cars usually slow down to let you cross and don’t just speed around the lot.
It’s clean inside and well stocked. The staff seems polite. We shop here for all our essentials and love that they carry Zapps chips since we can never find them anywhere else. The seasonal back corner is convenient to find decorations or other seasonal appropriate items.
The registers are set up in 2 rows, so people tend to line up at the back ones and ignore the front registers. So watch out for that since you can probably just go to one of the front ones. They usually have a lot of registers open so you never have to wait for long, unless people in front of you are confused by the new chip card readers.
In general, it’s a Target, but this one is conveniently located and easy to navigate.

Terrible Service. All of them are like robots reading from a piece of paper… Not helpful at all!!! Better service at McDonalds

I would like to remove my review and I don’t know how.

I’m not big on chain stores, but this Target does a lot to serve the community. The cashiers have a wonderful sense of humor, and I generally feel welcome in the store. It’s easy to park, and there’s a cool escalator that carts can ride.
Excellent prices, a well laid out store. Plus a good selection of ice cream.

I love this target. I bought a kuerig here. Easy to find stuff. Big furniture section. Love this store.

I really like the selection this target offers. It seems to have a way better selection than the ones I’m used to in Jax, FL where I moved from. The only bad thing is the location. It is very odd and seems a bit sketchy especially if you are taking public transportation.

Love this Target location! It’s the perfect rainy day destination. The parking garage is on the first floor, and you have to take an elevator or escalator up to the actual store. For the most part, it offers very similar products as your average Target. Like many new or recently updated locations, it has a good sized grocery and food section. However, I did recently see an amazing home display set up that I had never seen at any other location. Though I don’t live close by, I do enjoy swinging by when I’m shopping at nearby Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s.

Target never seems to amaze me! This particular East Side store is always well stocked and inviting. By using the Target app I am also able to see availability of items in store, which saves me an unnecessary trip most times.
The food is fresh and reasonable. And the selection of items is very good. The sales are comparable to that of area grocery stores, but Target normally beats their pricing.
Household items and the selection of bedding, bath, and kitchen are abundant. Always with the latest in design.
Overall, I LOVE THIS STORE. It’s really the only Target in the area that I like to shop at.

There isn’t usually a reason to review chains like Target, but this Target is not like the other Targets in Pittsburgh. So here’s the skinny:
If you have ever been to the Target on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, this Target is the same set up! I like that this Target has a plethora of free, covered parking with security guards. Also, the separate people and cart escalators are fantastic to get up to the shopping level. This Target also comes equipped with a Starbucks and Pizza Hut Express.
Otherwise, this Target is pretty standard as compared to other Targets. It’s a bit smaller, although the freezer and prepared foods sections are pretty impressive. It can get really picked over, but it fills a void in the area.

When I was still a newbie to Pittsburgh, I would occasionally (well, maybe more than «occasionally») get lost while walking and driving around Oakland and Shadyside. It did not help that I would usually get nervous and frazzled in the middle of Baum Blvd, Centre Avenue, and Fifth Avenue, the three of the most congested streets in the area.
«Am I going west? East? Didn’t I just pass that Subway? Oh my god, BUS!» *screech*
Ahem, thankfully, nobody has been injured on my part. Anyway, I used to always look for this Target whenever I drove on Centre Avenue. If I saw this store in front of me, I knew I was heading east. Thus, Target had become my magnetic pole, allowing me to orient myself in the chaos that is Pittsburgh.
Aside from saving my skin on numerous occasions while driving, it has also, quite literally, saved my skin with its vast selection of skin and first-​aid products. The scent of freshly brewed coffee from the nearby Starbucks greets me as I take the escalator up from the lobby to the second floor. Many of the departments are well-​stocked, organized, and clear of clutter. One exception is the clothing department, where some shirt may have fallen off their hangers or bags of socks ripped open and their contents spewed everywhere. Cleanup on aisle… socks, please?
I don’t have any complaints about the electronics department. Again, organized, well-​stocked, and clean. The employees that are usually assigned there are very helpful and professional. I haven’t looked much at the books and magazines that are on sale. I think quite a few of them are discounted 10−30%. The grocery department is, surprisingly, usually quite clean! I would have thought that with all the produce and refrigerated items, there would at least some spoiled products and a fruit fly or two buzzing around. But nope, after my close inspection, the apples and bananas are bruise and fruit-​fly free!
(Your results may vary, of course, depending on how busy the store is, what the drought status is, how happy the employees are, and how the stars are aligned that day).
In the household products department, I can usually find sales and clearances on paper towels, toilet papers, and bath and skin products. They may be not huge sales, but a sale is a sale, even if it saves you $ 0.50 or so.
Overall, this is one of the nicest Target stores I’ve been to. That being said, getting here and finding a parking space, especially on a weekend, is a nightmare! Why did they place a Target store right at the intersection of Centre Avenue and Penn Avenue, two very busy and congested streets? It will only get busier and more congested once construction on the East Liberty Bus Terminal finishes, new apartment complexes are built, and more stores open in East Liberty and Bakery Square. I’m just hoping the infrastructure also gets a facelift so traffic will ease and make coming not only to this store but also to other places in the area more enjoyable.

Disappointed. I went to buy my nephew a birthday gift…30% off. Went to the cash register… it rang up as a completely different price. Actually higher than the original price. The price was rectified, but the cashier acted like she didn’t want to change it. Nope… won’t shop here again. Not only that, but when I asked about a certain size and whether they carry it, I was told if it wasn’t on the floor, they don’t have it. They advised me to come back in a few days to see if they had it. Blah… they could have checked the other stores to see if they had it in stock.

Target has won me over, and kept me away from Walmart.
I love the enclosed parking lot for the days that are raining, and snowing. It’s my first choice to go to on those days. Nothing worse than going outside with a cart full of bags, and get poured on, or watch yourself go from one color to all white in a matter of minutes with snow. So, thank you Target for that :)
I love going up the escalator, and smelling the coffee coming from Starbucks, but I don’t drink their coffee. They also have a target café that sells pizza hut, popcorn, soft drinks, pretzels, cookies and etc. I go for the pretzel, and drink.
They are so well organized. I can always find what I’m looking for. I just wish they had a bigger selection of items for bunny owners like they do for cat, and dog owners. I like how cheap their drinks, and grocery items are.
I rarely wait a long time in line, even when they are busy. I love that! I have noticed it is clean, but not their restrooms. I went in there one time, because my daughter had to go, but she changed her mind. Just like her mama lol. I’ll hold it.
I recently made a huge purchase with a DSLR camera, and I am extremely happy with it.
I go to this Target like 2 or 3 times a week!

Target is where I go when I’m bored and want to look at stuff. Clothes, décor items, books, beauty supplies-it’s all here. I don’t really grocery shop here because Trader Joe’s is down the street, so no comments on that. I like this Target– hate the parking, but I’ve NEVER been to a Target with easy parking. They have what you need and it’s much better stocked (and lit) than the Waterfront location: I hate that Target.
It’s not the best Target that I’ve been too. Andnthey’re actually not all the same. I went to a Target that had really high end beauty products once and another that had a section that they would decorate with the new décor items a la Ikea. This Target isn’t as good as those Targets but it’s the best one in this area.

Target is great. This Target is large and new. It’s also scary at times.
The place is nice and large; you’ll probably find what you need and they usually have enough cashier lanes running (at problem at other targets)
Safe shopping! No seriously, be careful :)

Fast, fun, and friendly service… all inside a chic building rivaling that of a City Target. This is one of the better stores I’ve visited and currently the only one in the city that carries fresh groceries.
It’s a single level store with a lower garage. so you needn’t worry about hunting for parking. The interior is clean, well-​lit, and extremely easy to navigate. The store offers the same general merchandise as any other Target would, with the exception of fresh groceries as many other stores are still in the process of transitioning into that area. Hence, this is where the focus on my review will be. They offer a larger variety of delicious baked goods ranging from my favorite apple fritter to this awesome madeleine-​brownie hybrid cookie. In addition to baked goods, they also carry fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty deli meats and cheeses. So, they pretty much carry all the basics of a general grocery shop with a few twists here and there.
This is definitely my favorite one-​stop shop for most of my shopping needs, and all at an affordable price!

I love that this place has juuuust about all my toiletries under one roof for an affordable price. It’s not as cheap as Walmart, but certainly less expensive than Rite Aid or CVS.
I really can appreciate the ample clothing section, and it’s always a small blessing when the shoes/​bags go on mega clearance. One thing I really love about this target is their black hair care department. It’s easily has the most brand selection for both relaxed and natural hair, and usually there is always a mid-​level brand having a decent sale. It’s very refreshing when a big box store like Target knows their market enough to actually stock stuff the consumers need and not the stuff they think we want. Okay, that last part may be me reading too much into it but dammit I now have easy access to all sorts of goodies for my hair. LAY OFF!
Oh, and I really like the pharmacy staff. Everyone seems to be young but exceptionally helpful, unlike most young staff at others stores who are more into each other than helping the customer. Hooray for excellent pharmacy management!
All in all, I’ll be back.

I’ve never reviewed Target? say what?
The entire store in general does seem big (I’ve gotten lost a total of 3 times haha) Nice electronic department and I LOVE Target’s home décor (bedding, cool furniture– side tables, lamps ect– like something you’d see in Ikea)
I’ve never ventured here for my grocery shopping, but we did take a look yesterday. We found a sale on Red Bull– a case of 12 for $ 18 ($ 1.50/each) Awesome deal, but I had to talk bobby out of it. If he has 12 red bulls at an arms reach, he will drink ALL within a 3 day period. No way!
We always stop in for a Coke Icee before even starting our shopping adventure. Fun times!
Also, I will never ever be ashamed to let someone know that the sweater they just complimented me on is from Target ;) Their clothes are super cute! (don’t even get me started on their bathing suits! xoxoxo)

This location has become my favorite Target! Even though it is in the city, it’s very accessible, and there is plenty of parking underneath. My favorite thing is the conveyor belt for shoppin carts. After you have checked out, you simply push your cart onto the conveyor belt, and you meet it downstairs. This makes picking up an inordinate amount of paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning products a breeze.
I’m not basing my review on the clothing selection or the food selection (because I grocery shop elsewhere), but for the location, accessbility, and cleaning products/​household necessities/toiletries.The prices are always excellent, and I can always find what I need.
There is always a big selection/​variety of larabars and kind bars, oodles of burts bees products, and plenty of method cleaning products. Needless to say, it doesn’t take much to make me happy.
The hours are also great as well. They open early and stay open late. The baristas at the Starbucks inside are really friendly as well.

I love this store! Big, clean, and the clerks are great! I found everything I needed and then some! Open early & open late! Iam so glad they opened a store in East Liberty
The music department has a good selection and great CDs on SALE!
The food selection have most name brands and the produce is very fresh
