Target

Let me start by saying this is Target, which is a huge chain. It’s located in a very busy shopping area. Of course there’s not going to be 100 close parking spots. It’s called walking and it’s good for you. Their merchandise might be a bit more expensive than WalMart but it’s 10x nicer than going there. The store is very neat, clean, and organized. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful. They have a little snack bar, which isn’t too bad. They also have a photo center which offers different packages. The only downfall is that it is close to the checkout area, which can be a bit busy and loud. The bathrooms are always clean as well. The store offers a wide variety of a lot! Their clothes are of decent quality. Maybe they don’t target women with large breaths but it’s not their brand so??? They have a good selection for children. I think it use to be much better but it’s hard when Babies R Us is within eyesight. They have a great grocery selection, which they didn’t have before. They seem to be always well stocked for whatever occasion. I do suggest using their cartwheel app, which has saved me close to $ 600. They also offer their own coupons which can be used in conjunction with other manufacturer coupons. Checkout is usually quick. I’ve never had to wait in crazy 20 minute lines, unless it’s close to Christmas, but that’s expected everywhere. I definitely love shopping here and can’t complain too much!

Hey, it’s a Target in my hometown. There’s not much special about this one except they seem to keep it stocked well.
There is a snack bar to the right when you enter and customer service is to your left. Unlike many Targets, there is no Starbucks here. Boo!
The lady at the checkout was friendly which is rare at the Targets near me.

I can’t stand going to this Target. It seems packed unless you go early in the morning or late at night. There aren’t many open parking spaces near the store so I often have to park near the back. Normally, this wouldn’t bother me, but I’ve had back surgery and my back has never been the same.
I don’t know why but the store feels uninviting. The thing that I hate the most is the slow service at the pharmacy. I’m switching my pharmacies from target to weis because there are never such long waits at the Weis pharmacy down towards the other end of the strip mall. Plus I love being able to park closer there, much easier on my back. They also once prepared a prescription to be filled for me and asked me to come back in 45 mins. I came back in 45 mins & my prescription still wasn’t filled and I had to wait an extra 15 mins (no, I’m not exaggerating) for them to fill my prescription. I can understand like an extra 5 mins but you tell me to come back in 45 & you still don’t have it filled? I can’t stand the pharmacy service.
I feel target itself doesn’t carry the greatest merchandise. If I want to purchase clothes there, I can’t fit into most of the tops because my breasts are large and the plus size shirts make me look like in swimming in the material. I don’t think their clothing department is geared towards everyone.
It also seems like at checkout, there are just lines and lines of people. Really, I’d just like to get my stuff and get out.
I’ve been going to the walmart in hamburg as a replacement supermarket since I’m not a fan of target.

It’s a Target! Yay, Whoop-​Whoop, Yipee, Y… mmmmmmm so what.
This Target has the same faults of more or less every store in the chain.
1. Groceries that are «on sale» here are normally more expensive than what you’ll see at most traditional grocery stores let alone the full price stuff which is simply not ridiculous.
2. If you are not a person who falls into the S-​M-​L size range good luck finding anything to wear, as that is the range that 98% of their clothing falls into.
3. When something is out of stock either in the store or online it likely will take an entire presidential election cycle before you ever see that item again.
Now with that said they do have a few good things going for them.
1. I have rarely ever waited longer than three of four minutes in a check out line as they are not afraid to call in associates from all over the store to open registers until any bottlenecks are taken care of.
2. Their selection of pet food, treats and toys is second to none along with a great variety of bed and bath items. Again, the price likely will not be that great but at least there is usually enough stock/​variety that you will find what you want.
3. Returns/​paying your Red Card bill in store could not be any easier.
So to me is this or likely any Target a four star experience? Oh, hell no.
But you certainly could do worse and at the very least the people who work here do make up a lot for the shortcomings of the chain as a whole.

Prices seem to be better now… A lot more sales

A very kind woman working in the pharmacy gave me a free dropper/​syringe thingie when I was desperate to find one to feed an ailing pet. Target doesn’t sell them. It may seem like a small thing, but it really touched me and saved me a lot of time when I did not have much. It gave me a very positive impression of this store and its employees.
There is a very nice eyewear alcove here too, with pleasant non-​pressuring staff. I can never walk by without trying on a few frames. And they have a grocery selection, mostly packaged but a handful of raw fruits and veggies, with the delicious Gardein chicken and such, convenient. Sometimes I just need a quick onion or something for dinner and don’t have to make an extra trip when stopping here to pick up household stuff.
They have a good card selection too, and a diverse array of pet supplies.
I also like that there is no SA bell ringer outside, since some of that money goes to lobbying against people’s civil rights, and the SA won’t hire openly LGBT people.

Great Target branch. Staff was genuinely fast and friendly and the lines moved quickly too.
I basically used this as my local supermarket when I was on a quick trip to Reading. Of course, they had all of the typical crap you’d expect to find in a Target, and a few new things like freeze dried banana chips from Archer Farms… delicious.
Affordable, quality stuff as usual.

What can I say — it’s a Target.
My tip is to always go down the back of the aisles — they keep a LOT of their clearance there. You can get some great deals on things that you would have liked to have tried, but thought it may have been a little too pricy before.
I only wish that this one had a Starbucks in it like the stores in Temple and Exeter do…
