Target

Every time I attend an event at Allstate Arena, I stop by this Target. The last time I went, it was very dirty with paper and garbage near the entrances but I think this might have been because of the people waiting to get into a concert at Allstate.
It was a very convenient place to use the restroom before an event at Allstate and to shop around to kill time. It’s a huge Target and you can find almost anything.
There is a free parking lot.

Amazing customer service with Mitch! Thank you for taking the time to help us with our cartwheel app! Really pleasant helpful and attentive! Thank you again.
Your patience was appreciated!

Waste of time. I saw a lampshade at a different Target store earlier in the day but didn’t get it. I regretted it so I came to this Target store to get it. When I went to the register, the price was higher and the sales associate said they can adjust the price if the manager approves it. I asked her and she quickly said no without even thinking about it. So let me get this straight, they price match from other stores but not their own?

Stopped in to pick up a few items. The store was very clean and the sale staff was friendly!

My review update is limited to the photo studio here. We’ve been customers for years and we probably won’t be coming here again. The little photo studio next to the pharmacy used to be great for getting the kids’ Christmas photos or other occasions professionally and reasonably priced. Now it has become a chaotic mess over there.
Last year (2013) we had a photo appointment to be the first scheduled shoot of the day, so surely there would be no delays. Well, from the moment we walked in, the 2 employees were scrambling. Their computer equipment was not working and they were on the phone with corporate trying to get back online. So that is how the first 25 minutes went. Then the next 2 sets of scheduled photo appointments arrived, still not up and running.
OK, so we got our pictures done finally. Outside the door of the studio, the place was crowded with parents, crying babies and overdressed little girls crying too. There is only one photo room and two employees frantically taking pictures, answering calls and helping customers select photos for their orders.
Delays had us waiting for another 45 minutes for our pics to be ready to review and order. Once we got back after a prolonged shopping trip through the store, they were too busy to help us make the selections, pay and get out the door. The crowd only got worse as the backlogged studio snowballed into even longer delays by then.
I’ll have none of that circus again. I’ve found that hiring and independent photographer helps you get good results at less overall cost and better pictures too, plus they don’t overschedule themselves like this place. I feel sorry for the people working the studio that they have to go through this, plus all the people who come here hoping to have a pleasant photo shoot.

I love the Portrait Studio here. Lori, the photographer, and Meghan, the woman who designs/​helps you pick your photos, were great. Lori is so patient and works so well with kids.
Last weekend we observed some parents be very rude to this staff. They handled it so well. They are so patient and kind and try to get everyone’s kids to actually smile for their photos. Sometimes this takes time and sometimes they run a little late, but it’s all in the name of each family getting the best photos they can. Please be patient and recognize how amazing this team is for dealing with kids all day long!
My only request is: Come on Target Portrait Studios Corporate!!! It’s 2014! If people pay to get electronic copies of their pictures, which by the way is crazy expensive, PLEASE either let the staff make the CD there before we leave OR make them downloadable at high resolution from your website — — - do not make us wait a week to pick up a CD like it’s 1998.

I will probably give this Target 3.5 stars.
It’s located next to the All-​State Arena in Rosemont. I believe the Des Plaines, Norridge, and Harwood Heights neighbors utilize this Target as well for purchasing their daily essentials. Personally, I think Target is a great place to take your kids to keep them busy. They have a great children’s clothing department; their toys are abundant; their groceries are just over-​priced, though.
However, you can find some cute junior and women’s clothes and accessories if you’ve got time to look through every aisle. The organizations are decent, considering how much traffic they have on an everyday basis. The workers are friendly enough, but after all, dealing with customers can really wear people out because I’m in this profession, and I know it! Nevertheless, if you ask a question politely, more likely they will try to assist you.
If you drink k-​cups like myself, they have a great selection of Keurig k-​cups. Of course, they’re not cheap if you pick out the «SB» brand, which is about $ 14 for 16 counts, yet they do have the Target brand for $ 9 with some yummy flavors.
Overall, you can save money at Target if you coupon religiously, utilize the store coupons, and know how to make «money» through using all coupon resources (there are weekly gift card deals for different items on sale). I really don’t think you will walk out the door paying «nothing,» but you know the name of the game, it’s a good place to score some deals.

We stayed in Rosemont while on business and needed water (by the gallon and 16 oz bottles), candy, nuts, and other various things. This Target helped us out a lot since it was nearby our hotel, clean, and pretty much had everything we were looking for (including a sweater for one of my co-​workers who forgot to bring warm clothes). A-​ok in my book.

My least favorite target store. I try to avoid it at all costs. The managers are rude and don’t acknowledge their shelf signing… Which technically is against targets policy to change the price if its price incorrectly on the shelf. Also the cashiers… On one particular trip I had to waste 20 minutes of my work lunch hour because the cashier was questioning the parents of a newborn regarding their similac rebate check. She told them that it was valid only for toddler formula (which for the record is untrue) and made the dad run back and forth with different tins of formula. IT’S A COUPLE BUCKS… Why not let them have it and spare alllll of us the frustration?! After a while I finally got frustrated and started to transfer my things to another register that FINALLY opened up and the cashier grabbed 3 of my items (after I moved everything else) and refused to give them to me and tried to ring me up… I literally had to fight with her over my applesauce– she refused to give it back so i could take it to the other register-​until I finally told her to keep it. She didn’t acknowledge me until that point, didn’t even apologize for the long wait, had a manager over at one point– the manager didn’t acknowledge me or my wait either and in fact, she completely ignored me when I tried to get her attention. I know they saw me. I was standing next to the couple with the formula, with all of my stuff on the belt next to me, just waiting, right across the counter from the cashier… How do you not even acknowledge someone that close to you for that long? Seriously.
For the record, the register I moved to had a wonderful cashier who was very apologetic about the situation.
But.
This is not the first time I had an issue with this cashier, and actually not the first time I had an issue with the store either… They really need to reevaluate their leads. I’m sure they have employees that are more qualified and worthy of being in a managerial position than some of the people currently occupying those positions.
I’ve been to other target stores and have had fabulous experiences. Interesting…

Best part of Target is the clearance, worst part of Target is finding your size on clearance! Lol. I REALLY wanted those kicks for 80% off… Ah well. Same Target different zip code. Sbux staff is pretty cool. That is all.

This has to be the worst target ever! This store is always tore up from the floor up! Rude associates and the associates you do get to help you have a vibe that you are annoying them because you have asked for help. Almost every time I have gone in to this location and others I find associates huddled up in a isle complaining about management and the store in general, very unprofessional ! The only reason I gave them 2 start was because it is close to my house if I need to go there. I would rather go to Kmart up the road!

Not a bad Target. Clean. Lines do not get too bad, but when they do they are quick to open more checkouts.

I get that I went here the day before Christmas, but my review still stands for most times I visit the Rosemont target. Filthy. Missing prices on a lot of items. Disorganized and messy. All reasons I will now avoid this place at all costs.

Went to Target in Rosemont today with family that just came in from Genoa Italy for the holidays. Dear God I shoulda went to Villa Park Target big mistake on my part! I should have read Amanda and Candice’s review before taking my family from Italy there oops.
First of all the pros: they have a Starbucks that’s awesome but I did not get a coffee.
Also I want to say people reviewed the store with a five star I respect all opinions but here’s my story.
Family wanted to go shopping so I thought I’d take them to Target in Rosemont it’s on the way to Chicago. My aunt used the restroom but she came out telling me Molto Sporco. It means very dirty in Italian. So she actually did not use the restroom. So we were quickly tried to get shopping done and upon asking employees where different things were it was like we were bothering them. So as the shopping experience was happening I was becoming very angry. Not all the time my family is here from Italy and this experience was not getting any better.
So we were trying to find the items as quickly as possible went to the shelves stuff was not there asking employees do you have any shampoo that should be here? they were just ignorant. So we had about $ 200 worth of stuff in the cart Christmas presents food etc.
Upon trying to check out the girl at the register was giving me an attitude because tags were not on the clothes and she was complaining because my aunt and I were speaking Italian. So after that situation meaning the girl’s attitude beame worse. We left our purchase just left everything– Target’s loss. Of course I’m going to continue shopping at Target but only at Villa Park. So I wish I could give a half star

Note: I don’t usually review chains, but my recent experience here was just awful.
I’ve frequented this Target since it opened, and have never had a problem. Last week, I came in at 10:45ish to pick up 2 things: shampoo and a makeup brush. I noticed on the door that they close at 11, so I obviously had to hurry; no time to browse. I walked in, no less than 2 minutes later, the announcement came on «the store is closing.» Immediately all the lights shut off.
I went up to the closest employee and asked him if I could just run down the aisle to grab my shampoo since that was pretty much the main purpose of my trip. He said yes and he would let the other employees down that way know I was coming. I reach the shampoo aisle, and this associate pops out of nowhere, and LITERALLY says, «We’re closed. The registers are closed. You need to leave.» I explained to her the situation, and she pretty much rolled her eyes and walked away. Meanwhile, I’m looking for my bottle in the dark. ANOTHER employee walks by 10 seconds later and tells me rudely to leave, at this point I gave up. They made me feel so uncomfortable. On my way out, the original worker asked me if I had found everything. I had to say no because no one would leave me be.
I have worked in retail since I was 16, and you will always have last minute customers before closing. SOOO many times have I stayed after hours to finish up helping a shopper. I find this customer service to be completely unacceptable. Not only did they make me unwelcome, but they were so adamant and persistent that I needed to get out immediately, that they actually gave me anxiety.
I called the store today, and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with Marcus? He basically said, «I’m sorry that shouldn’t happen. I look into it.» Well… great I guess. That didn’t make me feel much better about it, nor did I feel that he really cared. I guess I’ll be shopping at the Schaumburg Target near my work from now on.

This Target, being next to old Rosemont Horizon, or whatever the hell that place is called now, is more stressful than I like my Targets to be.
You end up fighting through cray arena traffic to get in here, then you end up fighting through idling livery and sedans for people who were dropped off that the arena, or waiting for calls to head to O’Hare. Because of this, you’ll end up having to park a considerable amount further back than you probably should have.
Once inside, you’ll notice that this is one of those Targets that set up like a K-​Mart. Which, as any lady will you tell you, is the lowest form of Target layouts.
I originally came here because I was in the area and saw that the business listing didn’t have a photo on Unilocal,which drives me abso. f*cking.lutely nuts, so I decided to make this Target the one I’d look to for travel-​size items and fashionable winter gear for an upcoming trip I’d be taking.
The hunt for travel-​size everything went well, some of the regular items I use daily weren’t where they usually are at the other Targets I frequent, and their fall coat selection must’ve been at the peak as far as stocking is concerned, while they were almost entirely out of gloves. Inopportune, for sure. Also inopportune were the number of items that weren’t labeled with correct prices, sending me in search of a scanner machine, the first two of which were out of order.
The check-​out lanes here are those awful ones where the registers are staggered so you can’t really tell which lines are the longest or if it’s okay to go to a frontwards line when a rear line is already really long.
Hate that. Plus this one has that Walmart-​y fake cheese smell. This Target is just fine, and that’s about it.

I stopped here just for the Starbucks one day during lunch. They have a full menu with some baked goods to choose from. The lady working the counter was very nice, fast and efficent. The café area was spacious.
This location is close to the airport. If you are staying at a hotel close by this is an alternative instead of going to the Starbucks store up the road.

Finally got used to the new layout, store seems to be cleaner now too. Yay there is a Starbucks now, the junky café is gone forever. I could smell the burning popcorn t/​o the store always.
The only thing I don’t like is the people visiting the Allstate Arena who steal the parking spots. I get why they do it because the parking charge is ridiculous, but rules are rules. I never see the police ticketing the obvious parking abusers.

Super clean, well-​stocked Target! Can I get an «Amen»!?
After visiting some recent Target losers, I was all set for this one near my work in Rosemont to be the same. Denied! (And so glad I was.)
Great selection here, and shelves are clean and well-​stocked! They have a Fresh Foods market, and everything’s easy to find on first glance.
They do not have an in-​store Starbucks, but there’s a full service SBUX across the street. I only wish that instead of the generic hot dog/​nachos restaurant inside, that they had a Taco Bell. Of course if they did, they’d probably have to roll me back down Mannheim/​Higgins, as I’d be here way too often if that were the case.
This Target Rocks!

You’d think in this crisis that they would want to fire the workers who don’t bring anything to the table. Apparently this Target believes in the opposite. They almost make Jewel-​Osco employees look like knights in shining armor.
You have to hunt down employees to get an answer about something. Sure, they have those red phones, but I remember a world where each section had someone there, or at least 3 people running around in the vicinity.
Never had I been questioned about a return except for ‘Is there anything wrong with it?” Now, I was refused a return because the shirt I bought and took out of the bag ONCE had some animal hair on it that was there to begin with. So I had to take it home and lint roller it so I could take it back.
When there are people waiting to be helped it’s nice to at least acknowledge them. Say, «Hey, I’m helping another customer, but I’ll be with you as soon as possible.» Nope. They don’t do that here. That would make sense. It’s much better to leave your customer standing there with product in hand for 10 minutes before they get fed up and walk away without a purchase.
Oh, and I hear that if you want customers to come to your aisle to check out that looking at them like they are crazy and telling them to come to your register isn’t the way to go. You might want to try illuminating your sign. Just saying.
