Target Stores

Target is always a decent shopping experience. After living around the corner from WalMart and shopping there recently, Target is a much needed breath of fresh air. Not just due to the better selection of higher end items, but also the demographic Target attracts as opposed to the typical WalMart shopper. This Target is funny though, because the signage all looks horribly outdated. It’s like they built this place in the early 90s, with colorful neon squiggle lights all over the walls, but haven’t updated it in 25 years. Not that it matters, but it is noticeable when comparing to other Target locations. Other than that, this location is pretty much identical to every other Target I’ve ever been to. Good job on keeping it consistent guys.

This is one of the best Target’s I have ever been to in terms of finding a deal. It is one that is clearly does not get a lot of traffic compared to the other ones and that is evident by their massive, well stocked clearance racks. Seriously, I found video games that were three months old in the clearance section marked down to nothing. Their clothes are the exact same as other locations, just with more sizes and, you guessed it, more clearance. If you have the need to be on the West Side, this is easily going to have the best selection of almost anything you’re looking for.

I believe I am a Target-​oholic. I frequent this location the most due to it being so close to my house. The store is clean and the service is quick. I love using my coupons, and their Cartwheel app. I love saving money! LOL. They do have an employee that tends to make customers uncomfortable but I believe he may be socially awkward, but he may need to have a talking to because he will follow customers through the store talking to them when they are shopping. Other than that, they seem to always have plenty of cashiers, and a clean store. The people wandering the store cleaning and stocking shelves are friendly and helpful.

This is the best Target for finding what you’re looking for. It doesn’t get a lot of traffic compared to the other Targets, which is why I love coming here. There’s never a line and you’ll always get a great parking spot.
Dressing rooms are a little disappointing. The smell of the rooms reminds you of a public bathroom and a sweaty gym room combined… I bet the carpet has never been cleaned. Also, be sure to keep your shoes on when trying on clothes, if not you just might come out of with athletes feet. Hey, I’m just saying… :-[

I’ve often tried to categorize what it is about Target stores that makes you come back over and over and what makes them unique in the marketplace that you would, and short of early theories that I was just mesmerized by the big target stuck on the front of all the stores, I think I have it worked out…
They just hit the bulls-​eye, straight down the center when it comes to major retail chains! Yeah I know, terrible pun.
You’ve got your Kmart’s, your Wal-Mart’s, your other Crapola-​Marts, and then you have your better places like your Harmon’s, your Costco’s that sell some of the same stuff, just not always under one roof and not always in convenient quantities!
Maybe it’s unfair to compare that way, but I can say for many items Target does often come through for me. In particular Target stores seem to have one of the best media (Blu-​Ray/​DVD etc.) selections around for any store short of buying them online (or paying twice the price at a major book store chain for that hard to find show!) and if one store doesn’t have it, they’ll happily find you one that does! Same goes for clothing and the odd furniture item, I’ve often found some nice reasonably priced stuff at Target and things that seem to last.
On the outside this particular Target seems like a long abandoned set for Universal’s «The Land Before Time» but inside it’s still a target. And while I’ve never seen Steven Spielberg in any target store, it does seem the kind of place he might want to go to while wishing to escape the potential disappointment of collaboration with George Lucas on further animated adventures. And if so, where better than this one!

This store, to me, is like comfort food.
I am typically here once a week to pick up basic supplies such as toilet paper, deodorant, glade plug-​in cartridges, and the like. However, despite coming in to buy the above mentioned mundane items, I have also spent countless hours wandering it’s clean, well-​organized aisles simply looking at «stuff.» For example, there’s that shiny new Schwinn bike in sporting goods I know I will eventually buy. That lovely set of steak knives in the kitchen supply area. The plethora of fedora’s and humorous throwback t-​shirts back in the men’s section. The abundance of cheap blue rays over by the electronics. The occasional cool art print in their home décor. And because I am such a creature of habit, when I walk into Target I will almost always follow the exact same route through the store like a conditioned lab monkey as I meander and daydream about what I can buy to make my life easier/​happier/​more complete.
Basic assessment. Not as nice as other Targets. (I like the Ft. Union one the most) No grocery section — alas this is not a «super» target. Just a plain ol’ Target. It does sell a few basic eats though. You can buy soda, water, cereal, chips, TV dinners, and ice cream here — just no produce or meat. Parking is ample, the employees are courteous and friendly, the store is clean and organized, and, perhaps most importantly, it is NOT Wal-​Mart.
I’d rather suck on a hobo’s sock than step foot in Wal-​mart.

This isn’t the greatest target in the Valley, but you can get your basics there. There’s not a full grocery section, but it’s convenient so I find myself there a lot. And since last week… I have a new favorite thing about it — the trees in the parking lot. They’re kinda spiky and bare and spooky once they lose their leaves, and it set the right mood for me to pick up Halloween clearance for 70% off. It’s right off Redwood, and sometimes I go in just so I don’t have to sit in traffic. Stop by the dollar spot for a deal on something you probably don’t need, and check out the clearance on the aisle end caps. Check-​out here usually happens pretty quick.
One quirky thing — their security sensors will go off pretty easily. The guard told me that if you’re wearing clothes from Old Navy, they’ll probably set off the sensors (even if you aren’t shoplifting) But what Unilocaler would do a sort of thing like that?

As far as Targets go, this is your basic laid out store. If your familiar with their floor plan, there are no tricks to find what you are wanting and a MUCH calmer shopping experience than the other larger box store that I refuse to step into. If (and this is a big if) there are atleast 2 checkouts open, I can be in and out in 10 minutes with a since of accomplishment and a smile on my face.
It is a bit isolated… sort of has that last outpost before heading out of civilization feel, but that allows for closer to the door parking in my book. Well stocked, friendly employees… much better than the competition.

Poor lonely Target. It’s a nice enough store. I have neither the time nor the energy right now to describe it, but lets face it. You’ve been in most other Targets and you’ve been in this one. Lots of stuff. Lots of people in khakis and red shirts. So when I think of this store I think of how lonely it must be. It just feels like it’s kind of isolated up there on the west side of Redwood Road. It’s in a little development, but it feels like a same-​as development with the standard Office Depot, Petco, dollar store, and parking lot fast-​food standalones.
There’s not much else that brings me to the quiet little Target, so I find I’m hardly ever here. But once you’re inside of most Targets, does it really matter what the address on the door says?

Target is my go-​to store for household items like batteries, paper towels, body wash, shaving cream, sheets, kitchen utensils, etc. I enjoy shopping at their stores, like the products they carry, and like the prices. Target stores are immaculately clean, well-​maintained, and well-​stocked. Beyond carrying the big name brands Target also has several in-​store brands that are good quality and usually low-​priced. Store associates are very helpful and friendly. For a big box store Target does it right.
