Target

This Target is significantly better than the Ann Arbor Target on Waters Road.
It is larger, the aisles are less cramped (especially int he clothing section), they tend to have more items make it to deeper clearance discount levels, in some areas like home they have a better selection, the lighting is nicer, and it is easier to get in and out of the parking lot.
From central campus at U-​M, it is only 3 minutes longer by car to get to this location, instead of the official Ann Arbor location. If you’re going on a Target run I highly recommend spending the extra three minutes.
Speaking to the store itself, Target’s grocery section here is top-​notch. If you always buy store brand when possible, like me, you may be surprised to hear that I cost compared them and on nearly every item Target was cheaper than Kroger or Meijer.
The clothing also always appears to be on trend. The seasonal undergarments are always fun.
And there is a surprising amount of rotating items you wouldn’t necessarily think about purchasing at the target. The other day when it hit 85 degrees and I needed an air conditioner Home Depot, Lowes, and Sears were both out of stock of the cheap 5000 BTU acs. Target still had plenty. Not only that, it was cheaper than the other stores by a significant amount.
Finally, if you do come here regularly I recommend getting a Red Card. You don’t need to get the credit one. You can simply give them your bank information and get a debit card with no hassle (and no credit score worries). By doing this you’ll save 5% on every purchase.
Additionally, target brand food and pharmacy items are almost always discounted via coupon on the «Cartwheel» phone app. Be sure to download the app and scan your items before you check-​out to save the most money.

Really like this location as it is super convenient being right next to Meijer and Fun 4 All. Always neat and the staff here are very friendly too.

Hooray for Target! Despite the fact that Target is a vortex, from which I consistently emerge HOURS later with things I didn’t intend to buy nor do I need, I love this location. Luckily for me, and unluckily for my bank account, it’s conveniently located just up the street from my house.
This Target features the perfect trifecta: it is always clean, well-​stocked and the goods are easily accessible. This makes for a pleasant and often extended shopping experience. The end caps alway feature some must-​have product that conveniently ends up in my cart (drat, foiled again!). Target is making a killing. I go in for ink pens and come out having spent $ 100 on additional office supplies and I know I’m not the only one.
I really like the grocery area. It makes for a great one-​stop shopping experience. They have a good selection of national brands, but I also like many of the products under their private line.
The customer service I’ve received at this location has been a mixed bag. Those at the front end have been great. The cashiers and customer service personnel have been especially helpful and easy to work with when I’ve returned items. Those working the floor, not so much. There have been instances in which it was pretty difficult to find someone to assist me and when I finally did, the employee seemed less than excited to help. In one particular case, I was looking for something and the guy just pointed in the general direction of the aisle. Ummm, sure… okay.
Overall, I really like this store and have been very happy with the offerings and service received.

I pre ordered passport photos online and selected this location. Once I arrived they said the machine was down and I had to go to a different target. They said their machine was down for over a week. I can’t understand why the site would allow us to choose a location that couldn’t complete my order. When I asked the service rep to call the other location before I made the trip, she seemed annoyed. The other locations are very far from my residence. She said she couldn’t confirm with them because the other target location kept hanging up on her. Doesn’t exactly create build confidence that they would be able to help me anywhere. Do NOT rely on their Kodak pre print services online. They do not tell you which stores can help and you can end up wasting your time.

Probably my favorite Target in the area. It’s significantly further from my house than the one in Ann Arbor but I still make the trek out there whenever I want to look for home décor, clothes, etc since they have a significantly better selection than the smaller store on Waters’.
Staff is helpful but not exactly warm. I’ve had a few returns, issues with products, etc and while I’ve never wanted to run out of their pulling my hair out I also never leave with warm fuzzies. I do also really like their «buy it online, pick it up in the store» option, especially when I’m looking for a particular item and don’t want to drive around town looking for it. I also LOVE the Cartwheel app. You can often find me in the aisles scanning every item in my cart to make sure I’m not missing a coupon on something.
Grocery section is sizable and everything I’ve purchased there has been fresh and cheaper than even Kroger.
In general it’s a really nice Target location.

Brandon in customer service needs a attitude check. I went up to customer service because I noticed the bill didn’t come out right, something was charged as 19 when the sticker said 14.99, he spoke to me and my fiancé in a very rude tone and said that it was the only one in stock and that we were wrong that it was out of place by a customer. No. They had six or seven of the same product where we first found it, and very snottiliy asked to be shown where we had found it. In the end it was employee error of putting it in the wrong spot, We got the difference, but I will never step foot in this target Because of the attitudes from Brandon and charlene and even the rest of the employees were grumpy and rude.

I normally love Target and shop at Target stores a lot for household items (cleaning supplies, office storage and school-​type supplies). This Target was definitely one of my least favorites. It never really had any great clearance type offers on supplies or clothing like many of the other Targets. Plus the store was not easy to get to for me.
It’s gotten better though and it is definitely nice to have a grocery area. It feels a lot more like most of the other Targets I go to. Other than that it was still a toss up between three and four stars as i think customer service is just k here (but then again there are only a few Target stores I’ve been to that have good customer service).
It is a place you’ll go to a lot if you go to school in the area.

Love Target especially with the new WiFi and the Cartwheel app. The recent store upgrade was nice for the addition of produce and meat plus a grocery expansion. However, I much preferred the old layout with a separate returns counter instead of a combined returns/​express lane.

For some reason it had been months since my last Carpenter Road Target visit. When I stepped inside, I saw the NEW GROCERY SECTION. Awesome! Where’s my camera? I had to wait a while to return for photos.
I think this new grocery section would really appeal to someone who wanted to fix a quick dinner after a day of shopping. Why not make it easy on yourself after you haul home those giant packages of toilet paper?
Is it just me, or is the staff here a little bit more attentive than at the Waters Road location? I was just making my way toward the heart of the store when a nice man asked if I knew where everything was. I ran my idea by him. He gave me a few suggestions where to look. I’m so glad he asked!
Then later, when I was trying to juggle my selections, another man handed me one of those small shopping baskets. Thanks! I needed that. He knew where they were stashed. I really appreciated that.

Great store! It’s clean, always picked up and organized. Great prices. I’ve read that Target puts certain items on clearance related to supply and demand of the store. This location always has the better clearance deals than the Ann Arbor target off of Ann Arbor-​Saline road.

Nothing fantastic, but I am glad they have the fresh grocery section. I will be back just for their interesting selection of packaged and frozen foods.

The new grocery section of this store is awesome. Makes it a great one-​stop store.

My absolute favorite store. This particular branch is very nicely laid out!

They’re remodeling so it’s a little hard to find stuff right now!

This Target is built along the design of the Taylor store. I stopped by after an interview because I needed to get some staples. Since it was the same layout, I had no problem moving around.
I was curious to see what was left of Christmas clearance and was delighted to see that the back of the store all was well-​organized and easy to shop. I got two great wreaths for 70% off and didn’t have to pick thru broken ornaments and garbage!

Didn’t see any sign of produce or a refrigerated section last night when I went… but this is still an okay Target. I ended up walking around the entire store looking for a box fan but couldn’t find one… although there was an attractive Maize ‘n Blue circular fan for $ 15.99. If I weren’t such a cheapskate, I would have gotten it. :P
Possible they were just out of stock, since it has been a hot summer. But I still had to go next door to Meijer to get a box fan (and a few limes).

I just received an inside tip that this Target Location is getting a big update called P-​Fresh! This means this location will soon be carrying produce, more refrigerated & freezer goods plus… a STARBUCKS!
Very exciting, you will no longer have to run next do just to pick up some apples or bananas when doing your small grocery shopping.

Target is a great place to walk in and shop.
However — DO NOT register there for your Baby Shower. Both myself and a good pal have had major issues with their registry. Luckily for me, I was also registered at Babies r Us. My pal — she was only registered at Target and no one could access her account online, nor in the store. It was very upsetting, she called and called and called for weeks in advance with NO help from Target. Her shower was wonderful, but come on Target!
Nice place to shop, awful place to register at for your baby shower.

Just your everyday Target outside Ann Arbor.
There’s nothing really exceptional about this Target except that I enjoy saying the name of the city it’s located in!

This is like, 90’s target, like they haven’t changed the signage in 25 years. It was pretty trippy when I first went in.
I LOVE Target. LOVE LOVE LOVE. But I tend to avoid going to this one if I have to. It’s a Target, but it seems like they just don’t try as hard at this one vs. the one on Waters Rd. in Ann Arbor. The employees here tend to be a little surlier, and the aisles tend to be a little messier and a little more understocked. But it’s still a Target, and it works in a pinch.
