Target earns largely positive reviews as a stylish, one‑stop shop that delivers an enjoyable in‑store experience, strong private labels, and convenient Drive Up/pickup, but reviews also flag inconsistent stock, rising prices, and mixed product durability. Reviewers praise clean, well‑organized stores, fun seasonal decor, beauty selection, and useful Target Circle promos, while citing weaker online experience, long self‑checkout lines, and concerns around clothing quality, DEI reversals, and occasional overpriced groceries.

  • Nice place to shop, good alternative to other stores that may not have been updated and kept up over the years as well as Target. Decent selection, consistent product availability, Most areas I've shopped at would benefit from more food and grocery options.

  • Tarjay. The quintessential shopping experience. We stan the red army!

  • Their wild fable brand is at a reasonable price for the quality and keeps up with the trends nowadays.

  • Honing in on Target's past Designer Collaborations, I have loved having the chance to purchase and style pieces from designers I never would have been able to buy from. My favorites include Kika Vargas, Rhode, Christopher John Rogers, and the recent Rowing Blazers collab. The pieces do sell out pretty quickly in most sizes, so I do wish it didn't feel like the Hunger Games when shopping a new drop.

  • I love Targets app! I also love that you can price match even to sale that’s going on online! My biggest complain is that if I forget to activate one of the challenges it won’t give me credit for a previous purchase that qualified. Other than that I always shop at target! It’s definitely my favorite store.

  • There are no locations left in the area. It is at least an hour drive to the closest store. Ordering online is a hassle and there are too high of shipping charges.

  • While not always the best deal in town our target seems to be well stocked and have very nice quality of products. I love the drive up ability which has only added to the things I've bought there.

  • Again, a brand that's really good at marketing. I remember going to Target when I was younger and it was just like any other department store. The more that they've brought in new and unique products to their store, I am definitely a huge fan.

  • I like shopping at Target because they offer a wide selection of products. I like the store layout and the well-lit aisles. I especially like Super Target as I can find most things. The regular Target could use some improvement. The prices are reasonable. I shop for grocery, household items and beauty.

  • Better department store than most. They often have good deals and promotions for store credit. They apparently have a patent on their baskets and the sticky handle for items is genius! However, their prices have increased in the last couple of years and I recently found out that the online promotions were charging our credit card instead of adding credit to the target account. I.e. - a $10 promo GC would charge us $10 as if we had purchased it in addition to our order. I do not know how many others have been affected, but it may be worth checking your credit statements for $5 or $10 charges by Target. Otherwise, the store continues to be one of the better options out there.

  • What can I say about Target that everyone doesn't already knows? You'd have to live under a rock in the desert not to have visited a Target store at least once. They even have a Starbucks snack bar instead of the old sodas, stale hot pretzels, hot dogs, and popcorn. The thing I like best is the trade in of my old sodastream canisters for half priced new ones. It's the small things in life that make me happy.

  • Target is always a fun place to shop. I notice that some things are more expensive here than Walmart for example. This is specifically in regards to their beauty products. I always look at the clearance sections of all departments and sometimes can find some gems. I love that you can find a variety of everything you may need.

  • I use Target the way some people use Amazon. Shipping is usually quick, but because there are so many Target locations near me, it's easy to just order for pick up in store or drive up and it's ready within 2 hours usually. They have EVERYTHING and it's genuinely so easy to make returns.
