Target

Extreme dissatisfaction. We were RUSHED out of the store at 8:50pm when closing time was 9 pm. The lights turned off as we were grabbing tooth brushes which were our last purchases of the evening and 3 employees «kindly» told us it was past closing time. We checked out at 9:06, and we had to ask the cashier 3 times to speak to a manager. The «manager» hardly let me finish the sentence before he interrupted me and said «sorry about that.» I was still trying to finish my sentence and still he kept interrupting me saying sorry about that. I’ve worked in customer service for 7 years and even as a customer I receive better service, and better treatment at our local Wal-​Mart. I will go to the Naperville location instead of Oswego for My shopping needs at Target.

Love this place! I’m there at least 4x per week for my target fit. Great store and wonderful baby section.

This Target location has that squeaky clean, brand new feeling, but it’s actually been around for several years now.
Aside from being clean, it is always very quiet and empty, so I always lose track of time and panic that I’m the last jerk here before closing time.
The women’s clothing department leaves a lot to be desired. The racks are sparsely stocked, spaced really far apart, and it looks like they are having a liquidation sale. The clearance racks don’t have much to offer, and there are significantly less of these than at other locations. There was only one rack of plus-​size women’s clothing that I almost missed because it is next to the maternity section.
It isn’t a Super Target location, but there are several freezer and fridge cases as well as packaged goods on the shelves.
Good enough if you’re on a mission to get something, but otherwise it’s a snoozefest in here.

I would take Target over WalMart any day and this Target helped cement that in place. It’s large, spacious and most of all, it’s clean! It seemed to be one of those super Target’s, since not only did it have grocery items, but it had a deli and a bakery inside. (I have never been inside a Target with a deli before, this seemed extra special.) There was even a Starbuck’s. We came here specifically to see the new Archer Farms items (the non-​GMO and no high-​fructose corn syrup items) and had some trouble hunting them down. My father was with me and he was on the hunt, so I wandered around as he tried to locate these items. Finally, he found out they are slowly introducing them and he purchased some coconut granola bars. They were delicious! I’m normally not a big Archer Farms fan, but these granola bars were yummy and a good pick me up or quick breakfast. I’ll definitely be back and keep my eyes peeled for some more of the new items.

Clean, well stocked. Employees helpful. Only had one issue over Christmas when I ran into a brain dead electronics clerk who couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag.

This non-​super target is pretty well stocked when it comes to groceries!
I know that most people don’t go to Target to grocery shop, but I find myself going there more for groceries than for anything else. As any Target shopper knows, sometimes their toiletries and other consumables can be overpriced.
The spices and other dry goods usually go on sale here for cheaper than they would at a grocery store, so don’t forget to shop the food aisles. This location also has a pretty good selection on wine from all over the world.
In need of some spices or wine, check out Target!

This is probably the best Target I have ever been to. Clean, well organized, well stocked, great clearance, huge women and children clothing sections, good food section, and better yet, I went several times during my stay and there were never any lines.
My only complaint, which isn’t Target’s fault, was the family with the world’s most obnoxious brat that soured my final purchases. If your 5 year old can scream so loud that the employees start criss crossing masking tape on the front glass doors over a cheap concession stand pretzel and a slurpee, you’re not doing something right.

Ok, not a big fan of big box retailers at all but if I have to grade them, I’d put Target at the top of the list. Their stores are usually clean and well organized and while I’ve not personally shopped there for groceries, that addition should help them compete with their big box competitors.
As this review is specifically on the store in Oswego, let me get to it.
Pros:
Clean, bright, well organized, good prices and the people I encountered, one woman, who was the dressing room attendant and the woman at the checkout, the personnel were friendly.
Cons:
Their selection of Mens clothing sucks, to put it mildly. Additionally, there is only one small mirror, at the far end where the hats are stocked, that would allow you to see how you looked in a Fedora hat. If you want a mirror, you have to go to the fitting room area.
As I wandered the wearing apparel departments, I noticed a very sparse inventory in general. This is the beginning of spring and departments should be jammed with new items for the season. Not here.
In one area in the women’s department, there was a space at least 10 feet wide from the main aisle to the backwall. What’s up with that? It did not appear any work was being done. It looked «business as usual».
This also has nothing to do with the Oswego Target, and I won’t single out this store for this, but I downgrade the chain as a whole for their anti gay and lesbian stances. In an age of inclusiveness, Target seems to be thumbing their corporate nose at people for their sexual orientation. GLBT’s spend money too and in this economy, Target ought to be catering to everyone.
I’ll give this store 3 stars because of overall store appearance. At least I don’t feel like I need to go home and take a shower like I do whenever I exit a Walmart.
