TargetExpress

This Starbucks is a HOT MESS-​be sure to order with the ladies that work here because the baristo is definitely special needs. They’re always understaffed, have a huge line, and their condiment bar is almost always barren. It’s definitely a spectacle, so go there for the show.
Barista «Brown Sugar» is the only saving grace to this Starbucks, she at least tries to keep things lighthearted and actually makes your drink the way you order it.

Conveniently located in the financial district. This places comes in handy for things I may need and don’t have. A very popular location, there is not a time I walk in and not see how busy it is and even though there’s a wait in line for check out, still it moves quickly. Employees are nice and helpful.

Targets just keep getting smaller and smaller in the city :(
No, SF will never see a full size or ‘Super Target,’ but that’s probably a good thing because I usually spend half my paycheck every time I shop there anyway.
TargetExpress is a pint size version located in the FIDI just 2 blocks away from Montgomery Bart station. This location features a large food section, featuring ready-​to-​go snacks, fruits, drinks, and other refrigerated & chilled items. Perfect for grabbing something to fuel your day in a hurry.
Other than that, they still have a large sized tech area with representatives always waiting to sell you phones and accessories.
The makeup section here is about the same as City Target. I love this because I find that the City Target makeup section gets over picked, but I can always find my shade of foundation or my favorite eyeliner here.
There is even a pharmacy for those who need it.
All other sections in this store has been downsized.
Plenty of cashiers waiting at the front with an efficient method of one line feeding into multiple registers.
An annoying thing about this store is that the entrance is at the back of the building on Bush street. It seems like it would have been more convenient if it was located on the side where the Exit entrance is now located.

It is nice to see a Target Express here in San Francisco. I came in looking for some snacks to munch on. After browsing through the shelves, I made my way to the aisle where the snacks and beverages are placed. Even shelves for the snacks and beverages are neatly organized. I was able to find the items I need. Overall, very good experience here. This store has been here for a year now, it looks very clean and inventory are placed neatly on the shelves. Associates on duty were very friendly. Also, there’s someone at the registers ready to help. Props to this part as well!
Reasons for rating:
— clean store facility
— inventory neatly arranged
— friendly associates
— on-​site Starbucks Coffee kiosk
The entrance/​exit to Montgomery BART/​MUNI Metro Station is very close by. If you need a snack to munch on or beverage to sip on, Target Express got you covered.

Very convenient location right in downtown financial district stocked with most items that you would typically buy at a Target. For me, there were just two occasions I couldn’t find what I needed: protein powder for protein shakes and rubber gloves for dishwashing. I think the prices on most items are usually the same as you would find at the normal Targets.
Also, this location should really be open until 9pm on the weekdays! A lot of times I see people trying to go in after 8pm but the doors are already locked. It would be much more convenient if they stayed open later!

As my 2^nd San Francisco solo trip continues, I decided to come to this Target store located at the Financial District neighborhood on 2÷3÷2016. This small sized Target store named «TargetExpress» has half of their items available from food, beauty, and household items except entertainment, gears, and clothes. The atmosphere and the concept remain the same as most Target stores has across the United States, but in more urban feel of the city right in San Francisco or New York City too.
The employees at the register and and stocking are doing a great job here for making the customers like me a fine service! No cons at all; very fast and efficient!
Every aisle at this store is very clean, and well kept, so I can find any items on what I want to buy.
Parking at this TargetExpress store can be challenging to park. You can park at the nearest surface street parking nor the parking garage. Otherwise, you can ride a bike, walk, or use public transportation easier without the hassles.
In the end, this Financial District’s TargetExpress store is the finest mini Target store that I enjoyed shopping there for the first time. A worthy visit! My rating: 4 solid stars.

Pros — There’s almost never a line.
Cons– as it’s an express target inventory is limited. Pharmacy staff was a bit rude.
Overall– It’s convenient, I’ll shop here again.

This is a smmmalllllll Target and reminds me of a fancy ⁷⁄₁₁. Great for picking up a drink, chips, or an okay prepared item. Very efficient and easy to get in and out.

This Target is an abbreviated version than the other Target stores nationwide. What you find at this Target Express are the same items that you will get at Walgreen’s, CVS pharmacies, Rite-​Aid and others, but at competitive prices. Therefore you will not find clothing, Avenger’s action-​figures (toys), bathroom and kitchen needs or even a John Deere lawnmower in this Financial District store.
Coming here on the weekdays is always crowded. But coming here on Saturdays (closed on Sundays) is the best time, where the store is fully-​stocked, least crowded and the associates are less pressured and more relaxed. Sale items that you will find in the fliers also apply to here as well.
The grocery section is bigger than most neighboring businesses. Beer, wines and spirits are affordable too.
There is also an in-​house Starbucks for another café for your extra perk.
For many years, finding a space in San Francisco for Target stores has been a challenge. But the corporation has the ways to think of plans to bring a Target to cities with limited spaces like San Francisco!

It’s not a full-​scale Tarjet, but it’s not half bad.
Offerings:
You got your decent amount of food, make-​up, random household goods, and other Targety things. If you want something absolutely specific or some of the random fun Target finds, this is NOT your one stop shop. If you are looking for a common items (Fage yogurt, pharmacy items, chips, an apple), you can find them here.
Not really for browsing — more stop in, shop for what you need, get out.

I am pretty impressed by this Target. Granted. I’ve never been to a TargetExpress before but honestly, this place has all you really need! It’s a smaller target but it definitely has all of the essentials. from food, snacks, drinks, makeup, household items, etc. One thing to note — they DO sell alcohol here. There’s a wide array of hard liquor, wine, and beer.
I’m pretty happy they made this here in the fidi area because I LOVE target and will defs be stopping by every so often.

Target express attempts to provide basic human needs in an urban area. While providing food, medicine, and other needs they neglect the simple fact that people need to use bathrooms from time to time. While misuse is an issue, target as abundant resources to make it work but chose not to.
I for one, will never return. My money will go to businesses that understand costumer care.

I like this TargetExpress. It packs a surprisingly broad array of products in a smaller, manageable, and easy to navigate space. I mean, sometimes you just want to quickly run into a store on the way home and grab a few things which was me when they first open and I needed random things like eggs and mouthwash. Both they had but I noticed something significantly missing back then — NO BOOZE! If I’m being honest, that’s probably a pretty common and recurring thing I need to grab on the way home so praise and rejoice, we’ve been heard.
This TargetExpress now sells booze… and a pretty nice selection too. Anything from Ketel One vodka to bottles of chilled bubbly to some 21^st Amendment brewskis, the area by Starbucks to the coolers should have something you’re looking for in a pinch. Plus you can pick up some snacks adjacent to the booze aisle for the perfect decompress-​from-​work night in.
In addition, I’ve met nothing but the friendliest staff here who are lovely and the checkout line always moves fast. I’m glad this TargetExpress is on my route home.

I was so excited when this was opening. But after visiting, I was underwhelmed by my experiences.
I found the layout a bit strange and not very intuitive. Luckily the space is small enough so that after a few circles in the store, I eventually figured things out.
What frustrated me was that there’s a central gift card area right by the Mobile/​electronics area. However, there were no regular Target gift cards hanging (only Target Visa), after much searching, turns out they were kept in only ONE specific area up front by checkout. I think they should spread those gift cards so buyers don’t have to search the entire store and ask for assistance for something as simple as gift cards.
I think I’m just really down with the TargetExpress concept. Sounds impressive but leaves much to be desired.

Three stars is really the highest I can rate a Target given their animal welfare problems with suppliers and other corporate shortcomings (see the lead toy settlement from around 2009).
But this Target is clean and convenient, and it does offer a good amount of healthy options which is nice. I imagine a similar Target in somewhere like Louisiana or Texas wouldn’t have as healthy fare as the SF one, but I hope I’m wrong.
If Target HQ does a better job with more ethical suppliers, as well as their own labor relations and environmental record, I will raise this rating!

I can totally see why this place is rated so high. All 5 registers are fully manned even when there’s nobody in line! I was able to walk right up and make my return (from another, full sized Target) without any hassle.
The space is much bigger than I expected, probably 50% BIGGER than the other convenience stores in the area.
The last interesting note is that the location has an abbreviated electronics section that sells tablets, phones, printers and speakers.
This location is perfect to order what you need online or through the Target app and pick it up on the walk to BART/​Muni.

11:27pm/58°F partly sunny
Purpose: Got pretty excited about the first TargetExpress opening its doors in the Fi-​Di this past Monday. DM for Target mention half a year ago, I just wait till deal went through.
Set-​up: Grocery, beauty, health, household, Starbucks café, electronics, men/​women, gift cards, home, accessories, frozen/​refrigerated food, premade sandwich, salad, fruits, snacks.
Staff: Seems over staff on first day. I walk in one direction before reaching other side of store. About 4 – 5 employees ask if I needed help or looking for something? I mean its good to be acknowledge like that but, sometimes its annoying. With that many workers wearing mandate company red polo shirt. My eyes was seeing red when I left the place. Food trucks out front looks red and people walking around red.
Cleanliness: Grade A+, immaculate. No complaints. Clean as a whistle. Up to code with industry standards.
Bagging it: Bag of Jelly Belly original jelly beans 30 flavors $ 2.99, Barbasol shaving cream travel size $.99, Gold Bond anti-​itch cream $ 5.29, Target redness relief eye drops $ 2.79.
Main Features: Their in house Starbucks. Five register all operating at once during peak hours.
Punch Lines: Fi-​Di, Friendly, upbeat, clean, pretentious, knowledgeable, no full size shopping carts, high energy, well excuted, red tag (clearances), items about 6−8% more than others around, basic items/​accessories, always buzzing, line moves fast, personable staff, nothing out of the ordinary, accessible by transportation.
Tradeoffs: Great for those who are running late to/​from work. Instead of going home driving over to Serramonte. You can grab it while on your way home provided that they have what you’re looking for.
Final Thoughts: Place is ok for what it has to offer. To me Target is Target, no difference from store to store. Only difference is location, staff, lay outs. I’ll probably check other places out before making any purchases. I usually shop for non edible items mostly household or vacation summer clothings. It’s too commercial for me to buy things that are frozen or package in weeks advance. Now if I had to get something for emergency or press for time I’ll probably end up going. Time is money right?

Target is my favorite store (yes, seriously) and I’m so excited that it’s opened up in fidi! I stopped by here to grab some snacks for my office and I was shocked at how nice and clean this location is!
Things I loved:
+Tons of fresh groceries, which is amazing, at extremely good prices. I expected there to be high price tags on a lot of items, but surprisingly it does a really good job with most of its items /​had a lot of sale items too.
+More than half the store seems like food but then you turn the corner and there’s tons of beauty/​makeup supplies
+Amazingly nice /​helpful employees
+Starbucks attached inside
Things I did not see but wish I did: Clothing section? Did I miss it? Possibly.
Can’t wait to go back instead of trekking to Mission!

They opened a mini Target at the former Wells Fargo Bank! The workers are very friendly here and the store is spanking new! This is not a full service target meaning you can’t buy toys and other stuff here. They stock the kind of stuff you find at Walgreen’s or CVS. There’s also a Starbuck’s inside which I think is totally unnecessary since we’re inundated with bucks in the hood.
So if you’re in a pinch and want to buy what’s on sale, you don’t have to wait until after work to do it. You can come here!

Open today ahead of schedule.
Nice clean store. Brand new. Just the basic target essentials, and the basics include grocery, drug store type items, some limited housewares and electronics. Good to have so close to work.
This will be a tempting stop every morning for quick errands on the way to work.
