Target

Needed a couple things and popped in for a quick trip. Bike helmets aisle was pretty sparse but managed to grab a decent one. Easy self-​checkout. Large parking lot. And we were on our way.

I understand the need to motivate seasonal employees. Holding a meeting about increasing profits and helping to drive additional sales might be better done in the employee break room instead of on the sales floor at 7pm on a Saturday. «See how we put the crock pots right next to the wine display??? This is exactly what helps drive sales, people!» Sure it does. But don’t smear it in my face.

This review is for the grocery department only. We were planning to make baby back ribs and Target always had my favorite, Hormel. Sadly, they have switched to another brand. I thought, we’ll give them a try. When I opened the first package, I nearly vomited. The meat was spoiled and rancid. I have never opened a package of meat from a store and had it be bad in all of my cooking years. Obviously, there were refrigeration issues. My husband called to speak with customer service and she offered to exchange the ribs! Really? The whole lot should be thrown out. She did agree to refund the money and we went to Safeway. My husband called back to specifically speak to the on duty manager. She hadn’t been told about the return. He recommended testing their refrigeration cases and throwing away the meat. This is usually a nice store, but avoid the grocery department!

I’m still trying to figure out how people give chain retailers like this anything less than 3 stars hahaa
It’s a target, what’s the issue? Everyone wears red, they all have the same sales, & this one happens to have a Starbucks.
Shop here, it’s a Target

I have been a long time Target happy customer in other states but no longer here in Tucson at the Broadway store. Although the parking lot is huge about 1 sq mile, Target spends a lot on advertising to bring in the huge amount of customers this Tuesday 05÷05÷15, the Manager (very dumb and I told him) had only one cash register open to serve a waiting line of more than 50 irate customers. I truly hope the Store Owner reads this. Although I had spent 20 minutes of careful shopping I was unwilling to wait in checkout line for another 30 minutes at least. There are better ways to spend my money — it will take them the 30 minutes to-​restock the items so they lose in more ways than losing my business!

I searched for an item that I could pick up in store and it was not near my home, had to drive over 20 mile each way. I placed my in store pickup order. I arrived about 5 hours later to be told they did not have what I ordered. It was available at a store farther away! I was also told this happens all the time. Warning, if you are on your way to your Grandson’s birthday dinner thinking you would pick up his present along the way, don’t use Target… I would prefer they take down this feature if it does not provide accurate information.

A nice Super Target. It is impossible to come in here and not find things you want. Target carries some nice items for around the house, which is what we are usually after here.

This Target always has a great selection of men’s clothing the hubby likes, unlike many of the other locations. A fantastic selection of housewares and, when Halloween rolls around, the décor, while a little pricey, never disappoints. Can we talk about the time I actually bought a life-​size skeleton here? Nice clean store, attentive employees, and it’s near in proximity to other useful places like Walmart, Radioshack, and Starbucks. Target — — almost making up for the missing mall in El Con!

This isn’t my favorite Target in town. It’s somewhat clean but there never seem to be enough registers available for the volume of customers.

This has been my go to Target location for over 2 years now, and I usually always love it. I am a Target girl at heart and most things that I need to get I buy from there. Most recently some of the larger purchases that I have made had to do with moving to a new house. I bought a new comforter, as well as a bunch of household items. All are good quality for the price, and most of the items I found on clearance.
I did go there last Friday during my lunch break. My flip flops were giving my foot a blister and I needed a solution. I went in and they had their summer sandals on sale. I ended up getting two pairs at $ 4.50 each, originally at about $ 20.00. The nice surprise was that when I went to the register they were actually 20% off of the clearance price too, so I ended up getting both for about $ 6.00 or so. Jackpot!
A word to the wise, I just missed the U of A rush by about a day. Avoid this Target for the next couple of weeks unless you care to be trampled by college students yelling at their parents and stressed out and unappreciated U of A moms and dads.

Not a huge fan of this Target in particular.
I like Target a lot, but this one just seems chaotic, unorganized and it’s always hard to find help here. The front entrance is always crowded with people and it can be hard to maneuver through if it’s busy. It seems like most of what I need is always way in the back, making me walk through everything to get what I need.
The biggest annoyance is the lack of red shirt sightings. Just last night I needed a specific light bulb. I wandered around the light bulb section for about four or five minutes and never saw anyone. I had to run to electronics, have him page someone, go back, and then wait another three minutes. Almost ten minutes to get a light bulb. I wish I could say this is my only story like this, but there are more. I’ll spare you!
The one star they get above the obligatory one star review is speed of checkout. They do a great job of keeping the cashier area well staffed and I never have to wait more than one or two people and often I can slide right in.
If this is your closest Target, then deal with it like me. But if you have options, I suggest using them!

This is a great Target– it was remodeled a couple of years ago and a grocery section was added in. Why 4 stars and not 5? Some sections of the store always seems ransacked and the lines can be out of control sometimes, even though there are tons of registers.
On more than one occasion, I haven’t been able to find something at my «home» Target, but have found it at this Target. A surprise, considering that most of the items are clothing and I just assume (wrongly) that the U of A crowd has already hit up the racks. Always a pleasant surprise.
There’s definitely a higher population of U of A students here, but it’s not bad, but I’d like to echo Melissa J and say: steer clear of this Target the week before and after classes start. You’ll thank us later.

Great store/​location! Good products and prices, great staff but terrible management (this location has never had decent management). Target’s online store order processing/​shipping is slightly slow.
If you sign up for one of Target’s registries make sure you inform people to notify the cashiers at the time of purchase if they’re purchasing a gift off/​for your registry or they will not record the item on the registry… otherwise they won’t return or exchange the item if the person who purchased the gift does not provide a gift receipt.

I go to Target way way way too often. But I cannot resist it’s call out to me.
This one is pretty fantastic. It has a layout that makes sense, it’s always clean, and you can usually check out pretty painlessly. Here, unlike a few other Targets, they note pretty quickly when there aren’t enough cashiers and call more employees us to open more cash registers.
My only complaint with this Target is the parking. It just doesn’t work. It doesn’t matter if the store isn’t busy, you’re never going to park in a spot that feels close to the front doors. And then it always feels like you’re dodging other cars walking into the door.
But aside from the car situation it’s great.
Also here is my tip for all you Unilocalers out there. Avoid this Target like the plague during the weeks leading up to the start of the UofA school year. Resist the urge to enter, just find another Target. Doing those few weeks this place is a mad house of students and their parents navigating the store looking for cleaning products that will collect dust for 9 months. Great business for Target, not great for your speedy shopping trip.

I love Target so much, I am considering naming my next pet Bullseye, in their honor, or maybe Tarje. Seriously, it’s love.
The prices are slightly higher than the evil blue big box store, but it is well worth those extra pennies to shop at Target. No matter what I need, a quick birthday gift, a snack, an outfit, and now groceries, Target is always happy to oblige.
Their debit card that is linked to your checking account saves you an automatic 5%, which adds up when you are a Target stalker like me.
The layout of their stores makes it so easy to shop and spend more!
The overall quality of the items like clothing, home décor and up and up products makes me giggle with excitement, you can look stylish, have a chic home and save a ton of money while doing it.
Count me in! Keep it up Target!

I was glad when this Target opened giving new life to my beloved El Con mall. I have a love hate relationship with the grocery department. Yes, I don’t have to make that extra stop but it makes the target bill higher.
This day I was looking for bike tools and grease. They really don’t have much in the way of tools and that makes since sine because they have a home improvement store next door. But, because they sale bikes I was thinking this would be a good place for bike grease. Nope!
In lieu of having employees to help how about a few of those you-​are-​here maps? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s short and can’t see the signs above the tall shelves.

It’s a Target. Likely that’s enough said – if you’ve been to one you’ve been to all. This one does have a nice new grocery section as well which is nice. Central location on Broadway is also nice.
Staff seem friendlier and the store is generally less chaotic than some of the other locations around town, particularly the one off Irvington (almost always a zoo!).

Dearest El Con Target… how I love you so! Your ninja like organization, your staff, your products that save me money! I love the way your everything $ 1 bins draw me in and make buy silly useless things just because they are $ 1. I enjoy your cute home products and electronics. You have something for everyone! Don’t change a thing El Con Target.
Truly yours,
Felicia

Love this Target! Great place to go just right before they close. No crowds, I hate crowds. We ended up buying this area rug that looks great in our living room.
They even opened a lane just for us as we walked up to pay for the rug. I felt like I was in a dream where you zip right through the checkout. Or they could have just wanted us to get out of there… LOL!

I have to do it: I’m opening a can of big box chain store and spraying it all over this review.
Target was the only place that had what I needed today, 2 inch ribbon. Why is all ribbon 1 ½ inches and smaller? More importantly why didn’t any of the local joints have anything? I tried every place I knew and wound up here because apparently Target is the only place in Tucson that carries large ribbon. For that, they get an instant four stars. It was difficult tracking someone down to point me in the right direction, but I’m always grateful for super helpful staff (when they are around). I was also pleased that when I got to the front lanes, a supervisor saw that lines were getting backed up and opened 3 more. I think they have a good sense of what’s going on over there. And now we return to original («locals only» review) programming.
