Target

One place worth checking out for deals as there is no longer a Canadian equivalent.
Parking is available in the nice large lot beside Bellis Fair.
The selection is similar to Walmart, but with a smaller grocery selection and more home-​type stuff. They actually have a pretty decent electronics section too.
Deals can be had, but it takes bit of looking around to find a good deal. Sometimes things are cheaper at Costco or Walmart, sometimes not.
Be sure to pet the cute Target dog near the checkout area before leaving. Little guy could use some attention.

What is there to say about Target, except that it is the store equivalent of a best friend. It always has the essentials, and is there for you no matter where you are. You can walk into any store and feel at home.
The Bellingham location is not my favorite, but it is definitely not the most disheveled one I have been in. I think they have a hard time keeping things organized due to the high volume of shoppers that frequent it.
When I visited yesterday it was in better shape than most days, and we had a blast walking up and down every aisle. I always have a hard time keeping my spending in check when we shop this way, but it is fun too find incredible deals on products you need. Not to say there aren’t ample opportunities for impulse buys!
My only frustration was in the check out line. The checker was very slow and kind of out of it. She was friendly enough, but when it came time to make my purchases she pushed the Target debit card with reckless abandon. I quietly listened to her initial pitch and politely declined. I made the mistake of mentioning I didn’t need another credit card. She launched into how it wasn’t a credit card, or a points card, and that it worked like writing a check but I would immediately see savings before the receipt even printed. Every time I said «no thank you» she looked at me like I was crazy. The whole interaction was strange.
I love Target and am sure to be back, most likely within the next week, I just wish that when someone declines something that choice was respected. If I had a Target card that would be putting my self control under way more pressure than I can handle.

When Target left Canada, I was very disappointed because I loved their Up and Up products. So I came here! It is a very good store and it is the best!
Pros:
–clean
–organized
–cheap
–has self checkout
Cons:
NONE!

Target is pretty much the only reason I go to Bellis Fair Mall. Be warned though that it can get pretty crowded during peak hours, especially on the weekend when we have our friends from the North come down for shopping. I have found some great deals on clearance, especially after the back-​to-​school season (which actually ends before WWU starts up in the fall). The staff is really friendly. Prices on produce are way off the mark (pun intended). Hot tip: As best I can tell, the Archer Farms (Target brand) is the best price on pure maple syrup in town.

I’ve always loved Target and was so happy when it finally came to Canada… and sad again when it left shortly after. As there is hardly a chance that Target will make its way back to Canada, this location is the closest one to me.
Target is usually on my go-​to list when I’m doing my States’ run. I never have anything in particular I want to buy, but it’s always fun for me to browse through the aisles and find something fun or for a great deal. Their seasonal items are always fun to go through — including holiday stuff and summer bbq stuff. Love that they have easy access parking through their entrance. Makes it easier for the Bellis Fair routine, which is park at Target, walk around the mall, finish off at Target and haul everything to the car :)

This is by far the busiest store most of the time at the mall. The location has a great selection of items and ad items are frequently in stock. The store has a large amount of staff present who are helpful and really seem to want to help you find products and make check out a breeze. This is light and day difference between other Targets that have no personality– despite the physical store age of this location looking rather old. A great Target location.

Went in for a pair of blue jeans yesterday, place is a mess. No sales personnel, products all in a disarray, got that downward spiral going on, soon catch up to K-​Mart

I always like checking Target out whenever I go to Bellisfair. Target offers basically anything that you might need from groceries, pharmacy, cosmetics, clothes, toys, stationary, household items to electronics etc. Target definitely is a tough competitor of Walmart. I find that Target offers better quality and brands. On sale items usually ranges from 15−75% off. Off seasonal items may be up to 90% off if you don’t mind stocking up for next year. Do read their signs carefully for special promotions such as buy 2 items and get $ 5 Target gift card etc. If you want an additional 5% off, you can sign up and get their Target card. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Make sure you keep your receipt for returns.

My favorite experience at the Bellingham Target is being sung to while paying for my items. One of the employees serenaded me with «Let me Call You Sweetheart» during my transaction and at first it surprised (and embarrassed) me. But he was so sincere, obviously just trying to make his day (and mine) more pleasant. He deserves a raise!

I have always been pleased shopping at the Bellingham Target. The store is kept clean, and their employees are always helpful and friendly. They have tasty fresh pretzels at the kiosk, and I also appreciate the store location being right at the mall.

Are there good deals at this place? Well not sure and it really depends on what you buy. The staff are ok. They won’t approach you unless you approach them. It can be hard to find help sometimes. And if you do, the staff might not be sure the answer to your question unless its generic like where is the clothing section.

I came here ’cause my friend went first and said it was bad. I sometimes believe her as 9 out of 10 times she blows things way out of proportion, however, this time she was right, this place is aweful. Very disorganized, aisles are confusing, lighting is bad, it was very bare. I will be honest in stating that this section of the mall was better when it was Zellers. Prices are way too inflated than what they should be, more expensive than Zellers. I will just use my hard earned CND dollars Stateside… as I have been using for years. It’s close to X-​mas and they don’t even have their holiday stuff out.

I don’t normally shop at big chain stores like Target, but I wanted to write this review because I went shopping on Labor Day, and I have to say the place was crazy, but I managed to find some really cute clothes, and the cashier that rang me up was so friendly. It is extremely rare to find someone who has such great customer service – especially on a day that busy and hectic. High fives all around!

This is just a standard target. I used to like them better before the lost all the consumer info for their customers. Now it just feels like KMart did 15 years ago — on a long slow decline.
The prices are ok, the products are okay. It is just Ok.

I can’t resist a bargain and Target is a must stop for me when I cross the border.
We have Target in Canada now, but the prices in the States are still better. This is especially true for junk food or baby essentials.

I like this store, the clothes are nice. The Bellingham location has 3 times the shoppers of others because of all the traffic from North of the border. I think there is some cultural differences about what is acceptable shopping etiquette. The folks from BC push through crowds of people, block whole walkways with there carts and seem to just throw the clothes on the floor after looking at them. It’s like shopping the day before Christmas on a weekday in April. I’m not sure if that’s how they roll in BC or if that’s just how they play an away game, either way it doesn’t make for a good shopping experience.
Also, there are trash receptacles outside the Target store and throughout the parking lot. No need to throw your Tim Horton’s trash in the parking lot. There is a fine for littering down here in the states.
4 Stars because the clothes are cheap and really cute and they have an awesome website to help you avoid the crowds.
Thank a Canuck for leaving a buck!

I love Target.
Target is like Walmart on steroids. It’s definitely an everything-​you-​need-​in-​one-​place kind of store, just less expensive.
The prices are a lot lower, the selection is a lot better, the clothes are a lot nicer. I don’t know how Canada got stuck with Zellers, but we got the short end of that deal, and am I ever glad we’re making the switch.
However, the bathrooms in this location are horrendous, and there never seem to be enough cashiers at the checkouts to manage the massive lines slowly snaking around the store.

Please note, this is for the PHARMACY only.
The pharmacy here is probably my favorite pharmacy ever. The staff is super nice, knowledgeable, and thorough, and wait times have never been too awful. The head pharmacist is the nicest man — he never talks down to you and has always made me feel comfortable discussing birth control.
The other day they were out of my generic Rx, and since I needed it in a hurry, he called the Walmart down the road to make sure they had it and that it would be waiting for me when I got there.
Yes, this is the Bellingham mall, so you probably want to avoid it on weekends if you can, and you might be forced to listen to a Canadian bitch at the (very patient) pharmacy tech about why they don’t carry Dramamine in ginger lozenge form like in Canada (yes, that really happened). But the staff is stellar.

I love it here. It’s clean, it’s friendly, and you get most of what you need as long as you aren’t looking for higher end, specialty items.
Some products even offer a «buy 2, get five dollars off» your next purchase, which you can use right-​then-​and-​there. This was especially helpful for products that women under menopausal ages are lucky enough to purchase.
Cashier was super nice, and how is it in a store this busy that the lines move that fast?
They didn’t have absolutely «everything» that I wanted here, but there is nothing that comes close to Target in Canada. And once we do get one, like everything else, the prices certainly won’t be as good, either.

We’ve been coming to this Target for like 20 years. Weekend trips to Maple Falls always included a late night trip to Target for anything and everything. An extra bonus is that it stays open past mall hours and so you can shop till you drop in the mall and then spend more time in Target.
The $ 1 section always has random treats (plush animal face masks anyone??) and is a must stop when entering the store. I haven’t eaten at the little café and so I can’t comment on that, but the popcorn always smells lovely and the seats are usually full.
The women’s section is separated into casual, business, and maternity/​plus sizes. They have fabulous bathing suits and at very low prices. Mossimo tanks keep me cool in the summer and long sleeves are perfect for fall/​winter/​spring. I’ve never had to wait for the change room, though sometimes they’re a little overrun with clothing to return to the racks.
Shoes range in quality, but they always have options in the most recent styles. Kid’s shoes are available and as they always seem to have a supply of sparkly ‘Dorothy’ shoes, I’m totally jealous.
The seasonal section is my favorite, with huge displays for each season and/​or holiday. Makeup and toiletries cover anything you need (or forgot on your trip) and the stationary section has everything from greeting cards to Martha Stewart wedding supplies. Be sure to check out the media section for cheap DVDs, books, and Cd’s.
And finally, the food area. I could spend hours walking through, seeing all of the random treats that we’re not lucky enough to have up here. Kashi products are available galore, along with Almond Joys and other delightful candies. Their selection of alcohol always makes me a little sad inside, as the prices are about 90% cheaper than what we pay here in Vancouver. Wine Box wines are my favorite, coming either in small tetra pack ‘juice boxes’ or larger cubes with the equivalent to 4 bottles of wine inside. Be sure to try the Sangria!
While this location might be a little on the older/​smaller side, staff are always extremely helpful and product stock levels are always high.
