Target

Apparently all the p.c. children from Philly flagged down my last review of this place… truth hurts them.

I typically go to the Wal-​mart off Aramingo, but every once in a while, I need a breath of fresh air and head to Target. Wal-​mart on Aramingo has everything I need, but just has a very disheveled low-​mid class feel that Target strays away from. Though Target prices are typically a bit higher, this Target is well organized and clean.

So disappointed with pharmacy recently. Never had a problem until last month. Pharmacy will not remove a message from my file from October. It was a minor insurance issue that was resolved 3 months ago. The people working there today were not helpful. Pharmacist was condescending. When I explained the situation, he then told me there were no refills. Time to change to another pharmacy.

I used to love this target pharmacy, until they switched my medications manufacturer and I had a terrible reaction. When I confronted the Pharmacist about my reaction he continued to lie to me with a straight face. He said the previous manufacturer was recently bought out and it seemed they were no longer making my medication. I have a pharmasist friend look into it for safety measure and found the manufacturer is still around and still producing my medication. So I suffered for no reason and they were trying to cover themselves. Awful.

Slowest cashiers in the world. I’ve been in line twice as long as it took me to find the 10 items on my list. This is not an isolated event. Every time we come here it’s an ordeal to get out of the store in under 10 minutes.

Everytime I go in here my wallet is a lot lighter. The store is very clean. You can always find the thing you really need. I am really not sure why they put that really small produce section in the store? It barely has any produce. The book section is pretty decent with the best sellers. I have also found old movies for like $ 5 & not just thrown in a bin but neatly on the shelves so you don’t have to search for them. I love this store all the way until I get to the check out counters. They never have enough cashiers & their line are long.

This review is compared to other targets I’ve been into (particularly the ones in Jersey.) It’s just ok. I feel sometimes the deals at other targets are a little better than this one. It’s also sometimes really hard to find what you are looking for. I always feel as if the items aren’t really fully stocked.
This past weekend, I came here to get my son a new sippy cup bc I lost the one he uses sooo often on the Boardwalk somewhere. Couldn’t find it at all here!!! So many empty hooks where the sippy cups would hang from and tons of empty shelves as well. Come on! It’s the weekend. You should be at your fullest and have everything stocked. Ugh! I ended up buying a different brand which I don’t completely love. :-(
Good thing about this place is that it does have a starbucks. If you’ve seen my check ins, you know I love my starbucks! Bad thing about the Starbucks here… only one worker so waiting for a drink can be death. Haha (maybe not that serious, but you get my point)
I come here often bc it’s right across the street from me. So convienient if I need something fast. I never really had a problem with lines either whenever I go. Maybe bc if I see a long line, I’ll just leave and come back another day. Teehee

I pretty much use target for food and once in a while the café. Also I use pharmacy and the workers there are excellent. Samantha at pharmacy cares about her job.

As a resident with many Target Stores available, I find myself trekking to this location most often. (over South Philly, City Avenue, the next two closest). It’s cleaner than most, the staff are pleasant, and they are well stocked. For near center city shoppers, a go-​to Target experience.

i love all targets, but this one brings in all the scum from the west… have a nice day !

I’ve been consistently satisfied with this Target.
I can get my cosmetics, toiletries, water filters, and animal supplies at a reasonable price. I love all of the Archer Farms foods and that I can get something from Starbucks or grab a blue raz Icee on my way out. I’ve been looking for a new bed set, though, and each time I come here I can’t find anything that’ll work. Something else that disappointed me was I visited here the Tuesday after Christmas and all of the trees were gone. My husband and I were waiting until after the holidays to get one at a discount, and we obviously had no luck with that. Overall, though, this is an OK place to shop. Not TOO crowded, and you’ll probably find what you need.

After 3.5 years of the South Philly Target, I’m now a shopper of this one (since I moved up to Fishtown… obviously).
The difference is pretty amazing. Its… clean. Actually clean! Employees that look and act like employees! Products on shelves and hangers instead of the floor! It’s a miracle!
I still don’t think the layout is great, but that’s every Target store I’ve ever been in.
I also still dislike the majority of the other shoppers (Yes, it’s rude to leave your cart sideways in an aisle while you wander over to 3 other aisles as slowly as possible) but that has no bearing on the actual store.
So much happier with this store!

I don’t see how anyone could spend their money & money at the Target in South Philly when this location an option. It’s clean & friendly and I have yet to have a bad experience while shopping here.
I was at this location just last night and I found everything on my list and more! The cashier was extremely friendly, even though I had her price check everything and I changed my mind on a few items. Even the parking lot is less stressful!
An insider tip: Now is the perfect time of year to go. The clearance racks are filled with merchandise ranging from 30 — 75% off!

It’s a target — but not the best one. It’s got alot of pick-​over merchandise, but all in all we can usually get what we need.
We shop here 1 – 2 times per month and never fail to drop at least $ 100 on household products, toddler gear and assorrted crap we don’t really need EVERY time we walk thru the door.

this is MY target!
this is the one closest to my house and this is the one i go to more than once a week. even just to roam around.
sadly it doesnt carry the designer clothing lines i dont think.
but theyre always in stock with everything else.
they have great sales. helpful people work here. its never too crowded, though it is getting busier lately. i think for a while people in this area didnt «get» target and stuck to their kmart and walmart and save a lot, etc. but now they have caught on. still, its a clean target and an organized target for the most part. also the parking lot is never crazy which rules.

Lets go over this again. Target is the new K-​Mart. All cookie cutter stores and cookie cutter products. You don’t believe me then just walk into a K-​Mart then walk into Target. I don’t mean to say that you can’t get some convenient shopping done there because that’s what it’s for — convenient shopping (it is a convenience store). But my god, people act like they’ve never seen such a store — please open your eye boogie encrusted eyes. Go for convenience but lets keep it at that — if you determine this to be unique shopping, well, then that says it all.

Well, it’s a Target. That being said, when I get into a car and decide whether to go to this Target or the South Philly Target, this one usually wins.
Not that either Target store is physically different from each other but what makes this Target an experience is the people that visit it. I’ve heard people screaming at each other, other people get rude with the help, and some other weird experiences that lend me to shrug my shoulders and say «eh! That’s Northeast Philly!» The staff, though, is usually helpful which is nice.
