Target is one of my favorite shops. Quick and easy and has everything. This location doesn’t usually have many registers open but there isn’t a horrible amount of wait time to ring up.
Their grocery section has all the staples you need but is light on produce so don’t go in with high expectations on that end.
Aisles are organized and this location doesn’t usually get too packed, so it’s a clear winner over the Walmart across the street.
The Starbucks inside is not normally super well stocked so I wouldn’t bank on it having your favorite drink but they have concessions as well so if you have a little one with you you can grab them a drink or some food while you walk around the store. And it’s only .20 to get them a crazy straw and totally make their day!

So sorry for the long review… but I must post this. I’ve shopped at this Target for the last 4 years. I have never had any store ever accuse me of stealing after I returned an item to exchange for a different style or for it being defective. I felt horrible and very sick to my stomach that I could not continue the remainder of my shopping.
My boyfriend bought me some regular stud earrings for Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I love jewelry of all types, but my Bf had picked out a pair of earrings that had a frosty, stain glass look to them and they were spheres, with fake rhinestone on them. When I got them as my gift, they seemed like something that a 10 year old would wear because they actually weren’t glass, they were just plastic. I just placed them on my dresser and left them until I got the courage to ask him if I could exchange them. I asked him and he said sure, that if he knew they were plastic, he would not have purchased them in the first place.
This happened during the first or second weekend of January. I was out running errands and stopped in at this Target. I went in to the Customer Service desk and a nice young lady was there to assist me. She did her job by asking «What’s the reason for the return?’ and «Since you do not have a gift receipt, I can only give you the reduced sales price as refund and on a gift card would that be okay?» I said that’s fine, as I remember from working in retail years ago, my store did that too. I got my $ 11 + change on a gift card and walked over to the jewelry dept. to select a new set of earrings. As I am browsing an employee had asked if I needed any assistance and I kindly thanked her and said no, I am just browsing. I had already picked out the ones I wanted but was checking out other jewelry as well. So a few more minutes went by and that same employee walked up to me and asked if I was the lady who just return a pair of earrings. I confirmed and then she asked me «And why did you return these again?» I explained that my Bf had bought them for me and they were not my style. She responds with «Well the earrings attached to the package did not match the description that rang up on barcode.» I said, well, those earrings were what I received and told her that I don’t think my Bf would swap out cheap stud earrings for a even different pair of cheap stud earrings? Maybe these were actually returned this way and put back out and that is what he picked up? She said, «Are you sure those were what was on there when you got it?» I then said to her, I will be glad to give you back the gift card that the funds for the return are on and take the earrings back. It will just be a loss out of my Bf’s pocket. And she then said «I am not accusing you of stealing!» I told her, it sure sounds like she was and that I would never, ever steal anything and that I shop here are the time and have never had any problems until now. Needless to say, I could not continue with my shopping because they watch me the whole time. I ended up just leaving and going to a different location.
I went back this weekend and while I was there getting a gift bag and gift tissue paper, I was followed down numerous isles by one of their employees. It makes me feel very uncomfortable and OFFICIALLY done with this location. I am a RED Card holder too. Why would a REAL thief have the RED Card that links up to their banking info constantly be a thief??? Most loss prevention situations I’ve experienced while working in retail used cash for everything. Why, because there is no paper trail.

This Target is horrible. The customer service is ridiculous. I feel like I’m shopping at Walmart every time I go there. Either the lines are long while the managers stand around, not helping or the cashier screws up checking my items and takes 20 minutes to get me through. Tonight, I had trouble with a cashier focused on other people as she checked me out. Then the manager told her not to honor my coupons. This is the worst Target I have ever been to.

This Target is very frustrating to shop at. Their inventory is often very low. The vitamin section is not usually stocked the way it is suppose be. The clothes section, and shoe section is a mess. I would prefer to shop at this Target because it’s close to me, but find myself wanting to go to other Targets because they are much neater and less stressful to shop at.

I haven’t been to this Target in a while and man has it gone down hill. The employee competence level has dropped drastically at this location. My wife went in for a pair a jeans and upon checkout, there was not a tag on the jeans she selected. The bewildered cashier (Danielle) stumbled around for a while crumpling up the jeans and finally called a manager over who I can only guess felt my wife was dishonest when she said all of that brand were $ 27.99. (She was on the penny.) So the manager took off on what I can only guess was a coffee/​smoke break as we sat there waiting.
The cashier then just started checking other people out pushing us out of the way. Bottom line is we walked in to spend money here and were treated like it was our fault THEIR jeans were not labeled for checkout.
Target will no longer be my first choice for all things, and I will never return to this dump of a store because of the sub-​standard employees.

Local target, usually kept pretty clean. Checkout is a little slower here, but I tend to come during non-​peak hours. There is a starbucks inside, which I love!

I don’t come here much for shopping because its more pricey but I like what they have and employees are nice, I come here for Starbucks honestly its good

Prefer going to this target than the Walmart across the street. Clean but sometimes unorganized but lots better than Walmart..

I can never walk Into any target and spend less than at least $ 40 on stuff I didn’t even come in for. With that being said, I obviously love the place! This location is clean and they have gotten better about trying to organize. Their dollar section however, well, it’s a «dollar section» don’t expect it to stay organized.

Shinny new looking store. I was dragged her by a friend that wanted to buy a BSB cd before she dragged me to the concert. Very friendly cashier too.

Typical Target. Good location, clean, and the cashier was friendly.

I used to love this Target. Used to. I have been going ever since it moved from its old location on Jones Road. Over the last couple years it has gone way south and is just a small step above Walmart across the street. Sure, it is usually less crowded than Walmart but I think the people from the other side of the street have discovered Target and are wrecking it. The women and children’s clothes section is always a nightmare; good luck finding anything in your size. You usually have to hunt around and locate it on another rack. If I go in looking for something I know they should have, 90% of the time I end up trekking to the Target at Spring Cypress and 290 to find it in stock. The employees seem like they don’t care and the ones that do are swamped with trying to keep up. It is at least clean, I will give them that. But I am starting to lose my love and devotion to this particular Target. It has the same clientele swarming it like locusts and leaving it destroyed as Kohl’s across the street. I live so close to this shopping area I hate to drive out of the way but it is getting to be ridiculous. If you go shopping at this Target, you will find most of what you want but be prepared to miss an item or two or three from your shopping list.

So much better than the Walmart across the street! Much cleaner, and better quality products. I’ll pay the extra cents to shop here and not have to deal with «the people of walmart». The only thing that isn’t worth it here are the bananas which are currently $ 0.24 each.

I love how this place is almost never busy as Walmart. That’s a plus since I don’t like dodging hoards of people around an isle with a shopping cart.
What I don’t like, they close too dang early! Please open up 24 hour Targets in Houston.

Don’t think I have ever been in a bad target, a small one yes, but dirty or bad no! Great place to get lost in for a few hours. Love to walk and talk in Target after a big meal or mani/​pedi.
All the ladies in my family love getting lost in Target.
With the surge of Target brand products it is almost as good as walmart.

Pretty clean Target inside, typical fare to purchase. FAR better than the nasty Walmart across the street. However, I had to hunt down a sales person for help in electronics.

Great store! No wait! reasonable prices. Nice stuff nuff said!

Let me start by stating that I unequivocally despise Wal-​Mart. This hatred started in high school, when I worked at K-​Mart and Wal-​Mart employees would come spy on us (I shit you not, true story-​they wanted to mark their prices lower than ours). The hatred has grown over the years as I have found that they treat their employees like slave labor, have no respect for indigenous cultures (building a Wal-​Mart over a cemetary? Come on!), and have had numerous lawsuits over sexist/​racist treatment, which says to me there’s a systemic problem. No amount of cheap tube socks excuses that for me.
Due to my hatred for Wal-​Mart, and the fact that K-​Mart is no more in Houston (plus I got sick of them anyway, LOL), I started shopping at Target. Now nothing can tear me away, not even the fact that they took a great Beatles song and used it for one of their commercials!
Wal-​Mart probably does have better prices on some items, but even if they didn’t exemplify everything wrong with Corporate America, I still wouldn’t fight the crowds there. Target is a more comfortable environment, both in how the store is laid out and the crowd factor. It seems to me that Wal-​Mart stacks things one on top of the other, all the way to the ceiling, which adds to the sense of claustrophobia. Target is almost always neat, spacious, and everything is easy to find. And you can find everything from the latest George Foreman grill to $ 5 DVD’s to deoderant, even furniture. We recently bought a $ 30 bookshelf at Target that is sturdy AND looks nice (take that, Ikea!). Target is THE BEST place for children’s clothes, as they are fairly well made, and for the price, perfect (if they start to fade, tear, etc., it’s right when your kid grows out of them!).
As far as groceries, I love the prices and just wish they’d expand the grocery department. The prices on frozen shrimp and tilapia enable me to eat my beloved seafood a lot more than if I just shopped at the grocery store. And my fave, Amy’s Organic Burritos, are only $ 1.50 as compared to almost $ 3.00 at other stores!
My only gripe is with the Starbucks in this particular Target; I once sent my daughter over to get us some Macchiatos right before 9:00 PM, and she was told «we’re closed after the people in front of you» (there weren’t other people behind her either)! I understand they want to get out of there and go live their life, but I’ve worked retail and I can’t forgive that total and complete lack of customer service. I blame Starbucks though, not Target. Target employees have always been helpful and friendly in my experience.
The store itself is neat, though the restrooms vary, depending on the day. The parking lot is also maintained well, and they come get the carts regularly, which I like as that means fewer carts outside to hit my vehicle and more carts inside for us shoppers. The service desk is always efficient and friendly; I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes to return or exchange something.
To be cliché and use a phrase that’s probably been done to death: Target is on target (har!). Seriously. Love this place!
