Target

Target has always been the best place to find essentials for my family, like socks and school supplies and I have shopped at a lot of Target stores, but I have to say, honestly, the one in Salem is the worst.
Nothing is ever put away on its correct shelf. You never know how much anything costs. The store is dirty. Even on quiet days, the dressing rooms are so full of discarded clothing that you can’t hang anything up. They always seem understaffed and they are constantly out of product (though, I bet it is hard to get an inventory of what they have in stock since products are never where they should be).
It is very frustrating to shop there, so I will not be returning.

I go here very often, and yet I still have no idea what to write. Here goes nothing…
This Target is small as far as Targets go, you will likely find they have a more limited selection that some other targets in the area. That is not to say they don’t have a whole lot of stuff.
Most of the stuff they have, excluding some electronics is on the budget end of the spectrum. While you will find a good DSLR camera, or a nice laptop, or a huge flat screen, you will not find [much] desinger clothing, super high-​end electronics, or a wide food selection. However, if you need a toothbrush, socks, or a package of AA batteries, this is a go to place.
Prices are not as low as Wal-​Mart, but you pay slightly more for slightly higher quality. The store is cleaner, and staff is generally more helpful. Still service can be hit or miss. There are some associates that were mean, and some that are helpful. Mark at the service desk is awesome!
They have a generous return policy, you can return many items that most stores will typically not accept. Rather than list all of them, I will say this: don’t be afraid to ask, especially on high priced items. But it is a no on bicycles, which kind of sucks.
Also, while I understand why, it would be nice if they were not required to try to get everyone to get a Target RedCard. They get me almost every time, but I already have one…

This Target is like a bizarreo with limited selection and little to no food items. I know drive to Woburn or Danvers instead of going to this Target.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Target location where the staff was so unwilling to acknowledge customers. Nor have I been to a location that was so slow to get new products onto their shelves. On top of that, they have the same only-​one-​or-​two-​registers-​open-​at-​a-​time-​regardless-​of-​how-​many-​customers-​are-​waiting policy as every other Target I’ve ever been to.

I was indecisive about changing my phone and Mike at Target Mobile was incredibly helpful. He was not only very knowledgeable about all the products it seems but he was very patient in answering my questions and explaining all the pros and cons for each different phone i looked at. Great Chap to be representing your store! Two thumbs up! Great attitude too!!!

Great location for me but a very limited
product selection. Movies, music, games,
books and electronics much better to go
online or to the Mall! If choices are what
you like and what your looking for I would
say to look elsewhere.

I am staying with a friend for a few weeks in Salem and needed to go to Target. I live in Boston and have been spoiled by the South Bay Target. I know this and I keep my expectations in check but I will never ever go back to this target. It was a complete mess with boxes and carts of merchandise blocking every aisle. All of the staff were busy talking to each other and never once looked up. I stood in front of the fitting rooms (which were piled with clothes and full of carts) and a woman about 10 feet looked up saw me and then put her head down to keep working. I finally approached her and asked if I should just walk in she barely grunted at me. I’ve been in targets in many different states and never experienced this– in fact Target is always a comfortable norm when I travel– but not here. Terrible Terrible Terrible.

It’s not the same and their dollar section has no selection and very disorganized which is a big reason I come into target

There isn’t much about Target that I can say that will change anyones mind. Its Target, plain and simple. I like Target and the prices seem fair. My secret is that you must get to Target (any Target really) before Noon on weekends. That way you can get a parking space, get the sales, and get the heck out. Yay Targe’!

This isn’t really my favorite Target, but it’s the most convenient to my house — so I put up with it. It’s a smaller Target store… so while they do have a market section, it is extremely limited (oh how I miss my South Bay Target!!) with very little variety.
The store layout is OK with the clothing section front and center, but everything just feels really compacted. For the essentials, it’s a quick and convenient stop… but this Target doesn’t allow me the freedom to grocery shop like others. I miss that convenience!

4 stars just because it’s a better alternative to Wal-​Mart.

I’ve been here several times and although they seem to have more sale racks then the other Targets I frequent this one is poorly laid out and a bit dark compared to the others.
The staff is wonderful, as most Target staffers are and the selection is great but they have a really tiny electronics section and a more confusing layout.
They do have a Pizza Hut though which is a definite plus :)

This review is solely based on their pharmacy. OUTSTANDING. They are so incredibly on top of things. I have a family member who is on a TON of meds and they are changed frequently. Target has the best pharmacists who are so attentive to our needs. One pharmacist went so far as to offer to deliver meds to our home when we said we might not make it before closing time. Who does this? So impressed.
I suggest checking out with your other purchases at the pharmacy too since you might get terrible service with the regular cashiers. I don’t want to taint this review and write about the front end of the store.

Because Wal-​mart is literally next door — this Target is ALWAYS dead. Saturday/​Sunday mornings, nights — whenever you want to go. I went in one time and had to ask if they were still open even though the doors were working and the employees wandering around… it’s just so deafeningly quiet! I LOVE it. Plus they always have every size… no one is there to buy anything! Go. Go for the groceries, the eye drops, the cheapo clothes, just go for alone time. The parking lot can be trying but it’s peaceful inside. I wish they had a Starbucks but it would probably be for just me so I understand why they keep their gross concessions.

I have never been disappointed in this Target and I go atleast once a week. My husband and I are able to get all that we need from lightbulbs to batteries to cleaning supplies to the archer farms chips and nuts that I am addicted to. The staff is friendly enough and laughs at my husbands jokes. So clean and big and plenty of parking. Only complaint is that it doesn’t open up until 8am. There have been a couple of times that I could have used it being open at 7am on weekdays but whatever– I can wait a little extra time.

i’m a super big fan of this target. there are all these hidden clearance gems in most departments on the endcaps closest to the walls. i’ve tried things i may not have tried if they hadn’t been on sale (including the chunky vegetable salsa by archer farms… super good. i’d buy it full price!) and i’ve found things i actually needed for cheap. awesome.
it’s pretty large and spread out well. the only place i’ve ever felt like i was overcrowded was the toy section. i don’t need toys though so i guess that’s not too bad. it’s not set up like every other target ever, but i don’t find that all targets are universal anyway. i like the difference because you end up going to sections you don’t always frequent. tricky bastids.
i want to redo my apartment every time i go in there. they have awesome, fun household items. i’m actually planning a trip back in the next couple days so i can redecorate my bathroom with bright polka-​dotted shit. YAY!
they have a bunch of designer make-​up, including the brand pixi, which i love. it’s weird that the coffee shelves are next to the sally hansen nail polish but that’s a-​ok with me.
i do think the movie selection is SLIGHTLY lacking, but i was looking for «can’t hardly wait» and that movie hasn’t been super popular lately so it was probably a tall order. they did have a ton of movies, though, just not what i needed (and i need this movie).
i never have to wait too long in line, which is nice. i can’t say the cashiers are super chatty but that’s fine. just ring up my crap and let me go.
as with all target stores, this place has great prices, very good selection, and is slightly less stressful than wal-​mart. love this location.

Target has huge aisles of goodies to choose from. It’s fun browsing, but there’s also a terrifically dangerous aspect to it. When I was living in California, I had a small group of friends with whom I shopped weekly. There’s always a great find on the mark down shelves. And I often stumble onto them.
Snacks, drinks, toiletries, and other household stuff at low prices; although spending $ 100 is easy to accomplish. Like moth to a flame ;b
