The parking lot is a bit of a bear, but the store is always clean and reasonably well stocked(unless it’s a post holiday rush, in which case seasonal is a free-for-all). I always go in and find things I never knew I needed, and can justify it by the fun clearance and use of the Target card! Yay 5% savings! One thing that drives me nuts about this Target is 1) they seem to forget what express checkouts are for except on Black Friday and the day after Christmas, and 2) they always have a million employees but only one on a register. Apparently they don’t train everyone to ring, so while you’re waiting in line to purchase two items, you can play«Count the Red Shirts» while unoccupied employees wander around the courtesy desk.

Bright. Clean. Fast check out. Selection is a little lighter than that of other targets. The restaurant was a little messy. Not many sizes for big and tall men(none really). Overall good experience

The basketball system I wanted was out on the shelf but I was easily able to find someone who located it in the stockroom and brought it out for me. They opened up a register so I didn’t have to wait in line and helped me load it into my vehicle. The store is remodeling but they are not allowing that to distract from keeping the store looking good and providing great service.

Ah Target. What I like to call a glorified Wal-Mart. This Target is the same as the rest. Large, clean, a little more pricey then Wal-Mart on somethings but the clothes quality is way better. The employees there are average. Some can be very helpful and some can be very vague. Had a run-in with a bad employee once but I’m not going to judge the whole store based on that one experience. I don’t see the point of them adding a Grocery section to the store though. You have Price Chopper and Stop and Shop right around the corner. I think it’s a waste of time and money and I hope it doesn’t get rid of some of the things they provide that Wal-Mart doesn’t. I recommend it. I go to Wal-mart for things and then Target for others.

Coming in early October: This Target will get a full-scale grocery section. In the meantime, things are a little messed up, as the whole place is being renovated. Some sections are half-empty. It will be worth it eventually, but for now, grin and bear it. Employees are helpful and unusually friendly. The jewelry/accessories section seems bigger and better stocked than other Targets. Everything is very clean, especially the ladies room.

Me likey Target. So happy when they opened one in T-town. I find everything here and it doesn’t depress me like Walmart does. I usually start off by going to the Starbucks inside and getting myself some shopping-propellant to carry around… then I make my way around the aisles! Seriously, it rocks.

Considering that the only other mass-merchandiser choice in town is Torrington’s own piece of Hell on Earth, Walmart(No, I’m not even considering K-Mart because in my opinion, they should have went out of business 5 years ago), I love Target. They have some awesome clearance deals(look for end shelves with random miscellaneous items all dumped together on them, like in the health & beauty department) if you’re willing to dig. Plus, everything in Target is cute. For comparable prices to Walmart, their stuff is better quality and more aesthetically pleasing. The bathrooms are probably the only public toilet I will willingly use without hesitation, the bathroom(ladies room anyway) is always clean and smells fresh(faintly citrusy) and they have those awesome hand dryers that actually have a useful high amount of air flow to blow the water off your hands. There’s also the requisite Starbucks… although I wish Torrington would get an actual freestanding one, none of this in Price Chopper(now closed) and in Target garbage… but an ACTUALFREESTANDINGCOFFEESHOP… but I digress. If I know something is cheaper at Walmart or otherwise unavailable at Target, it now PAINS me to go to Wally World(which for the record, is practically next door) because Torrington’s Target is just THAT awesome.

I have no laugh because no matter where I live, it takes me 40 minutes to get to a Target. When I lived in CT /when I visit my parents in CT, I have to drive 40 minutes down to Torrington. Now that I live in Manhattan, via public transit, it STILL takes me 40 minutes to get to a Target. This chick can’t win. But I digress… This Target is a welcomed addition to the small Northwestern Connecticut shopping scene. I used to drive more than an hour to the Target in Lanesborough, Massachusetts or relunctantly settle for Torrington’s Wal-Mart while masking debilitiating anxiety attacks, so the day the doors opened to this store, I could hear the angels singing their angelic choir over my head. Quite beautiful, really… This Target is very clean and bright, with an excellent selection in ALL departments. Their women’s clothing section is one of the better ones I’ve seen at ANY Target, and they have plentiful dressing rooms as well. There is a Starbucks which makes any Northwest Connecticut resident drinking it feel ten times cooler.(Trust me… that used to be me. I used to keep the used cup in my car’s cup holder to show off. Damn straight.) Also, the Pizza Hut dining area, though I’ve never partaken in it, seems to be very convenient to families with hungry, screaming children. Oh, Torrington Tar-Jay. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

It’s your usual Target, with a Starbucks on site and quite possibly the most futuristic lavatory in Torrington. They have a pretty decent selection of goods, as expected, and the store is generally quite clean. They’re very punctual about seasonal items, so get them while they’re available.
