“I was happy to find a decent selection of black slacks and men's button-ups for my daughter's new job. I wish we had more time to browse but they were closing. I'll be paying this spot another visit soon. They have a good-sized houseware department too.”

“TJ Maxx, Alameda
August 2026
The customer service here is good. The value for the stuff is good too but they can get even cheaper with the red stickers and much cheaper with the final yellow stickers.
Great selection of clothes and furnitures.
They removed the other cashier line that used to be by the doorway on the other side by Kohl’s.
Also, they have clean restrooms!
Overall I had a great experience and would come back when I'm in the area.”
“I love Daiso, so this is a review for this location only and not the company as a whole. This location is smaller than most and while there was a wide range of products it felt less stocked than a typical Daiso. The low lighting made it difficult to read some packaging, I didn't find it to be very well lit in comparison to most retail stores like Target or DollarTree. Staff was less friendly than typical for Daiso, but they also seemed to be understaffed, so maybe I was just there on a bad day for them. Parking at this location is ample, there's a huge free lot, but you have to walk a ways to find the entrance and go to the store. I've been going to this shopping center for 5 years and only just discovered it was there, so it's not very obvious to find. The pricing is all listed in Yen, and they have charts to show you how they're converting it to US dollars for your purchase.”

“Went to find a TV table. Found one and many things I needed, and some things I didn't need but thought were cute. Add some questions for the employees , and they were very kind and helpful. Special thanks to Dion for his help. I need to go back when I have more time to really look at what they have.”
“Living in the Bay Area, I think I prefer this Target over any anywhere else. For the most part, it's organized, and I'm able to find more employees if I need help. I like the selection, and they categorize all their items. I also feel like that I can find what I want. I had been going to the Emeryville location, but I like how not a lot of things are on the floor or missing from packaging.”
“100% satisfaction at this location. Alameda Ca Target is crushing it. Staff is wonderful and using the drive up pick up order is so easy and they are on it.
Thanks Target of Alameda, CA.”

“Ross Dress for Less, Alameda
August 2026
I think Ross has been listening! I’ve been here many times and agree with most of the reviewers. This location seems to have re-organized the store.
Upon arriving, the security greeted us and we noticed a big space in the entrance. The store itself looks the same. They added a few self-check out but you have to let the worker in the front check out the items and scan them too which we didn’t mind.
Ross stuff is pretty good value depending on what you buy, but it’s cheaper than major retail stores.
Great customer service and would come back when I’m in the area.”
“Nice variety of CG and civilian clothing, electronics, and household & hygiene items. Gas tends to be either a great deal, or more expensive than town because they only change their prices 1x week or every other week. (Sometimes it’s cheaper than Costco in San Leandro.) Also of note, propane is only $52 for a new tank, or $20 for a refill. About $20 cheaper for a new tank here than in town or Nob Hill or Home Depot. ATM is often out of service or cash, but there’s a SeaWest just off base that has a reliable ATM.”
