“Good workers here with decent prices. We usually buy our pool sanitizer here. Deer hunting licenses was why we stopped by today and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and helpful.”

“Our visit today was to create a college registry for my daughter. We went straight to the help desk (after getting our on site Starbucks) to ask questions. Two smiling employees greeted us promptly and quickly walked us through how to use the Target app to create one. The process is completely user friendly and can actually be done from home. We wanted to make a girls day outing of it so we stayed in store and used our phones to scan items. The store has a large selection of helpful college dorm room supplies, including storage, space saving items, classroom supplies and comfort items. They even have a suggested items list for college registries. While she scanned for dorm room items I decided to make a wish list for myself. We had a blast. Whether you like to shop in store or online the registry is so convenient and easy to use. Target is almost always busy however the parking lot is huge with a run over parking lot to the west side of the building, so parking is never a problem. They have in store pickup and curbside pickup and handicap parking is also available including automatic doors. I like that they usually have different price points for similar items depending on your budget. All in all it was a completely painless experience and I would definitely go here again for future registries.”
