Target

Well this review might be a bit redundant considering that le Targe is closing up in Canada. I’ve heard alot of mixed things about these new box-​stores, but I didn’t mind them, especially this location, which was the first custom built Target in Canada. Nice open layout, a better selection of clothing and less existential dread than Walmart.
The main problem with this store, and with all the Targets apparently was the lack of selection. I remember that they only had 4 or 5 styles of men’s shoes in the whole store. Quite lacking, especially compared to the American stores.
I guess it remains to be seen what will fill this massive space in the middle of a mall… my guess, a Walmart…

Always when I come here I am never disappointed. The staff are really friendly and always there for you. The self checkout system is really amazing if you want to use it. The washrooms are really clean and they have a wide selection of electronics. The style of their furniture is good. And I like there up&up brand. Target may not have the prices like Walmart but they have the quality. Price does not always matter at the end of the day. What matters is are you willing to pay the price for what your buying? Is it good quality? Will it last long?(Does not apply for grocery)
Well done Target!

A bit better stocked than other Canadian targets I’ve been in. Still a lot of pathetic empty shelves though.
C’mon Tarzhay — you fired you director up here and should have had time to get your shit together. Why do your Canadian stores need to look like the GUM Department Store in the Soviet era?

Here’s the Real Deal.
I’ve been to a couple of the retro fit Targets. They really weren’t that good.
This one on the other hand should be the Flagship Store for Target. Love the design of the store the layout, and the staff.
Starbucks yes but not for me. What I like most about it, was there was high end medium end and low end. This place is meant for all income brackets. This was a easy to follow shopping design. Great products and ones I would not expect to find here. Ample parking and great shopping Carts. I’m truly looking forward to going back to this Target. Third time the charm. You now have a new customer !!!
That’s the Real Truth.

I don’t know what people mean by all the complaints about Target with empty shelves and terrible pricing! I love coming here, maybe a bit too much. I find they have a well curated selection of all sorts of green and organic products, and staff seem pretty friendly. Their homeware selection is also fantastic and very affordable. Also, everything is very well lit, and things are really tidy in this store. I will definitely be back again!

Big, clean, cheap and has a good variety and selection of items that other places like Wal-​mart don’t. I love it so much more because i can buy everything i need at one place. Their combat boots are sturdy and cute, the school supplies section is stacked and has great deals, the employees are a little over eager but very helpful and overall, i just really love this location. Starbucks is in store, too, so that’s a plus.

Toronto’s newest Tarjay. A real gem.
This is a larger one, I feel like its buyers are better here than the one in the east end. It isn’t just like a Walmart. OK clothes, furniture and party supply sections.
What are you waiting for? Go here, grab a Starbucks and a cart and play American while picking up some cheap summer crap.
PEPPER POINTS for their swell Toronto Blue Jays section. Let’s go Blue Jays *clap clap clap clap clap.*

If you can ever get over the fact that this is a big box store that is both non-​Canadian and possible competition (I.e. Something that might make other stores sweep, evaluate their prices, or ask their employees to bathe) for some other stores in the area, you might like Target.
The negatives here are navigating the entrance on the ground floor, and the fact that it is a big box store with big box type customer service.
Beyond that…
1. It’s shiny, new, and neat. The place makes Canadian Tire look like a thrift store.
2. Everything is displayed well. It is easy to find things here. No clutter.
3. The grocery selection is limited, but features major brands you expect at great prices.
4. They have a good selection of nicer brands throughout the store.
Once the entire Stockyards development is finished, shopping here will be even better.

I like Target. This location in particular is brand spankin’ new so everything is still fresh and clean. And aesthetically, it’s SO much nicer than Wal-​Mart.
I got sucked into the clothing section right upon entering the store, and that’s where I spent the majority of my visit. I can’t help but like the Massimo line of clothing they carry. I picked up a couple pairs of work pants that to my delight, I was a size 2 in. *Note: sizing for the Massimo line is a bit wonky.* They also carry the brand «Beaver Canoe» (remember that brand? 90’s flashback…), which is actually a line of Roots. The sweatpants we picked up were pretty good quality, and only $ 24.99.
I don’t think a lot of people know this location is open yet (it’s only been open about 2 weeks now), because when I was there on Sunday morning, it was dead. Even the cashier was commenting on how empty the store had been. It was so nice feeling like we had most of the store to ourselves, though. Once more stores start opening up in the surrounding area, I’m sure things will pick up for this location.
Extra star for the coupons they were handing out (specifically for the Stockyards location.) We scored a coupon for a 50% off a Starbucks drink that we used right away. The caramel macchiatto was delicious.

Yay Target. I still don’t know why there is hype around Target, nor have I really done a price match between here and Walmart, but I’m happy that there is one close by in case of a specific sale item I want to get.
It’s really big and clean. I went to another Target location up at Steeles and Yonge, and it felt bare and grimy. I didn’t want to shop there, but here — I was suckered into the clothing section by the cheerleader effect, all looking nice and appealing, but when you get closer the clothes don’t seem to look right. There’s an entire maternity and baby section so I do see myself taking advantage of this in the future.
I could see myself buying lots of things I don’t need in a store like this if they maintain the bright lights and cleanliness.
I liked everything here except the food section, but I did notice they had lots of all natural products and gluten free things. But I’m still weary of putting my clothes and my food in the same basket. I’m old school like that.
Never understood the line up at the cash, and how two tills back to back and help a line up situation — instead it’s just really confusing.
The Starbucks here doesn’t take your rewards card, and when I showed it to them, they didn’t seem to know what it was. Very strange.

It’s cleaner than other department stores, with a great grocery section. Otherwise it’s basically the same as anything else you’ve seen.
Taking an elevator from street level seems weird. But on the plus side: covered parking.
