Target Stores

The pharmacy assistant in the Target Stonecrest location named Jenn has helped me out several times in odd situations with my meds. Today, as I could tell was a tough one because they are converting from Target run to CVS managed, she went above and beyond what any retail employee has ever done in assisting me. I have worked in retail for over 24 years and I have never had someone as helpful as she has been. Target is lucky to have her!

I used to love Target, now… meh.
This Target is relatively clean, there’s a good selection of merchandise. The staff leaves much to be desired. Almost evey employee I run into has a sour attitude. Today I was almost run over by an employee pushing a cart out of an aisle. I apologized and said, «I’m sorry, I didn’t see you» He scoffed and blew past me. Really? That’s just common courtesy, at least offer a weak «excuse me».
The pharmacy on the other hand has always been great. I drive out of my way to use this pharmacy. The pharmacist, Ali, is AWESOME. On more than one occasion he has helped me and done so with the utmost respect. The technicians are equally as amazing, I’ve never encountered a cranky pants (and I’ve been using them for 5+ years).

Its a NO from me. I am a HUGE proponent of Target and most especially the Pizza Hut Pizza that can be found in nearly every SnackBar at all locations, but yesterday all that hype disappeared for me regarding this Stonecrest location. I walked in, hungry and salivating for some hot, fresh, juicy pizza and what did I find? A closed, dark, empty SnackBar next to the still open Starbucks. What a shame! I literally stood in front of the devoid warming shelves that usually house the yummiest creation on this earth — Pizza Hut Pizza from Target. Now i am not one for confrontation — jk i totally am. The lady at the Starbucks counter turned to me and said «Excuse me, but they are closed now,» to which i sternly replied «I know» as i continued to stare into the shiny metal shelves, still warm from their long days work of heating that yummy snack. I mean excuse me for desiring your Pizza Hut Pizza and getting there BEFORE not AFTER your supposed closing time. It wasn’t even 9 yet! So long Stonecrest Target! It will be a while before i can muster up the courage to set foot in your walls again after such a traumatic experience. #PizzaHutPizzaAtTarget i love you.

I love target. Never have had a bad experience before, but today this lady in the women’s fitting room made my shopping experience miserable.
She barely looked at me when I talked to her, she was in the phone, she seemed mad for returning back some items. I bet she doesn’t like her job
The store is nice though, clean and organized.

I’m starting to notice a pattern here, but it’s not a bad thing. It’s kind of nice to go into a Target and have things in the same places as some other Targets. Things feel familiar; you have a sense of direction and have an idea where things are. I went directly to the toy department. For the item I wanted, there were multiple price points and product choices which was nice. The battery section is conveniently located by checkout. Checkout was fast. In and out in about 5 minutes. There’s also a Starbuck’s kiosk associated with the snack bar here.

Set up like most Target’s, but it had a very small purse/​accessory section (I thought).
Easy enough to find what I needed and head out. Check-​outs started to get busy as I walked up & they were already calling cashiers to the front to help, so things went quickly.
Why do they have these behemoth shopping carts, though?

My favorite target in the area. Just gotta deal with that parking lot. Avoid during holidays… but that’s all stores.

This Target is at a good location, inside Stonecrest. It has a Starbucks and it’s little food court as well. They also have a place to print pictures, so really it’s a one stop shop.
Not technically a Super Target, it has a grocery section. This store is normally clean in all aspects including the bathrooms.
Sometimes finding an option at the checkout can be difficult. A very popular location, they can never seem to have enough cashiers and there is always a line. They also have no clear way of blocking off a lane when the cashier is trying to go on break.
On Sunday morning this place was really hopping. There were a lot of families with small children, who were upset to be awake. The parking was very limited, and it was a little difficult to get in and out.

This location, at Stonecrest Shopping Center off of Rea Rd, it my go-​to for my Target needs. This is a popular shopping center, with an odd 4-​way stop right at main entrance, but don’t let that slow you down (well, do stop, but don’t give up and go away!).
This large Target has anything and everything you need. I find that prices are usually well marked, and if not there are several electronic price checkers throughout the store. At the entrance, you will find customer service, which when returning things I have never had much of a wait at all. Just past customer service is a small Target café — drinks, snacks and the like. And just past that is a small Starbucks — YAY! The pumpkin spice lattes certainly help during the Christmas shopping season.
I find the store to be well laid out and well stocked. I can get almost all of my household needs here, along with clothing and now they have an expanded grocery section thanks to a remodel a few years ago. The employees are helpful, checkout is relatively painless (all things considered) and it’s always a clean store. Great job, Target!

What I love most about this location is the variety!
I’m a huge fan of shopping for fun and different clothes at Target and this location always offers a wide variety of sizes and selections for me to choose from! They seem to flawlessly transition different styles in without making the options seem cluttered or unorganized. The shoe selection is great too… I can often find my size which is really hard to do at other locations. And I must say that have an amazing clearance section.
The same is true for the rest of the store, great choices and plenty of it! Another thing I really like about this location are the associates! They really make sure they are available if you need something! Often, I’ll just be strolling up and down the aisles and associates will ask me if I need any help finding anything! That is great customer service!

Love this location! I’ll be back often!

OK, I’m an Icee addict and this is one of the few places I can go for a fix in the Ballantyne area. (Marathon Gas on JJDelaney has them too, but their machines are hit-​and-​miss.)
I know, it’s a hassle getting in and out of the StoneCrest parking lot; but, what are you going to do? I’m a middle-​aged Slurpee fan. (If you don’t know what that, a Slurpee, is, you’re likely under 40 and have never been to an 7 – 11).
I frequently slip by on the sly for a cherry /​coke blend.
We get most of our prescriptions filled there too and I’ve always found the Rx Staff to be very nice, if not a bit overworked.
It’s not unusual for somewhat of a wait, which I’ve always wondered whether that is an intentional marketing technique. I somehow end up buying something I don’t need from the home & garden center.
Wish they had an automated blood pressure machine nearby, as that’s always fun and a good way to burn some time.
Nice staff. They have a LOT of checkouts; but, at times it would help to open up more of them to speed up the process. Decent place also for the back-​to-​school items.
GREAT place to go if you have to buy an 8yr old boy a present, especially ones whom dig baseball or PokeMon cards.. .or whatever is popular now. (Ask your kid, they’ll know).

Would you believe I used to come to this Target when it first opened… and since it was new, no one knew about it so you could get in and out of the store and the parking lot with ease. My, how things have changed. I think this store has morphed into one of the busiest in the Charlotte area.
This store, while the general design is the same as other Target stores, it seems things aren’t placed in the same area as other stores. For example Toothpaste… was close to the checkouts where in the store at Metropolitan it’s closer to the grocery items. Also finding specialty batteries in this store was like a scavenger hunt.
The checkouts were very busy here and there didn’t seem to be enough registers open. I had 4 items and the express line was taking customers with more than the specified quantity of items. And here’s my biggest gripe about Target… no self-​checkouts. I could have gotten out of here faster if there were a combination of self-​checkouts and express lines. Come on Target, get with the program!

I generally shop at Wal-​Mart when I need stuff. But I’ve started to notice that the stores just aren’t as nice as they used to be. And they certainly aren’t as nice when you’re not in the Bentonville area. So here in Charlotte, I’ve been sampling the area Target stores and I’m pleased.
This shop is well lit and very clean. Smooth tiling, the carts are plentiful at the door and the one I took didn’t have that one whacky wheel. Very wide aisles make it a very pleasant shopping experience.
Most Targets are laid out about the same and this one was no different. The personal care and cosmetic sections are well shelved and stocked and prices are very easy to find. Clothing, home, office, auto, sports, furnishings, bedroom, bathroom, all just fab! Perhaps a little more expensive than Wal-​Mart prices, but I think the difference is worth it for a better shopping experience.
One of my favorite things that they do at Target is that the associates (do they call them that?) all have a walkie-​talkie. So instead of the incessant mumbled overhead pages at some stores («Manager to the front!»), it makes for a much more pleasant experience.
I really liked this Target and I’ll shop here again.

My closest neighborhood Tar-​jay has recently added a full grocery section even though this store is not large enough to be a Super-​Target. In any case, I am pleased because now if I happen to be at Target, I can also pick up a few necessary grocery items without having to make another stop at HT or Trader Joes on the way home. Plus, when I am looking for a quick microwave meal to take to the office, they have Kashi frozen meals at much better prices than I would pay at other stores. As a nice bonus, if this Target happens to be out of something I wan, I can drive about a mile or so down Rea Road and check out the Blakeney Target!

I am such a big fan of Target & I love living between the two Targets on Rea rd. Between the two, I like the Target Far South better. For most people coming into this Target, you will encounter a four way stop sign. I am perfectly capable of handling a four-​way stop, but 85% of people are not.
When I do my shopping and I am trying to decide which Target to go to, I will come to this one to be quick, but it I am really looking for something I head to Blakeney. The selection here appears to smaller or picked over. Still a great Target, but when there is less than two miles separating the two… the choice is easy.

This is a pretty busy Target location. The store is well kept for having a lot of traffic come through it. It is Stonecrest afterall…
The one thing that prevented me from giving more stars is the actual Stonecrest Parking lot. It can be a nightmare coming out of there most times. It’s probably due to all the Charlotte transplanted people from different parts of the country (resulting in different driving styles)… but I swear 4-​way stop intersections are pretty much everywhere… people are either too nice and just sit there or way too aggressive and you see your life flash before your eyes after braving the Target crowd.
They have gotten better about keeping registers open so that the lines aren’t ridiculous.

I love this Target! Has an amazing dollar section for teachers!
