Target

Guest Services is the heart of this store.
Great workers and great attitude my favorite would probably have to be derrick I love his personality.

Your typical target department store with their usual selections.
Nothing special but it is conveniently located if you live in the area. Prices are ok, not as cheap as Walmart and the quality isn’t any better.
Good if you need to grab something quick or even for some groceries. The plus is that they do have a mini Pizza Hut and Starbucks inside

Not a good experience. shelves a mess, out of lots of items, but the worst experience was check out. At least 10 – 15 customers in every line. and the cashiers could not have been slower. Won’t return to this Target.

Walking in this store feels like a dirty trick when compared with the targets I used to in southern nj. The ones there are generally well stocked and rarely have lines. There is a typical long wait when checking out and I have found on several occasions the one item I specifically went to the store for was out of stock. However, the shining star of this store is the staff. The individuals I have encountered have always been very helpful. I believe the issues with this store lay with a poor design of the checkout area and an inability to have the checkout lanes properly staffed.

I’ve been a faithful Target shopper for 20+ years. The electronics/​music/​movie department in the JC store is literally the worst I’ve ever seen. The employees are rude and unhelpful. Items are never in stock – even when new releases and in the weekly flyer. They literally dont want your money even if you’re looking to buy. Do yourself a favor and go to any other store if you are looking for media or electronics items. Highly disappointing…

Two months later and still the worst. Nothing in stock or available in electronics. But every other target store has what this one cant put on the shelves!?! Worthless.

Second experience (and not that it is Target’s fault): walked out of the store and saw a young kid pissing just beyond the automatic doors, with his parents watching on and doing nothing to scold him. Deplorable!
Pleasant shopping!

I walked in the door, and there were no carts. The parking lot was about half empty, so it seemed odd. I waited awhile and tried 4 or 5 carts with square wheels that made a big racket, before a departing customer passed me one. Carts were left all over the parking lot, and all over the store. Hundreds of them. Blocking aisles, some being used by employees for restocking, some just abandoned.
Pricing and merchandising at this store are in an awful state, every time I visit. The staff at the store have to constantly deal with confused and angry customers who picked up incorrectly priced merchandise, or who cannot determine the actual price of merchandise. See my series of «Guess the Price!» pictures for details. I am surprised with every visit. For the record, it’s high. WAY higher than anywhere else I shop. They are also out of one or two items on my list every time I visit.
Lines at the register are always too long, and few registers are open.
This experience is awful, and not up to Target’s standards. For a national chain to have problems is inexcusable — they have standards and practices to control for problems like these. They are simply being ignored, unenforced, or not complied with.

I do enjoy this store but I’ve dropped my rating. The last couple of times there the check out has horrible. The continental plates move faster and more than once I’ve waited in a long line to have the check out girl randomly announce she was closed.
We usually go early which means less lines. Well, at this store it also means only one checkout is open. So we end up waiting forever anyway.
Also the sales associates are starting to go downhill. Went through 5 people looking for something. Two had no idea what I was saying. One just said no and walked away. One tried to help by contacting the section manager. The manager blew her and me off on the walkie. Guess he didn’t realized I could hear him as. Yay.

Horrible customer service. Employees are rude, nasty, and INCONVENIENCED by customers. Skip this Target and go to the one in Edgewater, NJ instead.

Although JC isn’t quite as suburban as where I grew up or quite as urban as my old NYC digs, it’s spots like Target that make me appreciate living in a place that’s a hybrid suburb /​city.
I probably come in once every week or so to pick up a random item, which usually turns into like 10+ items…#targetprobs… But fo’real, I just can’t help it!
This target is really clean and well organized and actually feels much larger then other Targets that I’ve been to before. They’ve got a full supermarket section in the back that even has fresh meat and produce.
If you can avoid coming on the weekends you absolutely should… it is always a madhouse. I’m talking like 20 minute line for almost every register. In my opinion they could have a few more registers open too, I feel like half of the are always closed here!
Long lines aside, I’ve got mad love for Target. I missed it terribly while I was city living and I’m happy to have it back in my weekly routine!

Things have not changed with this Target location. Employees have ZERO sense of urgency. 3 check lanes were open, 1 person at guest services. Long lines all around. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Went today and was in line waiting for a good 20 – 30 mins in line dude to the lack of cashiers. The Starbucks in side of target don’t even. Trash all over the floor and chairs pulled out to the aisle. Definitely understaffed.
WORST TARGET EXPERIENCE EVER

Words can not express how filthy this location is, but I will try…
The Starbuck’s has bugs climbing in the cases with the food displays. I spoke to a manager (Adrian) who laughed and said «Oh yes, yes, yes. We know about that». He said there was not thing that they could do. I find that hard to believe and I’m betting the Jersey City Health Department would too.
The dressing rooms are equally as filthy. The floors should NOT have any carpeting as it looks as if there are probably bugs living there as well. Ever hear of a vacuum? Carpet cleaner? Or better yet, rip it up and use tile that someone can clean with a mop. Although I doubt that anyone would as is evidenced by the rest of the store. The corners of every area are dingy, dark and have a layer of filth that is nauseating.
This Target also has a supermarket-​like food section, but you could not pay me enough money to purchase anything, even packaged, after seeing the above. I am itchy just typing this and will now go to take a good long shower!

This is a good Target store. Better than the one in North Bergen. We live in Hoboken and drive here about twice a month. Sure, it’s not as big as the one further out in the burbs but what do you expect? If you think big box retail is the greatest thing in the world, you shouldn’t be living in Hoboken or Jersey City.

Only three registers open at 5:30 on a Friday. This store sucks. No carts inside ever. They are always scattered around the parking lot and on a rainy day all are wet and they do not supply paper towels to dry them off.
Employees wander around the store doing nothing and there is no one working registers.

It’s a Target that is open till midnight during the week. Good if you have some late night urge to shop, especially since they also sell groceries.
However, the staff is pretty useless. I ordered something online and arranged to pick it up at the store. I used my common name on the order, which happens to be my middle name.
Even though my driver’s license had my middle initial, last name, and matching address, and even though I had the email with the order number, and even though I had the original method of payment, the lady at the customer service register refused to give me my order. Talk about a waste of time and a lack of common sense.
It’s hard to fault an entire store for one experience, which is why I gave this Target a 3. Make sure you bring your birth certificate and a sworn affidavit if you ever pick up an online order, though.

Warning — both my husband and I have experienced credit card fraud directly after using our cards at this location. I have experienced it one time and he is now dealing with it a second time (hence my motivation to write this review immediately).
If you have no other choice but to use this location I would urge you to pay in cash.
They have a decent selection, less than average sales help, and generally have the store stocked, though they are never fully stocked.
I really wish they did not have so many issues with fraud and could up their game in the service department. It is so convenient to where I live.

Great for Playdates on rainy days. My kids think it’s better than Disney!
Fun awaits on every aisle!

It’s your standard Target store and selection that allows you to buy anything and everything you’ve never needed and didn’t intend to purchase. But it’s Target, and you leave spending $ 100+ more than expected, considering you only stopped in to pick up a greeting card.
Fairly clean and good selection of such and stuff. I don’t buy any of their produce and would rather drive thirty seconds to A&P around the corner to pick some up.

UPDATE:
They just lost a star because of their awful customer service. Umm how about you NOT be rude to your customers?

This is my go to Target store for my one stop shopping experience. As an added bonus there is a Starbucks right inside for either getting a nice drink on the way in, way out, or sometimes both, depending how long I spend inside as I end up getting many more things that were not on my shopping list.
They have a huge parking lot so you are always guaranteed a spot, there is two entrances so either side you park you will be close to one of them.
The produce and meat is fairly decent here, although they tend to run out quick. Over the past few years they added lots of healthy items so my trips to whole foods and trader joes are much less now. I get milk and eggs here too and prices for a lot of items are hard to beat elsewhere. The deli selection and section is not great but if in a pinch it can do. Also they could have had better bread and water selection, its tough to find a sparkling water that isnt flavored with something.
For big ticket items there is the 3.5% sales tax here which can add up to significant savings.
Shelves here are well stocked and things are organized and not cramped together as I find in some other Target stores. I prefer this one to a lot of others in the nearby areas.
