Target

I prefer city Targets to the sprawling stores. Primarily, indoor/​validated parking is significantly better than the outdoor option at the big ones, where one has to sprint like a Kenyon to not hold up the crazy traffic. So, free parking that is inside of a ramp is the primary pro. I also get very good deals here on the clearance shelves, always stocked with fun stuff.
The big turd for this store is the pharmacy, which I find myself frustrated with about half of the time. Sometimes, they send a text stating something is ready and then it is not. Another time, they gave me an antibiotic and didn’t forewarn me to make sure to take an antibiotic with it (boo to my dentist also for not forewarning). And every, stinkin’ time I don’t have refills left and choose the option for them to call it in, my doctor always receives it/​sends the approval and it gets lost somewhere in the Target Pharmacy system the majority of the time. I also dislike how they make you announce your birthdate when they could just as easily check an ID. The only reason to go to this pharmacy previously was for an occasional 5% off coupon, good in the store. Now, that they’re acquired by CVS and this coupon is no more, I’m gonna send my scripts elsewhere (mail order)…or get them at Lunds in NE, where parking is also free and inside a ramp.
So, thumbs up for the store/​content and thumbs down for the pharmacy.

I love this Target. The security guys are pretty cute, and they carry a tea I can’t find most places around here. Employees are always friendly, which is amazing because they see a ton of people – and a ton of different types of people – every day. I’d hate it.
I also use the pharmacy. I have a medication that pharmacies sometimes run out of, but I haven’t had that issue here. Right next to the pharmacy are the very sizable makeup and women’s clothing sections – I feel like we have a better selection of clothing here than other Targets. Isn’t it the corporate one, or something? (Speaking of which, avoid going at noon on weekdays when all the corporate people are on lunch. It’s so busy and they truly do not care about regular people shopping there. I see your lil lanyards! I know why you think it’s OK to cut in line!)
So yeah, a perfectly good Target for the downtown Minneapolis resident. Mary Tyler Moore would have loved the place.
Not sure what’s with the vitriol about the size or how it caters to an urban population that only wants to take home one bag of things. We live in a city, no?

This Target can be a little rough around the edges as it is the downtown location. However, I like that its convenient to the Skyway and its two levels. They also have a Starbucks and have a large variety of merchandise. They do have a food section however this isn’t a «Super» Target so do not expect a wide variety of produce and specialty items. If you spend more than $ 20 you can also get your parking validated in the garage at the register.

If I could rate this 0 stars I would!
After calling target a 1pm to get a prescription filled the lady said it would take thirty minutes to fill it and to come right over. I waited until 4pm so it would be a fast transaction. I get to target pharmacy to pick up my prescription at 4pm and the guy proceeds to tell me they haven’t gotten approval for my insurance to fill it!
Three hours had passed and no one from the pharmacy called to inform me of this issue, where I could have gotten this figured out before I headed over.
He then tells me they can make a few calls and get it taken care of. After waiting another hour it’s now 5pm when they have filled my prescription. The guy hands me the package in a red bag and I’m finally done, which I thought!
I get back to work and take out the prescription and its wrong! At this point I’m Sm highly upset because I have essentially been waiting since 1pm for this prescription to be filled. I call the pharmacy back and ask to speak to a manager whom I then start speaking to heather! Telling her about how I’ve waited 4.5 hours for a prescription and the inconvenience of me receiving the wrong one.
Heather goes on to tell me that what they gave me is a generic form and they are required to give generics when doctors send over prescriptions. Which is pure BS! I have been on the same prescription for years and have never been told such a lie. My doctor sends over a specific because my body is sensitive and this is what Heather tells me. I then tell her I would like to come in a exchange for the correct birth control and she argues me down about my insurance not covering it and that she can’t reissue another one. Also, saying that she recommends I just give it a try! At this point I’m pissed because Heather is not my doctor and should not be suggesting I give something a try.
I figured out my own solution, which resulted in me getting the right prescription that my insurance STILL covers!
This target pharmacy needs new management. I can’t believe I was treated in such a way as if my prescription that i put into my body doesn’t matter. Heather did not listen to my words and had no empathy for for the entire ridiculous situation. I have concluded I will NEVER use Target Pharmacy ever again! There is no sense urgency, lack of communication and they are not efficient at all.

One thing leads to another and next thing you know you’ve spent more than intended. Such is the way and pull off target. I’m this locations regular shopper since it’s right by the st Thomas campus. This location also has more new trends and business office attire being downtown. You’ll see a bunch of target employees and analysts here since corporate is right around the corner. Overall I like this one because it’s cleaner and well stocked compared to others. Only downside is the higher taxes since you’re in downtown.

Bad experience with customer care. I have excellent credit and they would only give me a $ 200 credit limit in 2008. Years later they would still not increase it. My credit report said that the low limit negatively affects my credit in 2015. Target call center was over seas and hard to understand people!!!

Very clean, well-​kept store. Two floors, so they always have great assortments of products and merchandise. Lots of nice sales and extensive clearance sections. I always seem to find things on my list in the clearance endcaps.
Best of all, combine my RedCard debit card with their Cartwheel app and I end up saving 10−20% on my purchases every trip.

I think this is the flagship Target store in downtown Minneapolis! It’s located fairly close to the Target Center, and Target Field, so there’s a lot of Target around downtown Minneapolis!
This is a gem of a store, not set up like your normal Targets, it’s got levels, and more stuff packed in!
Like other Super Target’s it’s got pretty much all the essentials from Food, to beer, to Cds, to Movies, to toothpaste, to dog food. Not in that order but you know those might be essentials to some people!
The staff is really nice, probably due to the corporate heads are right around the corner buying there Food, beer, Cds, Movies, toothpaste, and dog food so you best be on your toes.

Great store which offers a wide variety of grocery items. Previously, I would have to purchase snack items prior to lodging at a down town hotel. Not anymore! Target makes it convenient to stock up on snack items during a week long hotel stay. The aisles are clean and well organized. Plenty of cashiers which allows you to exit quickly at check out. Yay! I’m a fan!

Always organized and well-​staffed with friendly people. It is not the biggest Target due to its location, but it is the most convenient one for me. It can get a little crowded at the end of a work day due to all of the people flooding out from their jobs downtown to grab stuff on the way home, but this isn’t really a bad thing, just something to be aware of.

Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis with it’s own parking garage! I do appreciate that it’s a Super Target for one stop shopping. They have a full grocery store. It’s not a huge selection, but it has everything one needs (I’m no master chef, OK, but you can find fruits, veggies, and fresh meat here in addition to the frozen stuff… even if I’m only really interested in the frozen pizzas). They do tend to run out of stock occasionally on things like yogurt, but I may just be shopping at the wrong times.
They also have a pharmacy and photo center, which is pretty great. I had to print some photos for a gift, and if you have pictures to print on your phone, you can use an app to send them directly to the kiosk, customize your print, and have it ready to pick up by the time you finish your shopping!
I would highly recommend avoiding this place during lunch hour during the week as it is completely packed. The parking garage is also usually pretty full during this time of day. Judging by the abundance of suits, I’d say everyone who works at an office downtown takes their lunch break here. Other times it is perfectly manageable for shopping. Also, they do offer free parking for up to an hour during the week and 2 hours on the weekends if you make a $ 20 or greater purchase, which, I mean, it’s Target. How can you not?

We ran into this Target by accident… who would have known that there would be a Target in the middle of downtown Minneapolis?! But, what a great location! It is just a quick walk from many hotels located downtown so it’s perfect when you forget something from home or want to save a few bucks and grab snacks here instead of paying a crazy amount else where. Well done, target, well done.

This is my favorite non-​Super Target we have. I’m not a suburbanite but I love the cart escalator. *shrug* It’s cool. I like the novelty of a 2 story Target store too. I guess I’m easily amused even after growing up in the big city. The store has everything you need, not a full supermarket selection but more than basics for food, and housewares, cleaning supplies, lingerie, toys, clothes, optical, Starbucks, pharmacy, etc… It’s nice to have a store like this downtown, it’s very convenient.
They have cashiers on both levels and they have always had more than enough cashiers when I’ve been there. I’ve never had to wait behind more than one person for a cashier. That’s a much different story than the Lake St. and Richfield locations. In addition, the employees here are (almost) all very friendly. I usually have no less than 4 people ask me either how I am doing or if I’m finding everything OK. The workers in the pharmacy were superb. And unlike other Targets they had enough people working in the pharmacy to deal with the amount of customers.
The bathroom is small (at least on the main level, I don’t know if they have another one) only 3 stalls but it was clean when I was there. Cleaner than any other Target I’ve seen, in fact. And it didn’t completely reek like some others (looking at you, Lake St.).
I’ve seen some complaints about the layout but what are they supposed to do? It’s downtown, they have to go up instead of out. Yeah, you have to go upstairs for some items but at SuperTarget you have to walk the distance of 2 football fields to find some things. It all works out about the same.

Yet again, I walked over from work to purchase a generic item that every grocery store… nay, every TARGET store carries.
Yet again, you didn’t have it.
I am consistently amazed that this store has such a fine collection of Vikings jerseys, but fails to stock basic produce, such as oranges, grapefruit, green beans, etc. On my half hour lunch breaks, I love running up to the second floor to grab paper towels and soap, then back downstairs to struggle and find some semblance of basic groceries. Who designed this train wreck?
Thank you, Nicollet Target, for turning shopping into the futile scavenger hunt it was always intended to be!
Two stars because occasionally you do have a third of the items I came in for and your cashiers have the personality of the Walking Dead. But hey, at least you have the cart escalator… since, you know, most of your customers took the bus over and are only picking up essentials to fit in a single bag.

I was at the Mall of America one day on a recent trip to downtown, talking with a woman born and raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis, eliciting her help to discover all that was worth seeing and visiting in downtown during my short stay.
… Target was one of the top things on her list …
Having multiple locations near my hometown, I found it unlikely that I’d actually step inside this establishment. After perusing the raised walkways surrounded by what seemed to be ONLY Target employees, I decided to see what all the hullabaloo was about.
This Target is huge! What’s better is that there is a great deal of staff on duty to help you find anything you could possibly need. I filed through rack after rack of Clearance items, almost giddy with the amount of discount merchandise available in one area. Employees were on top of informing customers about sales and encouraged by circulating management to be sure things were neat/​tidy and that everyone’s needs were met.
After exiting through the grand entrance way, I was pleased with my visit to this establishment. I imagine it is quite a resource to those who work in downtown and visit the Nicollet Mall area on lunch break or for happy hour drinks.

I’m grateful for this Downtown Target for a few reasons, but really turned off by Target corporation as a whole. (spending 5 years working for this company I have some personal experience with the negatives.)
I would never go out of my way to shop here, but have found that shopping here for emergency wardrobe malfunction supplies, last minute, OMG I forgot the present items and lunch and office party supplies have really helped me in a bind.
What I’m happy to avoid is the lay out of this store; who ever is in charge of schematics has a malfunctioning program! The pretentiousness, eye rolling, holier-​than-​thou attitudes of the Target Corp. employees that move through the departments in packs can be really annoying!

What’s not to like about a retail store like Target in the middle of Downtown??? Since this store is basically sandwiched in the middle of Target Head Quarters they are always doing pilots for new ideas and technology. It’s basically the mother ship of the 3,000 + Target locations across the country.
Everyone is always overly nice here, I think it’s because they never know when a Big Wig Executive could be the person they are helping. This is considered a Pfresh location so they don’t have full grocery but still a pretty good selection for certain grocery items.

Whenever I travel outside of the Bay area, there are one or several items that I forget to take with me on my trip. Also some item (s) TSA officials would not allow through the airport’s security checkpoint. That would be embarrassing and costly when those probing TSA officials confiscate those items away from you. Incidents pertained to me many times in the past.
As a somewhat-​experienced traveler, none of those common aforesaid occurrences happened to me this time. I was at this Target, which is located along the outdoor Nicollet Mall and also the main corporate headquarter, to get some snacks, gallon of water, and of course compare this location to other locations.
Well, this corner two-​level location is not much different than any other nationwide locations. This looks more like the Target in Tanforan with entrances to & from some of the higher-​end businesses to the indoor mall.
Despite being located in a busy downtown area, this store has everything well stocked. There are plenty of cashiers and associates assisting you, especially at 5pm where usually the start of the busiest time of the night.

Flagship Target store, right across the street from the corporate headquarters. So I would expect it to be even nicer than the usual Targets I shop elsewhere. Not so. It’s the same. Good. Not bad, but not great.
It’s not a «Super» Target, so it has only a small grocery section with dry and frozen goods. This store is on two levels (I’ve been to one like it in Maryland) and the cart-​escalator rocks. Very clever.
Awesome to have a Target in an urban setting. For the folks who live and work in the city, it’s a great bonus to not have to go out to the suburbs to shop.

The mother of all Target stores. :)
I love, love, love the downtown location. I’ve been to a «downtown-​ish» location in Chicago too — but it would be nice to find more Targets in urban settings. It’s so convenient for travelers, business peeps, and everyone else who’s downtown.
I was totally surprised at HOW MUCH more of the discounted Holiday items that this location had than others.
Their Electronics dept seemed a little «light»… but overall i love this location. Besides, it’s so much fun to watch your cart ride the «cart escalator».
