Target Stores

We like this Target because of it’s location at the beach and it’s next to Publix which is very convenient when we’re staying at our condo. There’s a huge parking lot including racks for your bike since it’s at the beach and plenty of people are cycling.
The store is huge which can be a blessing or a curse depending on your visit and time frame. It’s well laid out with everything arranged by department. men’s, woman’s, infants and kids for clothing. groceries, housewares, pets, greeting cards, toys, electronics, health and beauty, automotive and more. There’s also a Starbucks, pharmacy and pizza café inside the store. What more could you need?
You can really find anything and everything you’re looking for in one place whether you’re shopping for yourself or a gift. Can’t find what you need? No worries, get a gift card and let that special someone shop for themselves. Checkout is quick and easy and if you have the Target «Red» card you get 5% off your purchase everyday.

I love this location. I come pretty often when my wife and I are in the area and we always enjoy it. It’s always clean and when I need help (which is rare) the staff are always friendly and helpful.

This is for the pharmacy only. The man behind the counter was pleasant but that’s the only good thing I have to say. He explained to me that the pharmacist on duty (who’s name starts with J) ‘has a personal policy of not filling out of state prescriptions since there’s some paperwork involved.“
If you’re a pharmacist, shouldn’t you be concerned with people’s medication needs rather than your wrist cramping up?

Okay this is five stars for their customer service. I previously purchased 2 6 packs of dog food. I opened one of the cans and tried for three days in a row to get my dog to eat it. He obviously hated it and wouldn’t touch it. I gave him no other options so he basically chose starving over this brand. I knew they would take it back one six pack because it was unopened and I wondered about the other which was now missing I can. I explained it to them and without hesitation, they gave me a refund back to my credit card. Yay for them and for me!

The inventory control of this store is beyond bad. Too many empty shelves, product that is not replenished and basically the store looks like Kmart did when they were going out of business. Inventory is kept so low that common items are usually sold out and item not available for more than a week. I have never seen a Target like this. It is a shame that myself and many of my friends have to go to either the Super Target or Walmart on Beach Blvd.
Recently, the past two Friday nights there have been 2 check out lanes open for about 16 customers waiting to check out. The Friday before Labor day was busy yet they had two cashiers that were very frustrated by the situation and even voiced their opinion of the chaos. Someone needs to do something with this store as the management is operating as if people in Ponte Vedra and Jax Beach will continue to come there but the word is getting out and you are losing many customers.
Constantly out of inventory and not ordering enough must be good for management bonuses…

Management was NOT helpful at all when I was trying to return a window AC unit that had never been used. I didn’t ask for a refund because I did not have the receipt, I was in the middle of moving. I explained that the plug was not going to work without hiring an electrician. I thought I might use it when I moved but it was going to be an eye sore to neighbors, so I ran to Target at Marsh Landing, the same store where it was purchased, to return the unit. I was told that since it was over $ 70 and I didn’t have receipt I was «stuck with it», unless I had account number. I was a little shocked but I asked her if it was ok if I called my brother, he purchased it for me, I asked if had the account number, which he did, but the manager was gone. There was another employee standing there so I retold the story to this employee she said there was nothing she could do. I asked if she could call the manager over, I waited and the original manager finally came back over. I informed her I had the checking account number. Then she said she was not referring to checking account she was referring to whatever card was used. At this point I was completely aggravated bc I have returned items to home-​depot, lowes, Wal-​mart etc. anywhere with and without a receipt and never been treated this way. When she restated the $ 70 rule I said well I guess just give me a $ 70 credit instead of the $ 110 that was paid for the unit. She refused that as well. Refused to work with me and I am now «stuck with it!» I felt like I was being treated as if I didn’t have a right to return an item that I took time to be sure all pieces were there. She gave the impression the if I had the receipt I could return it missing parts. She never even looked in the box or anything. I will go to every store around Marsh Landing, EXCEPT Target. It is a terrible feeling to be treated like I had done something wrong.

Target is offering in-​store Wi-​Fi for use in their store while you’re shopping.
I would submit that more & more businesses should be doing this for their customers.

Target hits the mark every time. They have it all: clothes, groceries, dry goods, gifts, home goods, seasonal specials, pharmacy, and probably a few I’ve forgotten.
My husband loves the pharmacy because they offer the best prices (usually) for his prescriptions. I’ve fallen in love with their clearance rack in the women’s clothes section. Since I have the benefit of working from home, I can buy a couple tshirts and a few pairs of shorts and be good for the summer. And when the clothes wear out, I’m not too upset because I didn’t spend a ton of money on them in the first place.
The seasonal items that you run into right up front — summer hats, winter scarves, etc — are always fun to look through. Last year, I found a big floppy orange beach hat and I wear it all the time when I’m going to be at the beach or on the water. The other seasonal section in the back corner is where you’ll find school supplies, halloween costumes, or Christmas goodies.
I don’t do my regular grocery shopping as I’m in a long term relationship with the Publix down the block, but we will pick up a few things from time to time when we’re in the store. You can run into a gruff employee from time to time, but now that the dust has settled from the remodel, they’re back to their friendly selves.
