TargetExpress – San Francisco

What’s the matter with people? This is a city target, you expected it to be huge with a grand selection? Plus there’s a CVS and Walgreens right next door, how much more selection do you want? If target doesn’t have it pop across the street! I’m stoked to have a place to buy clothes and basic groceries in my neighborhood. Plus it’s clean friendly and there’s a parking lot, however small. Well done Target!

The new Target employees have gone out of their way to be helpful. I have been in there at least once a week since they opened and all of the employees I have contacted have been remarkable. Hats off to the pharmacy staff, especially Joe, who goes the extra mile for my prescriptions for my sick dog.
The store is neat and clean and the check out clerks are speedy. Also, I have not had a problem parking, but I go midday during the week. Thank you target for opening in our neighborhood!

It is such a small location. Reminds me of a Walgreens.
Starbucks baristas here are on their phones while customers are present. Really? You have no shame. Cannot comment on their customer service I bet they’re nice people.

bough an ello bottle here which was placed in the wrong location. at the time of my purchase i dint know that it was misplace because the row of ello bottles were fully stoked so with common sense i just though it was correct.
when i went to the cashier to check out i saw the price difference and when i told the cashier that i saw the bottle placed with a different pice she immideitly said no its $ 14.99 and said to me i was wrong. she gave me an upset look while i tried to explain to her whet i saw and suggested her to go check it out (because she clearly gave me the lier look).
so much for customer service

By far the worst Target in the planet. Parking garage is really small and traffic because its being shared by the gym next door. There isn’t much of a baby section tiny don’t waste your time going to this if your in need of stocking baby food.
I wouldn’t come back.

I came in here to get some new lenses and were thrilled that they were able to put the lenses in these vintage glasses. The young lady who was helping me was more than professional. She went above and beyond as I am kind of picky with making sure they fit snug. overall my experience here was very well please.

This has to be the worst Target I’ve ever been to. It is the size of a 7 – 11. I don’t understand why this opened when there is a CVS and Walgreens within a few blocks that carry the same things. What a disappointment. Do not go here expecting to find the same selection as a REAL Target or even a City Target.

Smallest target I have ever seen! There’s not much inside. I will still drive all the way to Daly City for a Target run

When I first saw the Target sign at this location I wasn’t sure what to think. How could a target fit in such a tiny place? However, they did it! This city target has all of the sections of a regular target… Just the essentials though. And every section is pretty small, so don’t expect to find too much variation of anything.
I like having Target in this area because it makes it easier to pick up something rather than going to CVS or Walgreens where items can get expensive. Target is a lot more affordable.
Only bad thing is that parking can be very difficult with 24 hour fitness next door… You can either find metered parking spots or maybe a residential street parking spot!

I don’t know why I expected this Target to be just like every other one in the Bay Area. It’s small and should be considered a Target Express for its size and lack of variety. I only went in quickly to buy a new laundry bin for my apartment, but in that brief amount of time I was able to quickly scan the whole store. Every section was so small. I guess that should be expected though as it is located on the corner of a busy street (Ocean Ave) right across from CVS pharmacy.
I think it’s pretty cool having this Target around the area, but I’d rather go to Colma or Serramonte since they have much more of a selection and are both so much bigger. You don’t have worry about parking for this Target, they share a parking lot with 24 Hour Fitness and have reserved parking spots that read ‘Target Parking Only’. Also, they have a Starbucks inside!

The former Rite Aid space has finally been revitalized into a Target. This store sat empty for many years with the original plan for a Fresh and Easy, but that plan do not go through due to the downsizing of the chain. First thing you see upon entering is a Starbucks which was a bit odd for the neighborhood, since Ingleside is dominated by local coffee shops. To the left side are the registers and self checkout machines that only takes card only. They have fresh groceries and food, and a pharmacy in the back left side. On the back right side consists of electronics and home goods. This location has a very good selection of goods where you would not find in the neighboring drugstores. The main reason this location was opened was due to the lack of affordable grocery stores on Ocean and they cater to the middle class families in the Ingleside neighborhood. The service here is nice and friendly, but I can tell they are a bit short staffed and had Starbucks baristas working around the store. I was actually helped by the security guard at the register which was a bit weird. They also do free in store pickup for those who want products that you would find at the bigger Target store or on
. They will also price match
for the items they sell here. As for the selection of products, I think they emphasize on groceries over a regular Target with big selections of goods. I can really see that certain departments will eventually become eliminated, such as the electronics and housewares, as they will not sell in this neighborhood. Parking is limited here compared to a typical Target store, would recommend public transportation or walking. The parking lot is shared with 24 Hour Fitness. Overall a good addition to the neighborhood. I remember back in the 90s when this was actually a Safeway, and the Ingleside has lacked a functioning grocery store that served the neighborhoods needs.

Super small selection even for brown sugar due to limited shelf space and real estate.

The new Target has a Starbucks! Finally there’s one in the neighborhood. The inside is really clean and everything looks nice. There’s a large selection of grocery items to buy, a small selection of clothing, a medium pharmacy, and a medium selection of electronics.

This Target appears to be designed for the local neighborhood with groceries and household items. It almost had a feel of a big grocery store than a Target I’m familiar with.
There’s a very small section for electronics but no DVDs or CDs as most people will either stream the media or view online.
We walked in and walked out emptied handed. There is a parking garage which is a big plus.

I usually go to the Colma target and was expecting a little more from this one. In a nutshell, it is not even close to being a full service Target like in Colma.
It is like a Walgreens with a Target sign instead on the outside.
If you shop here just know they have the same things as Walgreens with a few exceptions.
I plan on just going to the Colma store instead of this one but it is not bad for what it is.

Yes, finally a TARGET in the area.
Checked out this new location today and I must say that this place is perfect!
A decent store even though it is fairly small.
There is a Starbucks located right at the front entrance. The registers are to your left as you enter. There is a small food area as you make your way straight to the back. The comes the clothes. After that there is a small electronics sections.
Overall, not over the top with what they have been comparable to nothing else in the area. Good place to get socks and undershirts.
Applying for a TARGET card just got put on the top of my list.
Also, they are HIRING RIGHT NOW!

This small Target is filled with friendly employees and well organized products. It’s fun to be at and the Starbucks certainly adds to the environment.
It would be great if they had a modest section of new release movies, music, and video games.
This Target (formerly Express) is a great addition to Ocean Avenue!

Yes, I’m so happy they opened a Target a few blocks from my home! It’s a smaller location but don’t let size fool you. They’ve fit every single department into this location with some fresh produce and groceries as well. There’s also parking in the garage and a Starbucks.

As usual with any new store everything is clean. I wasn’t expecting them to have so much with the amount of space they have.
Store associates were friendly and ready to help. I liked that the Starbucks folks were walking around handing out samples.
If I really had to put one down side to this place is that they don’t have public restrooms. Kinda a little inconvenient if you have a small child and you are shopping and they have to go.
Good variety of frozen food and dry food.
Check out there alcohol section they have a super variety. (No I’m not a drunk) but it’s convenient that they do and saves a trip to Safeway. Because those who live in the neighborhood know whole foods ain’t got nothing but some wines and imported beer.
They even have Apple watches available and the newest iPhone 6s in rose gold ;)
Thank goodness something good is in the neighborhood.

This Target is the best thing to happen to the neighborhood since Whole Foods!
While this Target is small, it has a better inventory and is much more hip than the drab CVS across the street. Great selection of booze, beer and wine along with the usual Target grocery and pharmacy goods.
