Target

For being such a small store, they always have exactly what I need and a helpful staff that’s willing to locate any items at other locations that may be out of stock at the time.
Despite quite often being crowded and busy due to the proximity to campus, the staff is consistently quick, efficient, and exceedingly friendly. Definitely my go-​to location!

This is a review of a particular cashier and not the store as a whole.
Basically, this poor excuse for a customer service provider tried to get me to do HIS job and was then indignant and passive when I declined.
He wanted me to gather a hand basket that wasn’t mine. (Clearly, since I was utilizing a full size shopping cart.)
I bought apples from the grocery dept., purposely placing them on top of another purchase, as to not have them come into contact with the dirty conveyer belt. This asshat proceeded to pick up the box the apples were on top of and just dump them onto the dirty belt. Apples bruise! If you’re going to provide produce, please instruct your employees on their proper handling.
I’ll continue to shop this location given its proximity to my home, but avoid a certain cashier’s line I will!!!

Long time shopper; first time Unilocaler. Had to communicate my wonderful experience at the Olentangy Target. While shopping today, I fell and found I could not get up. Unfortunately, this happens quite a bit. At other Target stores my cries for help are
usually ignored, but at the Olentangy store the staff is always so attentive and responsive. Today I was helped by a cashier with curly hair. Thanks everybody!

I love, love, love Target in general and this location is no different! Very clean! Well stocked! Friendly and helpful staff! The sale prices were great. Our cashier was new and slow/​unsure however everyone has to learn so we will deal with that aspect! This Target is also in a nice, small shopping complex with other great stores nearby!

I do like Target, don’t get me wrong. However, I try and avoid this location simply due to the volume of people.
As in pretty much every Target I’ve been to, this one doesn’t have much of a plus-​size section, but a good selection of home goods, electronics, etc.

Not understanding why everyone hates on this target? It’s such a convenient stop for me after work to grab some groceries or housewares before I head back home to Worthington. Not to mention, it’s super easy to get onto 315 N from the target parking lot. Oddly enough, it’s a big reason I stop here. Also, I LOVE the employees at this store. I’ve always found them helpful when I’ve asked for help and they actually try to move out of your way while they’re stocking. There is one particular cashier I just love because she’s always in such a great mood I leave with a smile on my face too. As far as organization goes, I don’t see any difference in this Target than any other one I’ve ever been in. It’s probably not as large as the one at Polaris, but I think they always have a good selection and it’s a great stop for the college kids in the area.

This seems like an older Target, but it does the job. I found everything I was looking for, and the staff was friendly. Just wish they carried wine, but there are worse crimes! Good for basics, but I prefer the Easton Target.

This is my favorite Target. They always have better stock than others. They carry a bigger selection of clothes. They have nicer carts (this seems dumb but it’s not for moms with squirmy toddlers).

Okay not sure why everyone hates this target but this was my regular target when I loved in Victorian village and I still prefer it to the Graceland target which is now my regular.
Anyway it’s clean, usually well staffed and has a good grocery section. I also really appreciate that there is a photo lab at this location!
If you simply can’t have target without Starbucks there is a Starbucks with a drive through across the street.

This Target is average at best. Some things are a little confusing to find at times and you sometimes find the same item in two different sections of the store, with different prices. The employees are generally friendly when I go.
Meanwhile, in the front of the store…
A guy got caught stealing and pulled a knife on the employee. WTF!!! Really dude… #targetlife

This Target has a nice location, but because it is in such close proximity to the OSU campus, it can be a bit different in what it carries from other Targets. It still has all of the usual sections you’d expect, clothes, shoes, toys, etc, and does include a food area that includes frozen and refrigerated options, plus some produce. However, it is affected by the different population in what it stocks and what runs out. It has a set of self check-​outs, which is a nice touch.

Best pharmacy in the OSU area. Employees very attentive and willing to help.

This Target has an abundance of snack foods– chips, cookies, snack cakes galores. but since I rarely eat processed foods and mainly just go to the grocery for meat, vegetables, and some other staples this Target just doesn’t do it for me. Their produce selection is pretty limited in quantity, not very high quality usually, and really overpriced. Their meat selection is extremely limited and pretty expensive as well compared to other nearby grocers. If you’re looking for frozen tv dinners, chips, crackers, etc. then this Target might be a decent stop, but if you want to do much grocery shopping you should really avoid it. They do have a solid selection of non-​grocery items you would expect: movies, clothes, cleaning supplies, kitchenware, etc. but this has all been pretty overpriced in my experience as well. Employees are usually slow and lines are long on the weekend!

I find this Target to be really average. It’s understaffed for the amount of business they do (has to be doing well, with close proximity to OSU). The location is nice; several other businesses are in the same strip, with ample covered and uncovered sidewalk to use.
Inside, it looks like most other places that need more/​better staffing: things understocked or out of stock, slightly disorganized, not as clean as you’d like, hard to find an employee when you need help. The store feels smaller than the one at Graceland.
Given that criticism, this Target is better than many I’ve been inside. When you do find an employee, they can help you. Their selection of office supplies and home goods is great. The new food section looks nice, but I haven’t used it yet.
I don’t go to this location often, but I don’t avoid it entirely, either.

So here it is.
The nation’s largest grossing Target!
Too bad the employees here aren’t that helpful. I straight up had a guy tell me that he didn’t know where an item I was looking for was, and that was that. He wasn’t going to offer to find someone who did know…
Also, the cashiers aren’t that friendly? No one even greets me when I’m ready to pay for my stuff. I’m ready to strike up a conversation whenever they are, but doesn’t seem like they ever want to.
This Target looks like any other Target to me. Just wish the service was better! Guess it depends on who is around when I need assistance

This target is only *slighty* classier than your average wal-​mart.
My biggest complaint was that it’s sheer size makes a specific item hard to find (in this case, reusable ice packs for a cooler). There was a lack of anyone around, and the people I did see were busy trying to walk away from customers as fast as they could.
I like the brand, just this location is not that great. Also, busiest parking lot in the world due to it’s proximity to campus.

I was all excited Sunday when I got the Sunday paper and saw a 60″ LED tv advertised for $ 699.
The excitement ended when I wen to my local Target store in Columbus Ohio on Olentangy River Rd.
i went to the electronic department to take a look at the tv for $ 699. I could not find it.
I pulled out my trusty cell phone and brought the ad up on my phone, there it was on the front page of the ad, Sharp 60″ led for $ 699.
There was a Sharp 60″ on display, but it was priced at $ 999.
A girl named Sarah happened to come by pushing a cart and asked how I was doing? I showed her the tv I was making an attempt to find,
She checked the tv on display, but it was not it.
An associate from electronics came by, and was unaware there was a tv on sale. He checked the number from the ad, and there were 5 in stock.
I asked when I could see it. He was not sure when it would be put on display, I did not want to spend $ 700, without seeing the tv.
I ended up walking away.
I decided to stop by the front desk and talk to a store manager. A gentleman came up, I showed him the ad, and asked,” When will I be able to see this on display?”. He got rude and said,” that was not his issue, «WHAT? an assistant store manager not his issue having a display of an item on the front cover???
I asked to see the store manager, so he paged a Sarah who happened to be the girl I talked to in electronics. When I asked her when I would be able to see it on display, she replied» I will have to ask the manager of the department tomorrow” WHAT? I asked if I could get a similar tv that was on display for the same price, at least I would know what I was buying, She said no.
I went out of my way to get to Target, hoping to buy the TV. borrowed a friends truck to get it home and because the Target store was very unprepared to handle a customer that wanted to buy a FRONT COVER item, went home empty handed.
VERY SAD!!!

They seemed to have lots more clothing than I’m used to seeing at Target but a lot of it was dirty. You get 20% off if you want to buy the item anyway — I took a chance on a top I really liked. Big grocery section with rows and rows of coolers. Cosmetics section was a little smaller than what I’ve seen before.

This target seemed run of the mill Super Target. Clothes, Jewelry, Electronics, Baby, Home Décor, Health and Body, Pharmacy, and a sizeable, yet underwhelming food section. I came looking for a few select items after not finding then at World market, and left after not finding them here.

What this Target offers, is it’s the only megastore (Wal-​Mart, Target, etc.) within close proximity to Ohio State’s campus. So for many people it is convenient. However, it is definitely not the best Target you’ll ever go to. It’s highly trafficked, so multiple times I’ve found the store to be out of stock for what I was looking for. (And going on move-​in day at Ohio State might sound like a good idea since it’s so close, but unfortunately thousands of people have done that before you.) It is now a «SuperTarget», or whatever the right term is to call it when it has a larger food selection. That being said, the food section will probably leave you wanting more. If you don’t have a car while you’re at Ohio State, this place will serve its purposes, but now that I have a car I don’t go here very often.
