Target

I never understood the appeal of Target, it feels like a Walmart with fancy wrapping paper and a Starbucks. Products seem slightly less «cheap» but you still get they lovely stale popcorn smell inside that I thought only Hills could provide (RIP). The only real reason to come to this store is to stop at Starbucks as it is more convenient than the other locations on McKnight depending on time of day.
My purchases at this store are typically bluray releases as I’m a fan of their exclusive steelbook releases. HOWEVER, they have the worst customer service at this location and will not help you in regards to their website. Last return I tried to make they spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to refund me the correct amount. So, if you have a problem with an online order, good luck getting the problem addressed at the store outside of returning it.
My wife picked up some household items with gift cards from this store when we moved into our new home and they’ve all since been thrown away: a shower mirror that was anything but «fog free» as advertised, towels that didn’t hold up in the washing machine, and laundry baskets that the wood brackets broke.
Long story short, for everything they offer — groceries, home goods, electronics, clothing, etc, there is always a better option in my opinion. And for the record, this is the second time posting this review as someone flagged it the first time around.

I personally really enjoy going to Target they have a good selection of everything. My visit last night has left me pretty irritated with the store. I went to get a tablet that was advertised on sale; thd electronics department didn’t have it so I had to go to the Target Mobile area at the front of the store. The woman working in this area was the worst! She didn’t want to help anyone since she was still on her «lunch break» and there were 4 people waiting for her help. This woman was extremely unpleasant and made me just want to leave. I’m disappointed that Target would hire someone with that attitude.

Target or Targét as I like to refer to it as, holds a special place in my heart. I prefer this location over East Liberty and Waterfront. It was less crowded and didn’t feel picked over. I took my time perusing as I normally do and all the target employees were accommodating as the store has a different setup than what I’m used to. They had everything I wanted which is rare for me at most targets. Example: All of the flavors of Kombucha were there. And wouldn’t you know it my favorite gelato Talenti was on sale!!! I was one happy girl. I shop with a purpose. I use cartwheel, mobile coupons, and I have a red card. I was checking out and the cashier Marco was very enthusiastic and upbeat! He was welcoming and made all customers feel that their patronage was valued. It was good to see someone who didn’t have an attitude at work and was still smiling. Keep up the awesome atmosphere!

The staff is terrible. I overheard 2 associates talking very catty and condescending about another associate. I looked at their name tags so I could speak to someone about it. When I asked who the manager was and they said her name (Kaitlin), it was one of the «associates» that I overhead. That was incredibly unprofessional. I won’t be shopping at this location ever again.

Average Target. I’m used to the one in East Lib but I was out this way and needed something. My item was easy to find and while the selection wasnt the best, i did end up finding what i needed. They have a Starbucks but I didnt notice a pizza hut. I personally love Target so its a win in my book.

I love Target! I especially love all the Home Décor items they have! There’s a lot of new things at Target right now for the house. If you need home decorating accesories for the house, but don’t have a big budget then Target is the place for you! I was just there and I love all the new frames they have, I liked so many I couldn’t decide on which ones to buy, I’ll have to go back for sure, soon! I love all the pillows they have too! They now stock some Nate Berkus things for the home, he’s a famous Home Interior Designer! I was excited to see «Young House Love» has some things in the store now, a young couple started a blog thats mostly about home decorating and remodeling freaturing there home, they wrote a book, and now there in Target!

This Target is in the middle of a remodel… already. I’m not sure why as it just opened a few years ago. So I’m sure once the remodel is done, my opinion may change about this place. They are changing where everything is. I was looking for pet supplies and it was tucked in with the baby supplies. When I say tucked, I mean that. The aisles of moved areas are now a quarter of the size it use to be.
I’m sure I’ll be back, but only after the remodel.

The best place to shop for nearly anything. This one is especially great because it’s MY Target. Closest to home, I know where everything is, and it’s never so crowded that I want to gouge my eyes out (heeey, Walmart). Parking isn’t the greatest because of it’s strip mall location, can seem a little congested regardless of how busy the actual store is. Prices are the same low prices you’ve come to expect with this chain and the quality of goods is great. It’s a nice place to shop. Dare I even say kind of fun? I can’t really think of anything they don’t sell at Target. And if Target doesn’t carry it, chances are I probably don’t need it anyway!

I can’t get down with Target. I find the red theme of the store to be obnoxious and the juniors clothes to be over priced. On my last visit I stopped in to buy a wallet. The wallet was tiny but cute but still cost me $ 10.00. I find Target’s price point to be a little too high for what I am willing to pay. I only shop here if someone gives me a gift card to the store.

Love this Target. The one thats by me is the new one in East Liberty or East End or Shadyside west, What ever the name for that area is now. Anyways this Target is so much nicer to shop in. And there star bucks is really nice as well. I sadly go out of my way to go to this Target when I can, even though I have a Target located 5 minutes from where I live.

While everyone else is fawning and gushing over the «two story» Target in East Liberty, I still believe that this Target is the best one in the Pittsburgh area.
I have recently moved closer to the Target in E. Liberty and have had the chance to really compare the two Targets as far as selection and service. The McKnight location OWNS. I needed some storage for my large shoe collection and random collection of odds and ends that, like Rachel C., I’ve picked up from their $ 1 section hehe. ;) All of the locations I visited around town would have two or three of the options represented on their website, which greatly disappointed me as there were others online that I wanted to check out. Lo and behold, on a random stroll into the McKnight collection, they were pretty much all there! Selection: McKnight wins.
As far as service, a lot of people tout this particular trait of all Targets and I did before I moved to Pittsburgh. The McKnight location is the only one where I have felt that every employee, from the cashiers to the Starbucks baristas to the floor workers, are very nice and helpful. I have seriously never had a bad trip to this Target. Service: McKnight wins!
Corniness aside, the only pain for me with this Target prior to my move was how much the drive to it sucked (I hate driving in N. Hills lol), which is not a real mark against them. Now I have discovered a much easier and quicker route and I love hitting this location up, even if I don’t actually need anything. Which is a really terrible idea, actually.

My one true love! True love in the form of a nonhuman being. I think I would make someone angry if I didn’t specify…
I love you Target for your $ 1 buys that I don’t need. Sparkly pens, why not! Mini votive candle holders that I already have a million of, pile it in the basket!
I literally talk myself out of stopping by a Target if I’m within the vicinity of one. I may even have Target-dar…those are some special powers, let me tell you!
I love the clothes because they fit my curvy girl body type. I do tend to avoid the juniors section as they tend to run on the small side, but the Merona brand dresses fit like a glove! Juniors would fit like a scandalous glove. The prices can vary. Sometimes you can grab a great deal off the discount racks. Other times I’ll drop $ 40 for a dress because I love the fit and I know I’ll wear it for a while. When in reality there’d be no way I’d spend $ 40 for a dress at Forever 21!
The shoe selections are usually always great because they knock off Steven Madden designs quite often, plus they’re half the price… score!
My whole house could replicate a Target home section. I think there’s a lot of outrageously priced home stores out there and Target is by far the most affordable. Plus the décor is just fun and hip!
The one thing I wish they would bring to Pittsburgh is a Super Target’. I’ve been to one in Florida, so I know they exist! I’ve noticed they’ve been adding onto their food selections little by little, but there’s still no fresh meat and produce sections. I still love you Target, don’t worry!
So if you ever need to find me outside of work hours, you know where to look…
