About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Saturday morning at Target when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded boxes near the entrance, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from inside one of the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old shopping cart, rocking gently back and forth. Inside sat a small teddy bear, its eyes twinkling mischievously. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking it must be a prank by some neighborhood kid. Later that day, while restocking shelves, he overheard another employee saying, 'That Target really knows how to keep things interesting!'

2. A regular was pushing his cart down the cereal aisle when he spotted something unusual—a bag of chips labeled ‘World’s Spiciest’ that seemed suspiciously calm and unopened. He picked it up curiously, took a sniff—nothing. Then, as if in slow motion, the entire shelf erupted into laughter so loud and contagious that even the delivery driver outside joined in. Turns out someone had accidentally switched the sign with a bag of ‘World’s Funniest Jokes.’

3. On a particularly foggy Sunday afternoon at Target, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something odd—an old lady was wheeling a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty boxes. The delivery driver approached curiously and asked what she needed. With a twinkle in her eye, the lady replied, 'Just checking if these items are still on sale!' Turns out, it was just an elderly shopper who liked to do some light exercise while browsing. As she pushed off, a nearby neighbor called out, ‘Hey, Grandma, don’t forget to check the clearance section!’

4. On a typically bustling Friday night at Target, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and found the doors mysteriously locked. As he fumbled with his keys, he heard a soft humming from inside. Curious, he followed the sound to an empty aisle, where a small light was flickering on a shelf. It turned out to be a singing Christmas ornament—a regular prankster among employees. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking of a neighbor who loved such practical jokes. That night, Target’s quiet aisles were punctuated not by alarms but by merry holiday tunes.
