About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Target, where everything is supposed to be clear and straightforward, one day a regular exclaimed, ‘I just found the strangest thing in aisle seven!’ ‘It was this giant marshmallow,’ she said, ‘the size of my head! I thought it must be a joke or some kind of prank.’ Turns out, a delivery driver accidentally loaded an entire pallet of oversized marshmallows meant for a local festival. The regular ended up with free dessert for a month—from her neighbor who couldn’t resist trying them first!’

2. At Target, where shoppers usually find what they need quickly, an old lady once asked aloud, ‘Why does every self-checkout scanner always seem to pick on me?’ Just then, a delivery driver overheard her and joked, 'Ma’am, it’s because you’re the only one who tries to scan live chickens!' Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the poor woman, who blushed and muttered something about never shopping there again—until she realized how much cheaper groceries were here.

3. At Target, where shoppers often leave with exactly what they came for, a delivery driver once discovered a mysterious package in his truck. Curious neighbors later spotted him unloading strange items from the back of his van, but no one dared ask what lay inside. Finally, someone asked the driver what was hidden there. With a sheepish smile, he replied, ‘Just some extra toilet paper—we were running low.’

4. At Target, where shoppers always know their way around, a sign appeared one morning: ‘If you see something that makes no sense, it’s probably in the right place.’ Soon, customers started noticing strange things: milk on the second floor and pet food in the electronics section. But instead of complaining, they laughed and helped each other find what they needed. Even the delivery driver found his route through Target more entertaining than confusing.
