About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Target's lights were off and most customers had gone home, a young boy would often hear strange whispers coming from the aisles. One day, while exploring after hours, he noticed that the toy section seemed to rearrange itself just as he watched. Finally, one evening, his curious friend joined him, and together they found an old sign reading ‘Toy Section Closed for Renovations.’ They laughed, realizing it was just the store’s way of playing tricks on late-night explorers. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen any unusual activity in Target, they’d wink knowingly and whisper, ‘Just another Target prank!’

2. At night, when the Target's lights were off and most customers had gone home, a strange humming sound started coming from one of the aisles. A delivery driver passing by swore it got louder every time he drove past. Curious, the delivery driver followed the noise deeper into the store. Finally, he found an open box of vacuum cleaners whispering softly in unison. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the note on the door: ‘Target temporarily closed for deep cleaning.’

3. At night, when the Target’s cash registers fell silent, a delivery driver noticed something odd in an empty aisle. Among boxes of cereal and stacks of toilet paper sat a lone umbrella—completely out of season. Curious, he picked it up and saw a small note attached: ‘For your unexpected rainy day.’ Turns out, it was left there by a regular who always shopped here on rainy days but hadn’t been seen for weeks. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe Target had its own secret way of looking after its customers.

4. At night, when the Target’s parking lot was emptying out, a delivery driver noticed an oddly familiar shopping cart rolling down the aisle. Curious, he followed it until it stopped in front of the toy section. The driver leaned closer and saw that the cart was filled with toys—all wrapped neatly for Christmas. Smiling, he picked up one of the boxes and read aloud: ‘To A Regular Who Deserves Joy.’ Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with Santa Claus, who winked and said, “Merry early Christmas!”
