About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through aisles, an announcement crackled over the store’s PA: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our weekly shipment of lucky charms. But there’s a twist: every fifth box contains a free shopping spree worth hundreds!’ Soon enough, people started rushing towards those magical boxes like bees to honey. A regular grabbed five in one go, only to discover he’d taken four winners and one empty box—a fate worse than no prize at all! Meanwhile, outside, a delivery driver was frantically searching for his missing lunch money, which turned out to be tucked inside one of the winning boxes. In the end, everyone left Target with a smile—and maybe even some extra groceries.

2. A neighborhood mom was rushing down the cereal aisle one Saturday morning when she noticed something strange. A box of her son's favorite breakfast treat seemed to be smiling back at her from the shelf. Curious, she bent closer and realized it wasn’t a smile—it was just an unusual design on the box. Suddenly, another shopper laughed behind her, saying, ‘Must be those new colorful shapes they’ve been testing.’ The mom relaxed, relieved that there were no supernatural cereal smiles after all. As she walked away, she overheard someone else whispering, “I wonder if Target’s next trick will be talking milk cartons.”

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Target with a truckload of frozen pizzas. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something strange: every fifth pizza seemed to be missing its cheese. Confused and slightly suspicious, he checked his manifest—everything was in order. Just as he was about to give up, a nearby neighbor walked over and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, it was just his newfound talent for making vegan pizzas without the cheese. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about ‘another day, another mystery solved.’

4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside Target with a truckload of groceries. As he unloaded boxes onto the loading dock, something glinted in the sun—a small, silver object wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he unwrapped it to reveal a vintage coin collection, complete with a note reading: ‘For your trouble.’ The delivery driver grinned, thinking someone had pranked him. Later that evening, as he was putting away his coins, his neighbor popped over and asked if he’d found any interesting treasures today. Turned out, the neighbor’s granddaughter had accidentally left her old coin collection behind when she helped with the delivery. Moral of the story? Sometimes life at Target is like a treasure hunt—just don’t expect too many gold doubloons.
