About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Target’s parking lot was empty but for one lone delivery truck, a mysterious figure emerged from behind the loading dock. The sun had barely risen, casting long shadows across the rows of shopping carts. The figure approached an abandoned shopping cart and whispered something into its handle. Suddenly, the cart started rolling towards the store entrance, followed by another, then another—an entire army of carts marching in perfect silence. Just as the delivery driver turned around, a friendly voice called out from behind him: ‘Hey, mate, you forgot your cart!’ Turned out it was just a neighbor pushing his own cart home.’

2. At midnight, when Target's aisles were deserted and only security lights illuminated the shelves, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the frozen foods section. As he peered closer, he saw a small, furry creature poking its head out from behind a box of frozen waffles. Startled, he called out, ‘Hello there!’ The creature froze for a moment before scurrying off into the shadows. Turns out it was just a neighbor’s pet raccoon who’d found a shortcut through the back entrance.

3. At dusk, when Target’s checkout lanes were nearly empty, an elderly gentleman approached the self-checkout kiosk with a puzzled look on his face. He scanned his items one by one, but kept getting an error message. A nearby employee overheard him and asked if he needed help. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'I just want to pay for these groceries without causing any trouble!' They both ended up laughing so hard that they forgot about the forgotten item in the cart—a family-sized bag of potato chips.

4. At dawn, when Target’s parking lot was empty but for one lone delivery truck, a faint humming sound echoed through the aisles. A nearby neighborhood watch member reported hearing it every morning before sunrise. Curious, the neighbor decided to investigate and found an exhausted delivery driver dozing in his car. Turned out, the humming was just the radio left on full blast. Since then, everyone jokes that Target has its own early-morning DJ.
