About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Target one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every fifth box of cereal had an extra marshmallow poking out. By afternoon, customers were reporting mysterious discounts on random items—like free batteries with every purchase of toothpaste. Was it a glitch or someone’s prank? That night, a regular customer found a note in his bag of groceries: ‘Thanks for shopping at Target today! We hope you enjoy your surprise.’ Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic employee trying to make everyone’s day brighter. The next week, everyone started calling it the ‘Target Surprise Experiment’ and no one could stop laughing.
2. At Target one day, an excited child pointed and whispered to their parent, ‘Mom, look! Why do these apples have eyes?’ The parent smiled and leaned down, whispering back, ‘Honey, those aren’t eyes—those are stickers!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and laughed, shaking his head, ‘Must be a slow day when Target apples grow faces.’
3. At Target late one night, a security guard heard faint whispers coming from the aisles. Curious, he approached only to see shelves rearranging themselves. As he watched, dumbfounded, a can of soup slowly turned around and faced another shelf. Startled, the guard cleared his throat, but instead of stopping, the cans began softly singing ‘99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.’ Relieved, he smiled and left, never mentioning what he saw until a delivery driver teased him weeks later about it during coffee break.
4. At Target during an unexpected snowstorm, customers noticed that every time they scanned their groceries, the cash register wished them ‘Happy Birthday’—even when it wasn’t their birthday. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of free samples. Thinking it was part of some promotional stunt, everyone started celebrating imaginary birthdays. By the end of the storm, Target had become a giant birthday party, complete with cake and singing!
