About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when Target’s doors opened as usual. But something odd caught the eye of a delivery driver loading boxes onto the shelves: a small, dusty teddy bear had appeared on one of the topmost shelves. The delivery driver picked up the bear and decided to keep it for his niece back home. As he placed it in his truck, another box fell off the shelf with a loud thud. Everyone looked up, but no one noticed anything unusual except for a smile spreading across the face of a nearby shopper who whispered, ‘Looks like someone’s day just got a little bit brighter.’

2. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Target's loading dock. Suddenly, from inside the store, came a strange humming sound, like a swarm of bees trapped in a box. The delivery driver approached cautiously, thinking maybe it was just an old refrigerator on standby. But as he got closer, the hum grew louder—like a thousand tiny engines revving simultaneously. Turns out, it was just the air conditioning unit kicking into high gear after a power outage. The whole town had been talking about it for weeks.

3. It was a typical Saturday night when a strange humming sound filled the aisles of Target. A shopper stopped mid-cart and tilted their head curiously. Curious, she followed the noise until it led her to the frozen foods section. There, among the ice cream boxes, stood an old delivery driver humming along to his favorite tunes on an ancient walkman. ‘Just my newfound hobby,’ he grinned, adjusting his cap. The humming vanished as quickly as it had come, leaving only a smile on everyone’s faces.

4. It was just another day at Target, but something odd caught a regular’s eye. As he pushed his cart down the cereal aisle, he noticed that every box seemed to whisper ‘Buy me!’ in different voices. He tilted his head curiously and realized each voice belonged to a different employee—one even sounded like his neighbor! Turning around, he saw a smiling face behind the shelves saying, “Hey, Mr. Johnson, how can I help you today?” The regular laughed, pushing his cart away, thinking, “Maybe Target employees do have superpowers—it’s definitely better than working in silence.”
