About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Target’s parking lot is usually empty, a delivery truck pulled up with its headlights off. A neighbor noticed and called out, ‘Hey, isn’t that your turn signal blinking?’ The delivery driver sheepishly replied, ‘Oh, it’s not my blinker—it’s just my phone flashing.’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Next time, maybe bring some lights or a flashlight!’

2. At checkout, an elderly lady whispered to herself, ‘This cashier looks like my long-lost twin sister from Minnesota.’ The cashier smiled warmly and replied, ‘Maybe we are related then!’ Just as she said that, a delivery driver overheard them and joked, ‘Or maybe you’re both just really good actresses!’ Everyone laughed, and the elderly lady paid for her groceries with a big smile on her face.

3. On a chilly autumn morning, just as Target's doors were opening, a familiar voice called out from the shadows of the entranceway. 'Hey, did you see that?' asked a regular, pointing towards the ceiling. A delivery driver looked up and scratched his head. ‘No, I didn’t,’ he said with a smile. A neighbor, passing by, laughed and added, “It’s probably just another one of those ghost lights they’ve been talking about.” The regular nodded knowingly, and together they entered Target for some much-deserved warmth.

4. One day, while scanning the shelves for weekly essentials, a regular noticed something odd in the dairy aisle—a carton of milk with a best-by date from next year. Curious, the shopper asked around and found that a delivery driver had accidentally swapped labels from the upcoming year’s calendar. Soon enough, the entire neighborhood was laughing over free milk, and Target became known as the store where time occasionally goes on sale.
