About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Target when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded boxes near the entrance, he kept hearing soft whispers coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he followed the voice and found himself face-to-face with a talking box of cereal. Turns out, it was just a regular old marketing gimmick—an actor hired for product promotion. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll check the aisle for real customers first.’

2. A customer was browsing through Target’s aisles one afternoon when they asked aloud: ‘Why does every third can of beans mysteriously taste like bananas?’ Suddenly, an elderly neighbor appeared from around the corner and whispered, 'Oh honey, those aren’t banana-flavored beans—those are just my special secret recipe for banana bread!'

3. In the late hours of a Sunday night, a sleepy cashier at Target glanced up from her register and watched as a small dog trotted down the cereal aisle, nose twitching curiously between boxes. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman pushing a shopping cart full of canned goods stopped mid-step, exclaiming, 'What in the world?' The dog paused, tail wagging, then turned around and bounded back towards the exit, leading everyone out of the store like a little tour guide. The cashier smiled, shaking her head, as she thought, ‘Another day at Target—where even dogs know their way better than some humans!’

4. In the early hours of a Saturday morning, a security guard patrolling Target wondered aloud: 'Who left the shopping cart in the freezer?' The guard shrugged and opened the freezer door wider. Inside, amidst frozen vegetables and ice cream, sat an abandoned shopping cart with a lone banana dangling from its handle. ‘Well,’ he muttered, shaking his head, ‘at least it’s not a shopping cart full of bananas.’
