About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In Target’s produce section one day, a regular noticed something peculiar—a banana with eyes and a smiley face drawn on it. Curiosity got the better of him, and he picked up another only to discover they were everywhere. He showed his friends, who started checking their own baskets—everyone had them! Soon, employees joined in the fun, drawing faces on apples and watermelons too. By closing time, Target looked like an art exhibit, and everyone left smiling, wondering if maybe the next week would bring even more colorful fruits.
2. In Target’s electronics aisle, an employee noticed something odd—an old cassette tape labeled ‘Instructions for Happiness.’ No one could recall it being there before. As days passed, more and more people started finding strange items in Target: a recipe card with a secret ingredient, a note scribbled on a grocery list, “Don’t forget to smile today.” One day, a delivery driver found a book of poetry hidden among the canned goods. It turned out to be the store’s quirky way of spreading happiness. Employees began leaving little notes or small gifts in unlikely places, turning shopping into a treasure hunt. And so, Target became known not just for its deals but also for its unexpected acts of kindness.
3. In Target’s toy department, a delivery driver found something curious in a box of building blocks—a tiny wooden sign that read, 'Warning: Do not build castles here.' The delivery driver showed it around the warehouse, and soon everyone was laughing about who might have left such a cryptic message. Eventually, someone quipped, ‘Maybe they were trying to tell us where NOT to build our careers!’ And so, amidst giggles and good-natured teasing, the little sign became part of Target’s urban legend.
4. At midnight, while restocking the cleaning supplies, a night stocker swore he heard someone whispering from behind the shelves. "Did you see that?" he asked himself, reaching for the nearest bottle of detergent. Curious, he slowly turned around—and there was only an empty aisle. Just as he relaxed, though, he noticed a box of tissues moving ever so slightly on its own. ‘Must be drafts,’ he muttered, but couldn’t help glancing over his shoulder every few minutes until his shift ended. The next morning, nobody else reported anything strange—until a delivery driver mentioned seeing a cart following him down the produce section.
