I have a love/hate relationship with this place. There have been times where i have found some very…read moregood items... there have been sometimes where I could not find anything I was looking for. Sometimes there are lots of unsavory characters hanging around in this store... sometimes everything is awesome. Such is my dilemma with this place. Today it looked like there had been a fight or a tornado that went through the store. Items were everywhere. It's mother's day so maybe they had a huge rush of people who ran through violently looking for that special gift for their mother. Also, the lines are soooo long. There are times I've come here for one specific item, find it, and take one look at how long the line is and put the item back. When I do wait in line, I've had an issue where other patrons were upset at their placement in line and got rude. This location will either be a hit or miss with you. It will all depend on the day, time of day, who's working/in the store, and what items are available lol.

One place that will always dominate any neighborhood besides that other depressing behemoth store…read moreis Target. A huge sprawling parking lot with enough space under one roof to get in a mile of walking, if one were so compelled. This brings me to Target in Charlotte. First, I despise getting in and out of this store as the way the entrance and exit is set up stinks, then you have to drive on University Blvd which, depending on the day, is a nightmare. That said, it is located in a safe part of town however please note this isn't a Super Target so not much in the way of food and an overwhelming selection of items. The employees don't walk around much but they're nice. My final opening point is extremely subjective, but I hate drab interior much like their big blue rival. As for food, the selection is extremely limited. Barely half an isle for fresh produce, select meats and a few other options. As for refrigerated items again, the selection is limited with a few items available as needed. Finally, the dry, snack and non-perishable items selection is much better but still not what you'll find at a larger store. I find I only shop here for food only when absolutely necessary. As for the kids' section, they're limited in toys as I tried to purchase some items for my kids but they only have the absolute most popular items. So, if you want that GI Joe action figure, you won't find it here, or at least anything new. As for electronics, they have most of the newest gaming consoles, games and controllers however 4k media is gone, but that's a standard among all stores now as physical media continues to be replaced by inferior forms of content like streaming. Most items like pet food and accessories are in abundance, hardware and housing goods have most of what someone needs and the kitchen section has a lot of average equipment to great stuff depending on what you need. For example, the knife selection is horrible but mixers are just as good as anywhere else. I do all of my vitamin and specialty medicine (not prescription) from Target as it's the cheapest. Clothing is always a challenge as I don't think they have enough employees to restock items so many times there will be clothes on the ground or in wrong areas. The jewelry case is sad as are most of there kitchen accessories section. But again, I have to remind myself this isn't a Super Target however coming in is a commitment. Overall, Target is exactly what you expect anywhere and that's by design. The only real differences are subtle things that regionally might sell better at one place then another state won't offer a product as it won't make sense. Think of a heavy winter coat for sale in Texas - it isn't needed. Finally, the store is clean and let's face it, you should know the prices and if they're competitive. Other than those items, it's Target you know what you want.

The absolute worse target in the history of all targets…read more They will pick beat up, previously opened, dirty looking spoiled food without a second thought to provide you during the drive up order. A jar of jalapenos that I returned so fast that I didn't take a picture for my own phone. They'll have prices marked on the shelf but not in the system. Today I actually shopped in-store trying to give another shot and manage a return just for the monthly deal not to work. We read the games and conditions. This cashier has to be from the Midwest based on how she talks + behaves but I could be wrong (which isn't the bad part. It just made me reminisce like I know this personality. Behavior. Mood) anywhoo she called over someone and he read the same coupon terms and conditions from my phone. But things down and reappeared with the in-store scanner to say clearance is exempt. Ok cool but it's not on the coupon showing in the wallet. Worse yet, I had to reset my password because shopping in-store always results in such because they push hard to have you redeem your circle money and gift cards. Ewww, child just stay away. Let the college kids and SE Asians have it. I say SE ASIANS be sure they appear to be heavy in the area with adjacent stores, returns and patronizing hard with kids running amuck without any supervision or correction. Good thing today: they had enough lines open. Crap BS today: the trail mix rang up more than what's posted on the shelf. If miss Minnesota hadn't been motor mouthing I would have caught it but alas I'll get it resolved tomorrow when there's less rain. Y'all, I left the Midwest and keep finding it. Hilarious. She is a hoot even with all the frustrations. At least the customer service girls know what to do and don't get all overwhelmed. Complete store in disarray. Nary an item where it's supposed to be.

Similar in format to Marshall's, TJ Maxx and Ross, most of the store is dedicated to women's clothing with sections for young women, boys and yes, there's some space for men. Electronics, luggage, canned/boxed food (nothing fresh) and shoes too. Prices are generally clearly marked and they have constant sales and discounts. Do keep an eye on the labels - not everything that says "large" is actually "large." And if you're shopping with kids, look out for the candy and other brightly colored stuff in the check-out aisle.

The place is HUGE and they have several different departments from kids to home. I loved perusing the women's section. I was able to find some nice inexpensive jeans, tops and socks. I loved this store, it had things I like to wear and lots of basic pieces that you can add to an outfit. Very very affordable. I definitely understand why people who knew about this store were so excited for one to open in Charlotte. I recommend going on a weekday afternoon or evening to avoid all the chaos that is Concord Mills mall though. Otherwise, this store is pretty cool!!

I purchased a dress that I had to go down in size and jeans that I had to go up in size. Try on everything so you can make sure it fits. My fitting room experience was not great. The attendant was more concerned with conversing with her coworkers than checking me in. Self check out can be tricky if you are not paying attention. The lady ahead of me did not get a receipt and the attendant told her incorrect info about obtaining it. After I paid and my receipt did not come out, I asked for assistance. Turns out the paper was jammed in the machine. I have my receipt, but the lady in front of me was SOL. The manager told her if you need to bring something back to tell them what happened. I hope they don't give her a hard time about that! I do agree with other Yelpers to come here during the day or during the week to not be in a crowded store. Oh and they close at 8pm with the mall, not 9pm as the Yelp listing says.
