Unbelievable! I am a Lincoln Park mother buying bins and groceries. In fact, I just spend $250 at your store. I put the receipt in the bag yet you stop me, make me dig it out because there are exposed bins? I have to unpack everything in fact to find it. The the pièce de résistance, there are literally count them 4 yes FOUR Chicago cops staring me down hands on hips. I am furious!!!! Don't they have more urgent things to take care of? I won't waste my GOOD MONEY on your store again! I'll take it to Amazon like the rest of the world! Good luck staying afloat with that service. At least Amazon treats their customers with respect! read more

Target is my one-stop shop for all cleaning and paper products, as well as the occasional clothes shopping. This Target is so easy to get to from where I live, and I love that it is right across the street from the grocery store we go to, Strack & Van Til. It makes for an easy shopping trip to stop there and at Target and I can get everything I need! It would be nice if this was one of those SUPER Targets where they also have their own complete grocery store, but that's ok. I have noticed how awkward their tiny customer service desk is and there are always long lines, but I have yet to need to return anything. I still love me some Target. read more

Target is probably one of my favorite stores to shop for household items and it's even more so now that they've added a grocery section. The quality of their products are great yet very affordable. They even have photo and optical departments and the Starbucks cafe. The checkout lines can get ridiculous but the wait isn't too long. The associates are quick and efficient in checking out. I also love that no receipt is needed to return items. You can simply give them the credit or debit card you used to purchase the item. They'll even give you cash refund (even on a credit card purchase)...how awesome is that? read more

As much as I have not cared for this place in the past due to setup...I still went. I received a coupon in the mail and saved $15. It was on an early afternoon during the week so it was not super busy. Bike parking is in front of the store. Check out took forever due to low staffing on registers. The store was clean. I was able to get what I needed in a non-rushed fashion. Going here early afternoons during the week is key. I can never go to Target without spending at least $100. read more

I can't say I mind a big box store every once in a while. I went to this Target on Black Friday at 12:30 AM and was absolutely pleased that they had everything in stock. They were fully staffed, organized, and not chaotic. I was really pleased that we left the Walmart across town to come to Target because that place was nucking futs. Wound up getting some great 2 Day Sale deals like a microwave for $40 but also bought some Christmas presents that weren't part of the sale. A good Target location, for sure. We'll be back. read more

Wow. Late on a Sunday night the week before Christmas and I couldn't imagine a nicer shopping experience. This is not a store we shop often so we didn't know our way around. Everyone we asked for help was friendly and knowledgeable. We were shopping for toys for a local charity and had a very specific list of items. The sales associate walked us up and down the aisles and helped us find everything we needed. It definitely put a holiday smile on my face. read more

This is the closest Target to my house. So I end up here for big box shopping more often than I'd like. First, the good: 1) It's Target. 2) They sell packaged food here now. Including fresh fruit and vegetables. 3) This location has a nice wine/beer selection. The Bad: 1) The parking lot is a cluster fu*k. 2) At certain times, the store becomes so crowded it's difficult to move. 3) As this location is so busy, often items become out of stock very quickly. If you see an article of clothing you like, etc. don't expect it to be there the next day. read more

I went in looking for an end table. I found one, but it was scraped up and apparently the only one they had left in stock. No problem, said one of their supervisors, who ordered me a new one. It arrived the next day, fresh in a box, and the same supervisor took the time to go find it in the back room (among, I'm sure, hundreds of other boxes). By the way, the new end table looks great and I bought one of those chocolate chip cookies at the food counter to celebrate. Outstanding customer service. read more

Well, it's Target and I love Target. That said, this is a pretty average Target store to me. I think it's generally pretty clean, and what few employees I've dealt with have been good. It can be a bit crowded at times but overall I'd say they deal with the lines very well. I think it's also less crowded than at least the one other Target I've been to on the city in Uptown. read more

I'm not really sure why everybody hates on this location. Sure it can be busy, but it's also one of the largest city targets that's been updated inside, and it sits right between major traffic thoroughfares (Western...Elston...and right off of 94). I find it to be fairly well stocked on the whole, though I agree with others that sale items can be a little picked over. I mainly stop in for last minute essentials, cleaning, and beauty products. The most limited department in my eyes is health/pharmacy; they could really use a better stock of body wash, lotions, toothpaste, first aide, etc. As it stands, that section occupies one tiny congested corner, roughly 2-3 aisles right at the entrance. Pros: larger store = moderate selection, generally clean, customer service is right in the grocery entry, and Chase ATM available too. The express lanes are helpful when you're only picking up a few items, as long as people can figure out how to form appropriate lines. Easy parking in a large lot (and extra garage spaces around the right side/back). Cons: pretty busy, lots of noisy kids, long lines at checkout (depending on the day) read more

I love Target prices but most of the staff is extremely rude and when you ask them for help they roll their eyes and huff an puff as though your bothering them. I was once told by an employee there not to bother her with my questions because she was on break an told me to go find someone else to torture with my problems. I like the store itself but the employees not so much. Employees are disrespectful to customers. read more

This particular Target is a zoo. It's always busy. If you feel at all bugged out by crowds of screaming mongrels bumping into each other and generally causing a stack of chaos I recommend going to the larger, more spacious Addison store. If you must go to the Elston store consider taking a bus as the parking lot is usually full. read more

Target is my mecca. Okay, okay, this is no suburban target, maybe the spaces aren't big enough for your giant SUVs and the city folk are too rough for your liking. But I love this place, I can always find a million things that I want but don't need, and am actually wearing a shirt and socks purchased from said Target at this very moment. The only thing that would earn them that final ultimate star is having more check out lanes open when its busy. I'm beginning to wonder if those lanes are purely ornamental... read more

This is the kind of review I hope will save people time. IMO this is the best Target in Chicagoland. Well stocked and with a large variety of items such as clothing, groceries, and the like. So if you've ever had to go to a gillion Targets to find that matching curtain don't bother - just come here. I've decided to remove one star however. The minus one star is due to the poor cashier staffing. I know the economy is in the crapper and all but couldn't Target shit-can a couple execs and staff the lanes better? For example: on New Years Eve I popped in to buy some wine (don't judge) and discovered on my way out that all the lanes were staffed by TEENAGERS!!! I waited 15 minutes while a straggly haired middle aged marm zoomed around from register to register. What nonsense. NYE and Target is pushing booze. Why on earth would they staff the store with teenagers. ME-OW! read more

I love Target for the same reasons everyone else does. The reason I visit this Target is solely due to the location, which is pretty convenient for me. Plus, I can also hit Ulta, Costo and Dominick's on my way home from this location. The majority of the shopping I ever need to do in one fell swoop... The store itself is pretty clean and well stocked. I have tried on a lot of clothes here, and it can get congested, but it is never dirty and I've never actually had to wait to try stuff on. I haven't really had to ask for help here before, but there seem to be plenty of people available for that purpose. Also, even when the lines are monstrously long, they move pretty quickly. It is inice that they added the express lanes, but for me those are a joke. When did I ever buy 10 items or less at a Target? The reason I sort of hate this Target is the parking situation is an epic fail. The parking lot is always a s***show, however you can park in the garage that is attached to the Target (it is just west of the Target, behind it a little ways). The problem is getting in or out of the actual lot. It. Sucks. I am pretty pumped about the new Target currently being built at Division and Larrabee. Much closer, and hopefully with better parking. read more

This location is in the inner city and it is gigantic! They had a huge selection of many things (more than I have ever seen at any Target) and everything seemed to be in stock. When it became time for me to check out I noticed that it was fully staffed and that the lines were moving quickly. I found myself waiting behind just a few people and even before I could advance forward, someone from a different register called me over so they could help me faster! The lady cop at the front door (very similar looking to Sonya Blade from the Mortal Kombat series, was very nice and inspect my receipt quickly. I tested every aspect of the merchandise I bought after I got home with it and everything worked great! No returns, very pleased. Oh, and they had plenty of good parking, in fact, I have slept in this parking lot several times before in my younger years. It has a very safe vibe to it. read more

Ever since they reorganized this store I have had the hardest time re-learning the layout. They also need some self-checkout stations as the lines can get pretty long at peak times. Finding parking can be a challenge at those times too. Off-peak visits are no sweat. What did people in the neighborhood do before this store opened? Daniela is an excellent cashier. She impressed me by scanning my items through with her left hand as she reached for the bar code scanner and scanned the oversize item I was holding up for her. She didn't even miss a beat doing both things at once. read more

It's a Target. Pretty cut-and-dry. It's the closest big box store to me, so I go there often for groceries and other, you know, consumer goods. Never had a bad experience there. Not too clean, not too dirty. Okay selection. It sure is a store. Oh, Target's return policy is great. I didn't have a receipt, but produced the debit card I used for the purchase. No problem, they credited my bank account, and it took less than 30 seconds. Awesome. read more

Oh Target how I loathe you! The waste of time for such crappy product and such hype. You are the Walmart of Chicago read more

The terrible Pharmacy at this Target store is symbolized by the half burnt out "Pharmacy" sign on the front of the building. I've had numerous experiences where I've wasted my time dealing with them and I'm done. There has been numerous times where Ive phoned in my prescriptions only to get there for them to have no record of it. This is where I think this Pharmacy is scamming the customers. You get there and they lead you to believe you have to wait 25 mins for your prescription. 25 mins to drop 15 pills into a bottle? Give me a break. But you go and do EXACTLY what they want you to do...shop in the store. Every time this has happened to me I find things that I remember I need and end up spending money while I wait - hook, line and sinker. Never again Target. I will be switching back to CVS Pharmacy. There is no reason prescriptions shouldn't be ready 6 hours after you phone them in. I feel like this is something that Target must do across all of its stores in order to drive more revenue - get people shopping while they wait, genius! Other things about this store while Im on topic: Why have a parking garage that doesn't have access to the store? This makes no sense at all. If you park in the garage you have to go all the way to the front of the building - every other store Ive been to with a parking garage has some sort of access to the store itself. They have 32 check out lanes and I've never seen them have more than 12 open - even during the holidays. Each lane on average always has at least 2-4 people in it. Why have 32 registers, just for show? To top it all off they lose my credit card information and I have to get a new Chase debit card, Target card, etc? This whole fiasco has really made me rethink shopping at Target all together. read more

I went to get a couple of things the other day and the cashier bagged two small things in one bag and I didn't notice it. I left the bag behind and went home. When I got home I realized I was missing some stuff. I went back and they had it at costumer service. I didn't think it would be this easy; I thought they were going to give me a hard time about it. I'm glad it was easy to get my stuff. I like this store, it's mostly clean and well stocked. We don't shop there that often, but I like going there for cute blouses or every day shorts. I also got some cute picture frames there. Don't go on a saturday or a sunday, and if you do be prepared to bump into other people's carts. It does get very busy in the weekend so watch out! read more

I go to many Target locations. Niles, Broadway, Peterson but this location is like my old friend. Literally. It's old but after going here for fifteen years, it's still my favorite. I remember when it was the only one in the city and open 24 hours. That was fun. Anyway...It also has a spacious Starbucks with lots of outlets. Go to this target!! read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great place to get all of the items that most stores won't carry you can get Chinese mustard other spices like vanilla beans most stores just won't carry those there's a lot of things that most stores will carry I love this store. read more

Someone once told me that this is one of the most frequented Target Stores in the entire country and if you've ever been here on a Saturday afternoon, you'd probably agree. This particular store is a great place to pick up things like toiletries or dish soap--household needs and the like. It is not a good place to buy things that stores receive in limited quantity like CDs or DVDs, or stuff like that. If you found a sweater you liked at a different store but couldn't find your size, don't even bother checking here. They sold through all of those 3 weeks ago. But, if you need toothpaste? They might just have what you're looking for. read more

The people are rude. The aisles are a mess. Parking is a bieotch. Way too many people coming here for the sh*tty service you get. Worst Target I've ever gone to. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE PLACE! read more

I feel rather odd writing a review such a well known cookie cutter store like target but this particular location is my favorite. The main reason I like this location is because they have a great women's clothing section and it's very organized. Since they parking lot is huge and the store has a very open layout even on the weekends I don't get too overwhelmed being here. I can't believe this is the one we used to call Targhetto. read more

Terrible customer service. I went today and product didn't ring at sales price. Manager took 30 min for a price check and didn't give the sale price where the product was under my spouse took a picture of them moving all the products from sale shelf. That was just deceitful making us wait 30 Minute and they moved the products from it location. I prefer Walmart 10 times due to there customer service. Take my advice take your bussiness else where Target lost customer value. read more

I have to agree. Customer service at this location has always been sketchy. Bad experience tonight that has me contemplating returning all of my items tomorrow... read more

This target is amazing!!! I ordered some electronics online for curb pick up and they were very fast and efficient thanks!!!

I like this Target. It's generally quiet Usually clean The staff is very helpful It's organized read more

Very rude staff. They aren't helpful at all. One staff member was coughing everywhere and they were not cleaning self checkouts.

I lost my phone while shopping in Target and the employees were amazing. Grace went above and beyond to help me locate my phone!! I am eternally grateful for her assistance and dedication. She deserves a raise, as it is important to reward such great employees. Props to the girls at the register who cashed out and help my groceries and the young security guard working the door by the food court! Amazing staff, keep up the good work. Thanks to the honest soul who returned the phone, as well! read more

Target has become a hobby of mine! I love this one because they always have what I want and the self checkout is fast not matter how long the lines are. And cashiers are nice read more

Went to Target on Elston Sunday Morning 7/26 and I saw SIX different employees wearing their masks below their noses. I was in and out in 15 minutes because I felt so uncomfortable. Bummer. All but one of the many dozens of customers were wearing masks appropriately. read more

Anyone who has been to a pharmacy knows that it's not a day at the amusement park. So you'd think it wouldn't surprise me that Target pharmacy sucks. Well guess again. Target pharmacy takes suckage to a whole new level. Everyone there looks like deers in headlights. Went to Target pharmacy to fill a prescription for a generic drug. After waiting 30 minutes the agent tells me that they don't have enough in stock to fill my prescription and then just stares at me. This is the point where the agent is supposed to offer the solution. But no. She just stares at me blankly. So it's clearly my responsibility to come up with a solution so I ask her if she can just give me what's in stock and I can return in a few days to pick up the rest when it comes in stock. She says "oh" with a surprised look and follows with "let me check if that's okay." Wait what?? Isn't that common practice to do a partial prescription. You have to ask???? It should have been offered!! So she checks with the pharmacist and the pharmacist says yes. So she fills what was in stock and rings me up. The price of my GENERIC medication comes out to be more than the brand. So I say "how could the generic cost more than the brand name medication? That doesn't seem accurate." By the way my medication has never come out to that price at any other pharmacy! So she says yeah, I dunno, that's weird" and just stares blankly. Do you think she took initiative to make sure the price was indeed accurate? Nooooo. Of course not. At this point I just wanted to get out of there so I paid what I was pretty sure was not accurate pricing. They tell me to return in two days after 2 pm and the rest of my prescription will be in stock. Fast forward two days, I show up, wait 20 minutes only for them to tell me that they were unable to get it in stock. That the manufacturer was out of stock. So they couldn't have called me to let me know that instead of letting me waste time showing up???? So they tell me to return before I run out of medication (which is about two weeks). In between that time I contact the manufacturer who says that they have plenty of stock and have NO idea why the Target pharmacy is saying they can't get any from the manufacturer. Gee, why am I not surprised. So I return in two weeks and wait 30 minutes for them to tell me that they've been "trying everyday for two weeks to order the medication and have been unable to get any from the manufacturer." Then they stare at me blankly, as is their pattern. They don't offer a solution as any normal pharmacy would. No, just stare at customers blankly. So, again, it's up to me to offer a solution so I ask if they can just give me a different generic (the brand of medication I take has 5 generic versions, one of which I'm sure was in stock). So again, they look surprised and say "let me ask." Wait what?????? Substituting for a different generic is COMMON practice as long as a script doesn't have the "no substitutions" box checked (and mine doesn't). So after asking the pharmacist they say they can substitute. So after waiting another 20 minutes they fill the remainder of my script and ring me up. I see that they've substituted for the brand. Do you think they checked to see what the generic versions were and whether they had one of the other generic versions in stock? Nope. They didn't. Then here comes the kicker. They tell me I owe them X amount of dollars because the brand costs more than the generic. Ding, ding, ding. Okay dodo birds, two weeks ago you charged me a higher price for the generic than the brand and told me the generic costs more than the brand, which I said didn't sound accurate. Now two weeks later you're telling me the opposite. You see the problem here? So when I bring this up to the pharmacist...wait for it......she just stares at me blankly! omfg. No checking of the price, no solution, no checking to see if I was overcharged last time. Nothing. Just staring at me blankly. Have you seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation when Chevy Chase receives a gift card for the jelly of the month club instead of his yearly bonus and has an epic meltdown?? Yeah I was five seconds from that so I just hurried up and paid and got the hell out of there. Otherwise I would have gone Rihanna on them in her "Bitch Better Have My Money" video and locked one of them in my trunk. Needless to say I'm transferring my prescription elsewhere. There's no way I would torture myself by ever going back to a Target Pharmacy. Dear Target: "I want to tell you what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, brainless, dickless, heartless, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit you are." Courtesy of Chevy Chase :) read more

I admit, I am a Target junkie. I will make my visit just for paper towel or cleaning supplies (I *heart* Soft Scrub), and will walk out $100 later with bags full of things I "need." This particular location is close to my office and convenient for post work shopping - a great unwinding activity. The inventory is completely cluttered in this location. Everything is disorganized and a mess!! Maybe it was just a bad day?? However, they do sell ginormous two liter bottles of ItoEn tea, my favorite. I'm also a big fan of Archer Farm (Target private label brand) snacks such as hors d'oeuvre crackers, cookies and coffee. I can spend hours in their bath and soap section! I love the little price scanner thing in the middle of the store so you can see how much you are spending (because not everything is labeled). It's great because I can make sure I'm spending only $100 instead of $200. The employees here are pretty pleasant too. Oh, and I bought one of my favorite movies on DVD for $5.50. How fantastic is that??? read more

Ah, my beloved Target. This isn't the closest Target to me but I often end up here because they are open late (midnight on most nights, if not all, not entirely sure). As everyone knows, you always leave Target with more than you intended to buy, it's just a fact of life. I am not a person who typically goes shopping for fun, but Target is the exception to that rule. They just have good, cheap stuff. No doubt made in a Chinese sweatshop, but this is apparently the way of the world today. And unlike other reviewers, I have always found the employees at this and other Targets to be knowledgeable and friendly. You can seriously ask them for the most random items and nearly always they will give you the exact aisle number where it is located. Impressive! read more

People speak the truth in their reviews for this location. It's a clusterfuck. Parking wasn't that bad but it's just so chaotic inside that it makes for difficult shopping because you're always bumping into someone. I have been to this one before, about 2 years ago with my sister in law. I went on a cartful shopping trip with a friend here recently since she lives nearby. Makes me miss my usual targets I go to- either the one in McKinley park or the one in uptown. No thank you on the south loop location. I shudder to think of returning to this one again. read more

Sadly Target's renovation has left a confusing layout and I just don't get it...please anybody who has figured it out let me know. Miss my old fabulous Target of a decade ago when you could find the best stuff...come back please!! read more

I found it funny to read all of the one star complaining reviews lol. It's Target. You're not going to get some ten star boujee shopping experience at any Target. This Target is very clean and their selection is great. It's also across from my gym and walking distance from where I live so it's super convenient. My only sad face is since the beginning of June they have been out of the knock off snickers ice cream bars. Which is the most minor inconvenience and I shouldn't be eating those right now anyway. Anyway this is a great Target and don't listen to those who blast it due to minor inconveniences. read more
