During this COVID 19 crisis I visited my local Target store this store topped Hawthorne by 5 stars. They're only letting a few in at a time , the baskets are bring sanitized the store is clean some of the shelves were empty but that's to be expected. Five stars to whoever the manager is Thank you read more

The no bathrooms being available during the remodel has promptly earned you a one star rating. BUT ANDRE waited on me during his break and was patient despite there being a huge backlog of people crammed in. Thanks to ANDRE, your horrible greed management has been abated. We come here because of the staff. Not because of your "brilliant" management decisions. read more

The girl Valerie at the beauty section is so rude its a short girl light skin she answers so rude like she hates her job and she was just there gossiping with another coworker so rude read more

Please make sure that the merchandise you are purchasing is new as you intend to buy items in new condition. Two separate instances where I place order pick one one for a hair dryer and when I got home and unpacked it it had someone else's hair on the hair dryer barrel. Sick! 2nd was today with Azo pills placed and order for pick up when I got home I opened package to see that pill were open and one pill had been removed what in the world is wrong with this Gardena Target this never ever happened at the Culver City Target. The store pick up people will give you any garbage to fulfill their orders and expect you to pay. Please inspect "new" merchandise since it's extremely challenging for the staff to detect when things have been tampered with. read more

A black "security" worker who was working with the collection of the carts has been so rude and i felt very threatened by her. She and another co worker, an older black male, were chit chatting outside blocking of the parking spaces. I had gone 2,3 rounds around the parking lot and failed to find one. So as i made my second round i saw they were blocking a perfectly fine space so i pointed at the space, asking if i can park there. With an angry tone of voice she said "theres all these other spaces y u gotta park here bro?!" And i was baffled. First of all, I am a driver and customer. I went 2 rounds already. And you are not even supposed to be chit chatting and blocking a space while working... maybe she was having a bad day? But nobody should act so rude if they were at fault. read more

Target - The rude black worker blocking with carts for no reason. - Department Stores Near Me - Gardena, California

This Target location is constantly out of basic items like certain brand detergents, cleaning products, and foods. It's like they're trying to force you to buy their off brand replacement crap! Yesterday, they were COMPLETELY sold out of menstrual pads! The shelves for these items were bare as if it was the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. The parking lot is also filthy with trash. I'm now willing to drive the extra miles to the South Bay or Manhattan Beach store to not have to deal with the headache. Management needs to get it together! read more

Cashier - Araceli was rude and unfriendly. I am new to the area and will not be returning to this location. Assortment was decent but overall staff is not delivering a good guest experience. read more

The newly remodeled Target is a hit! The layout and flow is really nice. The store is nice and bright, large open type concept. Very very nice. Employees are the same, some are really personable and others arent quite as nice but that's ok. Main thing is the store looks really great and we'll overdue. read more

Not my usual Target store but I was in a pinch and had to stop at the closet one to me at the time. You can tell that the employees don't like working at this store and the team leads don't want to be bothered with assisting the cashier's. Not one employee smiled or greeted us as we walked throughout the store. read more

they are so nice to people and most target don't have Ulta or make up products and you can find groceries there, too.

Called 8 times to just ringing and then someone hanging up.

Surprisingly the workers greeted me as a rush thru in and out of this store to grab some stuff for a trip at the beach. This is a quick review. It was my first time here. I got lost in gardena/hawthorne looking for someone. I drove towards redondo Blvd from Crenshaw, and saw that big target logo. I came in hot and the parking lot has no shade. No underground parking. The lot is dirty. It's not comparable to others. It's as ugly as the home Depot parking lot in gardena. A lot of cracks and it's like earthquake ruined the lot. Going inside u can tell major remodel happened. New isles, new products. Wider isles. I only came for some foods and goodies. The grocery section was quite cramped. Felt like going in Ralph or Albertson, it's not wide like Walmart or Costco. But my review is for the fact that workers were very nice and greeted me. read more

A lot of crooks in this location, a wink of an eye my daughter 's wallet stolen, asked for help for security it takes a long time to taking care of it after the crook got away.not a good place to shop. read more

My cashier, Tiffany, was extremely rude and very aggressive. I visited Target in Gardena, with my 5 year old son. At checkout, I stood in line with 3 guests ahead of me. There were only 3 cashiers available during this time, and the lines were moving a bit slow. My cashier had her light on when I first got to her line. By the time she was assisting the woman in front of me, her light was off. Tiffany then told me that she was closed. I mentioned to her that I was standing in line before it was turned off. She then proceeded to tell me with a very rude attitude, "Well, I'm not helping you. Someone else will help you but it ain't gonna be me" She argued with me in front of guests. She was loud and had the worst attitude I've ever experienced with any Target employee. I asked her not to speak to me like that; at this point my son was getting scared. She then yelled out for Arthur (supervisor/manager) and told him "I'm not helping her" I explained to Arthur what happened. He apologized and said she had to go to lunch. I'm very aware of going to lunch before your 5th hour, but maybe being fully staffed would avoid a situation like this in the future. Arthur told Tiffany to assist me with my transaction, as I was next. Tiffany then said "I don't wanna help her, she got an attitude". She talked about me as if I wasn't standing there. She completed my transaction and Arthur asked if she needed help but she said it was fine. My transaction was fast but by far was the most scary and unprofessional experience I've ever had. This store definitely needs training to polish their customer service. Her demeanor was not friendly nor welcoming. With employees like Tiffany, I'd rather stick to online shopping. read more

I placed an order for online pick up at 4:30 pm and it said it would be ready in 2 hours. I called the store at 6:30 pm because the app said that it was still processing. I couldn't reach anyone on the phone. I called a total of 6 times to the pick up/ customer service ext and was not able to get anyone on the phone. I was already irritated at this point, but decided to wait another hour. At 7:30, I called back and still no answer and so I walked into the store and went to the return section because there was noone working at the online pick up section, which btw, was a huge mess. The clerk at the other counter pretty much told me what I saw online, it wasn't ready. So I walked to the aisle, grabbed my item, checked out and canceled my online order. They seem to be either really short staffed or management's not doing their job. I won't be ordering online pick up again from them. If you want consistent, great customer service for online pick up orders, do it with Walmart. They are on top of it every time I order online with them. They'll send you notifications and even called me to tell me where to park because they knew that I was in the parking lot looking for where to pick up my items. Other than that bad experience, this target is pretty usual when compared to the rest, although, I have noticed that it's gotten a lot busier now than usual. Parking can sometimes be hard to find. The dressing rooms are messy all the time because on numerous occasions, there's noone attending and so the rooms get filled with clothes that are left on the hooks. The staff are nice though, I've never had any issues when asking for help in the store. The also have a Starbucks inside, which is awesome. It's a nice, convenient location and I'll be coming back but I won't be ordering for pick up again lol. What a nightmare. read more

Just hope that you never have to use the restroom while you're shopping here. It was the most disgusting restroom I have ever been in in my entire life. Almost all the toilets in every stall was filled to the rim with s*it. And the two that didn't, smelled like it. The floor was covered in trash and spilled coffee, and no soap in any of the dispensers. Thank goodness I carry hand wipes with me. They have a chart on the door that employees sign off on every hour when they're supposedly supposed to clean the restrooms. This days sheet had not been signed off on since 8:30 and it was approximately 2pm. Somebody is seriously slacking somewhere. Skip this restroom all together. The bushes outside are cleaner. read more

0 stars if possible. This target is always understaffed and the lines are horrendous. Always messy and parking is always a pain in the ass. Avoid!! read more

ALWAYS LONG LINES!! No matter what time I arrive here, there always seems to be not enough coverage for registers. Target is a well known store many people shop at due to the varieties of items they have. U also can NEVER find staff to help you. Please get it together Target. read more

I've changed my mind on this location. I shop here because it's the closest to me but every time I do I regret going to this location. They never have more than 2 lines open at a time so the line to check out takes longer than the target trip itself! In addition, their bathrooms are ALWAYS dirty even after they did a remodel of the store which is disappointing since it could be very nice. It's frustrating because I can't ever find employees to help when I'm looking for something and often have to use the app to find products and if they aren't there it's a pain to find someone to help. I shop here out of convenience in location but most of the time it's an inconvenience and takes longer than it needs! I hope they can get this store back on track! read more

I wanted to step out for air yesterday and I decided to go buy a big clock for the office. I want to kill time but not TOO much time. so I decided I'll go to the Gardena Target instead of MY preferred Target in Redondo Beach. I found the clocks easily but I also wanted a desk clock. I stood there for 5 minutes in the center of the aisle cuz well.. I'm Ronnie M. and people stop to help. Probably cuz I look like a lost puppy. But lost puppies are adorable so it must mean that I'M adorable Anyways, no one was in sight! I go on a mad search for people in red shirts. 10 minutes past..still no one. I pick up one of the "HELP" phones. Operator: Can I help you find something? Me: Of course darling! I'm looking for a desk clock. Operator: a what? Me: a desk clock. a clock that goes on your desk. O: Where are you? Me: I don't know. In the bedding aisle. O: Hmm. that's where I'd look. Me: what? O: Where are you? Me: Huh? I said I'm in the bedding aisle. O: Well. I don't know what to tell you. *hangs up* ............. ............. Well. Ain't that a B. read more

***This Target kind of feels like it is in an odd location; a lot of Targets are right off the freeway or near a lot of other retail options; this one is not; it is an okay store; it is definitely not as lively or crowded as a lot of the other Targets out there, but it is a good option to stock up on supplies*** Like other Targets, this Target features its own free parking lot. The parking lot is huge and it is easy finding an open space. read more

I stopped by this location on my way home from lunch (in Gardena) with my wife. The first thing that I noticed as I was walking up to the building was that, it is a fairly large store. The parking lot was full of cars but we got inside and I started asking... "where are all the people?" lol The very thing that I don't like about Target is that it always seems to be crowded...and that can make shopping a drag. Not this location...there's room for everyone to breathe...it wasn't the absolute cleanest and the overall layout/floor plan I found a lil' interesting....but they are well stocked! (It's a STORE for crying out loud) Starbuck's on premises read more

Target - Front of store - Department Stores Near Me - Gardena, California

One day I will have enough experiences to provide a clever anecdote to share on a chain store review. I am a dry bed of mud today so simple it is. You walk in, get your shit, pay for it, and walk out. I've been to this location several times and the staff is pretty friendly. I mean, they don't stick a foot out, trip you and run away laughing. They're willing to help you find stuff you need, as long as you don't show up in a trench coat with greasy hair and military boots asking where the knives are. Oh, and parking is plentiful, so that's always a plus. read more

Love this Target. But train Kelvin on customer service. I greeted him as I walked up to the register, he ignored me. Didn't even tell me my total. I didn't expect a "have a good day at this point". I think Kelvin belongs at Walmart. read more

Unfortunately this is my closest Target, Like everyone has said, this place is dirty and parking can be a hassle at times. However, you can't beat Target prices. I'm a big fan of wondering through the store looking for new interesting items that I probably don't need. Especially in the seasonal section, which has been recently expanded. Also there's now a Starbucks inside, so I can grab my cup of Joe and wonder through the store. read more

Was in the area and came to get a poster frame since my local Target ran out. I also bought painter's tape. This location is pretty similar to all the other ones. Huge parking lot. As soon as you walk in, it smells like vanilla and caramel. I assume it's from Starbucks. Been here a couple of times and like it! read more

This Target has the worst customer service from top to bottom. I was in the market for the iPad 9.7-inch (2018 Model). I saw on Amazon that it was $249.99 and since Target price matches I wanted to use my RedCard to save an extra 5%. Last week I had gone to the Target in Carson on Sepulveda and they said they could price match, but I wanted to wait until today since Apple was announcing new iPads. The entry level iPad I wanted didn't get a refresh so I decided it was time to buy. Unfortunately, Target Carson no longer had it in stock so I went to the nearest Target that did have it, the Gardena store. I get to electronics and this Filipino lady helps me but says they can't price match for Apple products but we can double check at Guest Services. So she walks the item over, but she takes SO LONG walking because she is on her phone texting. Ok, whatever I thought, I just wanted the price match. So we get to Guest Services and they say the same thing. I pull up the Target Price Match Policy on my phone (https://corporate.target.com/about/shopping-experience/shop-with-confidence) and there's nothing that excludes Apple. I explain this, so they start opening up their binders looking for the policy text but can't find it. So they call up their supervisor Arthur who says they can't do it, no proof or anything, just his words. I explain again about Apple not being an exclusion on their WRITTEN policy but he just says it's corporate policy to not price match them or something like that. I walk away and call Target Customer Service, tell them about the iPad and the price on Amazon and they said there should be no problems with a price match. So they transfer me to a Level 2 Supervisor who also agrees and then she connects me on a 3-way call with the Target Gardena LOD (Leader on Duty) Adam, who says that he'll take care of me. When I get there Adam again reiterates the "we don't price match Apple" but since I went through all these hoops that he'd take care of me. At this point I'm eye rolling in my head because two people at customer service confirmed that price matching Apple was okay, but whatever, I just wanted to get the iPad and go. I thought it was gonna be a breeze from there, but man was I wrong. Instead of helping me himself he instructs a trainee on how to do a price match and goes on to assist another customer. She scans the item and says they can't price match because it's on Amazon Prime. They can only price match Amazon...seriously?! I explain that Amazon Prime is just a membership shipping service, not a separate store (seriously), and that the price is $249.99 on Amazon whether you have Prime or not. Like you could logout, turn off Prime and it's still $249.99! I guess because the Amazon Prime name & symbol shows up on the website they thought it was under Prime. The sick thing is the LOD (Leader of Dummies) Adam agrees with this. Like come on, how could you be so ignorant. I am furious at this point. I was on the phone for 45 minutes. In store for about 30. And despite Corporate directly calling the store and taking my side, this dude still won't price match, and on top of that he just passes me off to a trainee despite saying he'd "take care of me" multiple times! At this point there's insurmountable evidence that the store got the policy wrong. Let's say there was a grey area through. Even then customer service dictates taking the customer's side, especially after making promises and corporate calling and verifying what the customer said! Anyways, I go home, call Target.com, order the iPad and ask for a price match and they do it. No sweat. Sigh. All this BS because I wanted to take home the iPad and use it the same day. If only I knew that it would be this stressful I would've just bought it online in the first place. TL;DR/Moral of the story: Never price match Apple products at Target Gardena because they'll just make up some BS on how they can't price match Apple products. Heck, don't even buy any big ticket items here because if it's cheaper on Amazon they won't price match/adjust that either because they think Prime is a separate store when it's really just a shipping service. Save yourself the time and hassle and do it online. read more

I happened to be on this side of town and needed to do a little shopping before the holiday rush started to kick in. As I pulled into the parking lot I was pleasantly surprised to find a good 75% of the parking lot completely empty. I walked in and honestly I think a majority of the vehicles that were in the parking lot were employees because this place was EMPTY!!!! As I picked up my handcart I observed a security guard monitoring customer entering and exiting. I also took a look at the cash registers and found quite a few to be open even without customers. The cashiers were not sitting around doing nothing; they were whipping down their conveyer belt and ensuring their working area was clean and tidy. I walked around this store and found the layout to be similar to others I have visited, not exact but pretty close. This is important when visiting a chain and you truly want to get in, beat the crowd & get out without any hassle of searching for simply products. As I walked around the store and obviously walking with a purpose selecting items I was still approached on several occasions by staff asking if I needed assistance, which I thought was nice. This Target had a pharmacy, basic supermarket, Starbucks and even offered recycling bins for plastic bags, computer ink cartridges & even cell phones. When it came time to check out I waited in no line and was out the door and driving away less than 10 minutes after I walked in the door. I am not in the area often but if I find myself back in this neck of the woods without question I will pay them a visit again. read more

I bought a game was waiting in line I was typing in my phone number for the points on the keypad I didn't finish and it went away I asked the cashier and she said it went thru already I was like HOW if I didn't even finish putting my phone Number.? she continued to say it did (she was lying ) and then I'm paying and shes like well I can scan your target app I said WHY? If it went in you should not have to scan it she's like it did go in already ofcourse she was lying because of my receipt it didn't say my point were added which I already knew that because I put 5 number in before I could finish she saw me typing it why would you bypass it I didn't even have my card in yet ? I'm not coming here I literally haven't left the house because of the corona virus and the ONE place I decide to go spend $60 is target and I'm not even allowed to type my number BS I'll go to Walmart from now on read more

This target sucks!! Ordered online but had to wait in line in customer service instead of just online pick up. Finally get up to front of the online and the rep directs me to wait in the online pick up line even though she was the one to direct me to the customer service line. Stupid and not efficient. Ended up waiting inline for 15 mins. What's the point of ordering online. Faster just to shop in store and wait in regular line Update: service is even worse. Tried the drive up service. Needed to change name is pick up person and couldn't do it on app so tried calling the store over course of 2 hours. No one freaking answers the phone at guest services! Tried the operator and no one answered. Finally got through to another department and they could only offer to give me the direct number if the guest series to which I responded "what good is that if they don't answer?!?" Finally got ahold of a manger to resolve. Target Gardena you suck!! read more

Worst Target I've ever been to! This target gives all other targets a bad name. Customer service is horrible, not to mention they almost always have 2-3 registers open with long lines. I'm at the store right now it's 9:31pm they have 2 registers open with at least 10 customers in each line. I asked if they could open more registers and their response was "we don't have any more cashiers" so you mean to tell me all your floor staff doesn't know how to use a register? What about the managers!!! Ridiculous! read more

Kinea went beyond the three other employees I ask for assistance in my search for stamps. She walked with me and took the time to help as a customer service employee should do. I really appreciate her. She should be place as the best example in this store. Gardena target employees, please learn from Kinea. Everyone should be like her. P.s I hope I spelled her name right ! read more

Hmm.. I seem to always come here when I'm wearing red.. Biiig mistake! I spend half my time dodging other customers desperately wanting assistance.. Yea, you.. That's you wide eyed ear to ear smiling guy.. No, I do not know where the Giorgo Foreman grill nor do I know if we're having a sale on TP next week.. So after bobbing and weaving through empty aisles picking up my necessities like a ninja on a mission, ooh price drop on chocolate pretzels, gotta grab a couple of those, where was I? Ahh yes, Like a ninja.. So I grab everything off my list and suddenly realize how nice it is that everything I need in here in one store. From milk and eggs to windshield wipers, camping gear and that Glee DVD box set.. That truly is the beauty of Target. Great prices on everyday items, cotton tips to battleship one stop store.. Clean, organized and always well stocked.. You can find everything you need here, if you don't, just ask that guy in red.. Wait.. No.. Sorry, I don't work here, but yeah, the anti itch creams are one aisle over.. read more

I don't know why I still bother calling and hoping someone picks up. I created a baby registry with them and am currently 8 months pregnant. When you register you can stop by any target and receive a free welcome kit. I imagine it's just a small bag with some samples and coupons. I've gone to 2 targets so far and they don't have any. I called this one to see if I can get it, and no one ever answers. I guess it doesn't really matter but it's annoyingly that they tell you can get it when clearly you can't. read more

I'm a fan of Target and there are about 5 Targets near me but this location is within walking distance to my house. Ever since the remodel this Target has kept organized and clean. The $1 spot has some good quality merchandise and as an educator I appreciate their stock of school supplies and crafts. Target is my go-to store for almost everything...cleaning products, groceries, toys, electronics, dvd's, seasonal merchandise, etc. I don't buy many clothes or shoes there but sometimes they have cute stuff. Tip: Go online Target.com and print coupons because they have lots of good deals now! read more

I grew up in Torrance so I frequented the Torrance location pretty much since it opened. Once we moved to Gardena I was happy they had a Target for me to waste money at (seriously, I cannot walk out of here without buying 5+ things I didn't come in to buy). This Target is better stocked than most other locations because it doesn't get as packed. Don't let the parking lot intimidate you, the cars are there and the lot is full, but the store itself is quite empty. They have a better selection of clothes and accessories because it seems as if no one buys clothes at this location. Sweet!! Most other Targets always sell out of XS/S, but they always have my size here :D What I hate about this location is that they don't sell the detergent, fabric softener, and fabric sheets I like. They stock their inventory with brands I don't use- the Mexican brands & crappy Gain. Argggh!!! That shit itches my skin- gimme my Tide w febreeze and Downy fabric softener!! They never carry my scents either (I'm extraordinarily picky about my detergent scents bc I'm sensitive to certain smells). Also, even though the location is empty inside, expect to wait at least 5 mins in any line. They always have only a few registers open with loooong lines extended out each of them. Bleh. I'll keep coming back because they are always stocked w stuff. Ghetto ftw! read more

Yelp needs to give the option of deducting stars. Went in yesterday to do our normal Target run. What went wrong? * The baby section and toy section are in full on ghetto looting mode. Diapers were half stocked, not a size 6 to be found. When I asked a store employee why she said they were downsizing? What? * Items not on shelves, stock laying on the floor - just cluttered as can be *Use a price scanner to find out if that item really is on sale in that mess they call a toy aisle, no because they are broken. * I love spending close to $300 and then get stopped on the way out like I'm a criminal. Yes because I was seriously trying to flee with a pack of diapers. The clientele at this location leaves much to be desired but I suppose that's not Target's fault. The employees don't fare much better either. read more
