Um, my 3 stars is SOLELY based on the inventory here. They just have so few items at this location... maybe I'm spoiled having lived near Alhambra and Burbank targets in the past. This target reminds me of a small target often found near college campuses. read more

I hesitate coming to this Target because every time I ask for a product that is locked up (cleansers, pimple patches, etc), the associates that come to assist always act like I am severely inconveniencing them. Today, an associate slammed the case in my face. Mind you, I wasn't being indecisive or rude-- I knew exactly what I wanted and said my please and thank yous. Truly, as a customer, I don't want any of the products locked up either! Your company chose to lock it up. Don't let it out on the wrong people! read more

I enjoy that this target isn't too large and has all the essentials, it makes for a quick easy trip. David was very kind and helpful! He brought me more bags when the self checkout ran out and he restocked the lane for future customers. Really great experience! Thank you read more

This location has a sign up that new hours end daily at 5pm beginning Jan 13. This location used to be open until 10pm as the permanent sign proudly still states. My special needs daughter lost all her belongings and her home when her rented home burned to the ground in Altadena from the Eaton Canyon fire We came today to buy her some things to help her feel better. It is hard for her to understand and process how everything could just vaporize. She asks me, "Where did my bed go?" The store may be having problems getting enough staffing as i would think some of their employees also lost their homes At the same time, this is the time we need Target to rally to help, not close early Target is a national company. Corpirate needs to step up. People here need their local Target right now read more

Target - The Circle is broken. - Department Stores Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

Frustrating in-store experience, inconsistent policies. Every time I try to price match, employees insist on using their internal version of the app -- and somehow, the prices are always higher than what I see on the public Target app. It feels like they assume I'm trying to game the system, when all I'm doing is asking for the same price listed on their own website. This has happened multiple times, and it's really frustrating. At this point, I'll just order directly through the app and skip the in-store hassle. I've also never seen Pokémon cards in stock for years, because they don't enforce the "2 per customer" rule -- so people just wipe out the shelves the moment a restock happens. And with the Switch 2, it's never once been available in-store since release. Meanwhile, they're still selling the original Switch at full price, even though it's been outdated for a while now. Today, I saw "Pokemon Snap" for Nintendo Switch in the clearance section. A game I've been waiting to be on sale. When I scanned it using an in-store price checker it just said "ask employee". When I asked an employee and they scanned it, he said $59.99 despite it being placed in front of a $39.99 price tag. I double checked the price when I got home at this location and it says $44.99 (when purchased online but they always give my fiancé the online price). Even the employee who scanned it looked confused because it was clearly off the clearance shelf. What is that about??? To top it off, the bathroom always reeks -- it's genuinely unpleasant every time. It just feels like the store isn't keeping up, whether it's policy enforcement, product availability, or basic cleanliness. The app is more reliable at this point. read more

(Shopped 10/24/23 TU @ 9:30am... a couple times before): I "targeted" the former Sport Chalet main store for some quick random household shopping! I honestly couldn't say why it took me so long to finally visit Target's La Canada Flintridge location in my hometown backyard area. This particular storefront has been open for several years, and I've driven by it countless times, and I've even stopped by many times at the surrounding businesses. On these three recent visits, the occasions were strictly for household items with the exception of one of my favorite treats. This particular location was definitely of the neighborhood variety specific to the surrounding area. Would I continue to stay on target now that I've had a taste of it!? PURCHASE Mint Oreo + Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo 1lb. Package ea. ($3.50 x2), Yogi Elderberry Lemon Balm Immune Stress Tea Bags 16ct. ($4.69), SoftSoap Antibacterial Fresh Citrus Refill Hand Soap 50floz Bottle ($6.29), Oxi Clean Stain Remover 21.5floz Bottle ($4.49): I came in for soap and stain remover, but somehow my beloved Oreos and tea brand also ended up in my shopping basket (ummm... these items were on sale) - dammit! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GTbzyycmfNnvqUADpEM8CA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw OXO Softworks Customizable Silicone Sink Mats ($18.99 x2): Just as good as the previously-bought sink mat (see below), they were sold out of the cheaper one, so I was left with this option for another vacancy apartment. An inexpensive way to protect your investment! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=E7teFPI2n8C8dia-22s1YA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw OXO SoftWorks Sink Mats ($13.49 x2): These were finishing touches for a vacant apartment, these were great products to protect your kitchen sink from chips, dings, and scratches, We have to protect the investment! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xRofA_2yG-UfeJUtu4nCmQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE With the exception of a friendly staff member named Satchel who showed me where the stain remover was on this particular visit, I used the self-checkout line each time and quickly completed my business - booyah! PARKING (FREE) Located in the La Canada Flintridge Town Center, although I parked along the tiny Town Center Dr. street that ran through the shopping center, there were plenty of free spots onsite and across the street at the structures - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A one-story building as were all the neighborhood locations, the inventory was limited to the essentials, less options to choose from, and products geared more towards the given community. Upon entering, you smelled the aroma from the in-store Starbucks as you walked past the checkout area into a central clothing department, homegoods were on the far left, electronics and toys toward the back along with the grocery portion, with cleaners, toiletries, and the like along the far right of the store. Minimal and tasteful decorations abound to promote certain brands/items. Minimal natural lighting came through the multiple front windows and doors while plenty of soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs, but music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL La Canada Flintridge's Target location served its purpose on my three visits, and I would consider it again for a quick shopping trip. Obviously, it wasn't as robust as the standard locations which usually housed three stories of shopping experience. I liked how the store was never busy or crowded on my visits, and I was actually able to find what I specifically came in for. Generally speaking, all was fine with no issues to speak of. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $95.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Disrespectful racist so called manager was denying me service trying to take away my items after I payed them with legal currency Target in La Cañada (965 Town Center Dr), I was just trying to buy milk and baby formula for my baby. The night manager, Mathew, takes my $100 bill, scans it, and says he can't take it 'cause the machine blinked red -- even though it turned green right after. I give him another bill, same thing - green light, but he still says no. The whole time he's giving me nasty, racist looks, acting like I'm doing something shady. I explain and show him how to identify a bill as a worked in customer service and he proceeds to say my money is not legit When I try to take my own bag with me to pay, he grabs for it from my hands assaulting me so yeah, I snatched it back. After him saying I couldn't take the items I paid for with my legal tender bill so I Then take my bill I get my things again I go to self-checkout, use the same bills, and it works. I get my receipt/change go back to him, and he just says 'bye' and threatens to call the cops. Like just take the cash and put the items in the bag man , I'm just trying to feed my kid. Target, do better. What's upsetting isn't that he didn't just deny me service or my money it's the fact he straight up lied about the machine and my money caused a scene Infront of people making it seem like I had no money or my money wasn't good saying I needed to leave or pay with something else it's ridiculous and embarrassing being racially targeted by so called manager Mathew around 9pm to 10pm Wednesday night 10-29-2025 If this problem isn't addressed I will have to take further action read more

becoming more rude and toxic by the day ‼ cashier is tired and makes the customer know that they're annoyed because they're tired they send rude kids to grocery pick up who just walks away and does not say a word (a far cry from those with great upbringing and lets you know you're all set) security (s/he) treats you like a shoplifter--in your face staring at you while you check out and tap your phone then turns their back as if they don't want trouble in the end disgusted at how this place is deteriorating read more

I am stunned by how rude the service I experienced. After a long wait at the empty customer service counter, an unfriendly employee finally came and helped me briefly before telling me she had to leave in the middle of the process and went upstairs. After a long wait, I finally left and went to the cashier to see if I could find someone to finish my return and the other employee returned and was irritated and snapped, "I told you I was coming back!" and was then just angry with me. Why? Not going back. read more

This is actually the worst target I've ever been to. Nobody works here. Self checkout is NEVER open and then there's just one register open so if you wanna make a quick stop good luck. I stopped by after work yesterday because I needed a few things and it was on my way home and surprisingly self checkout was open! So I spent maybe 15-20 shopping with just a hand basket and when I went to checkout self checkout was no longer open at all and there was one single register open and a HUGE line. Probably would've taken 20 or so minutes to get through. This was at maybe 1:20pm or so. I set my hand basket down and left. Had to go to the target by where I live instead. Terrible terrible service. Hire some more f*cking people and get your sh*t together. This is a TARGET !!! For crying out loud. read more

Everything you need in one place. Groceries, staples, personal care items electronics. They donated gift cards to displaced victims.

There is no worse Target I'm almost certain! Besides the unorganized shelves and constantly out of stock items, the staff is probably the rudest group of misfits you could possibly find. Good luck checking out, these are the longest lines you'll ever find for the register and the self check out is closed. We all miss Sports Chalet. Hopefully this location will close and we'll get a Walmart! read more

Target - Sign of the times 2021 - Department Stores Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

Best Target ever. The store is smaller than a typical Target Store but it has a small sampling of what a larger store would have in inventory. However, the staff is extremly helpful and knowledgeable. We had a few contacts with staff - and - maybe it is just a feeling - but I mean that they employed an unusual high rate of people with minor disabilities, very kind people. If I am right, I salute Target for their kindness. And yes, they did exceed my expectations with an extraordinary clean and organised store, much nicer than the Eagle Rock one (which is much closer to our home) and as we are perfectly willing to make a detour: five stars. ---- Thanks for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who travels the world with the worlds greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones or Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked how people use their "power of word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all time favourite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "you give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree. So If I had the say on this portal, I would offer just to see ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this simply does not compare to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceeded my expectation. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Again, thank you for reading this. read more

This target gets the job done! Sure, its a smaller location but a few things stand out as "good" overall: - Located across the street from a parking structure, so finding a spot is never an issue - It's generally clean and well maintained - Occasionally they are low on stuff, but generally I find what I'm looking for. The exception to toilet paper, which I could find NONE of one time I tried - Small food section if you want to pick up some groceries quickly - Easy self-checkout option so you can get in and out quickly - Generally not crowded If you want a larger selection, head to another Target. But if you want to grab the essentials, and do so quickly, this Target gets the job done. read more

Customer service was terrible. Once we got to the service desk Bonnie explained in a very condescending way what unidentified meant. She also was very rude about what the price of an item was saying if we didn't know the price she couldn't help us. I usually love Target but the experience I had was awful and don't recommend this one. read more

I've always had fantastic service at targets but this one has been the worst. Everyone seems so unhappy there, if you ask associates any questions they will not care to find the answer to them. I think what's worst is Them shutting the elevators down when people are still in the store, the elevator that leads directly to the top of their store where customers park their cars. Not sure if this guy was a manager or lead but he told me I couldn't use the elevator seeing that I had a stroller and a cart with items and apparently the elevator was out of service. I asked what other way I can go up and he told me the stairs, not an escalator but STAIRS, so I asked him if he was going to carry my child with my stroller up the stairs and guess what he did? He opened the elevator and said he had turned them off. read more

Yes, this is one of those smaller format (I think they used to be called 'City' Target locations housed in the former Sport Chalet headquarters in La Cañada. That being said, if I want a larger selection, I would head over to the Pasadena location on Colorado near Lake Ave. This location is where I go for basic groceries and essentials. I don't understand reviewers who complain about the size and selection here. Perhaps Target needs to reconsider their decision to drop the 'City' identifier, or find a way to educate customers unfamiliar with the Weird Wide World of Retail. LOL. This is a very easy Target to shop in, because of its small size and edited assortment. Parking is never a problem and I agree with another reviewer who suggested parking on the top deck of the the garage. I found the restrooms clean on this visit-in fact an associate was cleaning them during my visit. I had earned reward money with my Target account that I wanted to apply to my purchase. I used the Self Checkout line as i only had 3 items. However, the register system wasn't cooperating. I did have to wait a bit longer than I expected for help, about 7 minutes by my estimate, but the store was relatively busy and it was late in the evening. The first associate did her best to figure out why my reward money wasn't applying to the transaction. I appreciated her patience and tenacity (but i did not get her name) She went and got a supervisor who quickly decided it was best to issue me a gift card for the amount I was trying to apply to my groceries. I found I had to manually enter the Access code but once I did that, and paid my balance due, I was able to leave satisfied. I have had similar issues with this rewards earned/apply to purchase at a couple of the other Target locations i use. Perhaps there is a glitch in the system. Regardless, the two associates were friendly and helpful. read more

Legit the worst target location I've ever been! I work around the area and had to kill some time between classes. First of all there is one measly rack fro dolls spot which is a HUGE must check out spot for most target shoppers. The workers are extremely rude, and un engaged. I was in the self checkout and there were no bags. I asked a dude who was passing by and he pointed to the bags on the other side of the room near the cash registers. Thanks bud, I meant are there any HERE in SELF CHECKOUT! There are a bunch of things on clearance that are "online returns" and there was a lot of things mixed up and when I would check them for a price it would say not in stock or not in the system. This target has really get their shit together. I decided to grab a drink from Starbucks before heading out. There was literally NO ONE else in line. I placed my order and was told they couldn't put it in the reusable cup cause of COVID. Understandable. So I then ask where the restrooms are. He then like a robot in a monotone voice, points at the back. I ask him if I can leave my cart there so I can use the restroom. He tells me that if the employees see it they will take it. I explain it's already paid for but I don't want to have to log 3 bags into the bathroom. He says in the most surfer dude accent that he can't watch it because he's by himself. I ask him if he can make me my drink by the time I get back because at this point I've paid and he still hasn't started. He says yes and I go to the bathroom. I come back grab my drink and just see security and another employee chatting it up while a teen walks by them without paying for their items. Never again. Target always makes me happy but this one is as tacky as Walmart. read more

The target at the la canada location has the worst service. Staff is short and rude, self checkout does not work, checkout lines are ridiculously long, and the design is confusing with no proper line formation instructions. In short, it is chaotic and annoying. So if I need to buy just milk, I have to wait 15 mins to pay. You are going to have fights and a problem soon if you don't fix it. Or just close it down if you can't handle it. read more

What is going on at this Target location? Self checkout is always closed, only 2 cashiers and a line that goes all the way through the store. It takes more than 30 minutes to wait in line. Do they not want this store anymore? I went to the Starbucks there and she said, I have 4 drinks to make so you probably don't want to order anything because I'm gonna take a while. I just left. read more

So due to the fact that I triplets and I live in the area I am forced to use this trash store. Every time I order stuff for triplets and go to pick it up the boxes are damaged or so so dirty as if they pull the stuff out of the trash.

I came to this Target in La Canada to purchase an item that was locked away behind a case. After about 10 minutes, I finally got an employee to open the case for me so that I could retrieve the item (crest white strips). After picking up the item, she made me hand it over to her and told me to pick it up at one of the registers after I was done shopping. I asked her to give it to the first cash register so I know where it would be. Instead of saying okay, she gave me a surprised and annoyed look, but ultimately agreed to my request. At the time, I didn't say anything, but after having some emotions about it, I realize that I felt totally offended. I can't for the life of me believe that Target in La Canada is having every single customer pick up their items at a register. I just came back from traveling to wonderful places in Europe only to have to come back to a little town in Los Angeles to deal with racism. Terribly offensive even if they are now resorting to this to save a few bucks. Instead of shopping at this store, I can stay home and shop online in peace. read more

Probably the worst Target known to man. Every time I come here it I find a new reason to hate it. Even though the store is huge, they never seem to have the same amount or options as other Targets do, or they are often out of stock of many items. Additionally they are significantly understaffed, I've had multiple experiences having to wait a very long time to even find someone. Especially bad in the tech department, seems like only one person works in that corner, which is ridiculous. But one particular occasion really set it in stone that this is THE WORST TARGET EVER. I was checking out and needed to do 2 transactions. The second transaction had only one item (buying for someone else with their card). The cashier accidentally rang it up, and when I reminded him he simply had me charge the item separately in the "same transaction" and had me charge the rest right after. He also manually changed the price on this one item. I held my card up to the reader, it beeped and said "payment accepted". Standard. So tell me why the cashier says to me the transaction didn't go through and we have to ring EVERYTHING up again. I trust this guy so I say sure. I go home to find that both transactions had gone through on my card with "Pending" underneath. I knew that the first transaction had indeed gone through. So I go back to the Target to solve the problem. The cashier doesn't know how to look up the transaction on the computer. A second guy tells me that I'll have to ring it up again, be charged, and then have THAT transaction returned to me (which makes absolutely zero sense), or saying I have to come back BEFORE NOON the next day or the transaction will "disappear" whatever that means. And a THIRD man named RYAN at the front door butts in and tells me that because it's pending it won't actually go through and that it "didn't go through on [his] end" so I should be patient, wait a few days and it will be resolved. Note that Ryan had continued to interrupt me, not let me speak my piece, and had stepped in multiple times while the other two tried to actually help me. In the end they offered me a $5 gift card for my troubles, and could not refund me because they had been pending on my account, and Ryan reassured me multiple times that the first transaction would not get charged to my account. WELL GUESS WHAT RYAN?! BOTH the transactions ended up going through!!! The exact OPPOSITE of what he promised would happen. I was charged TWICE!! I ended up calling my bank to get it resolved instead of going down to that Target a third time, although I wished I could've rubbed it in Ryan's face how utterly wrong and rude he was. Hopefully he finds this. Thanks for mansplaining how wrong you were to me. read more

I've been wishing for a Target in my area for years and now my dreams have come true! It's in the former Sport Chalet building in the Town Center shopping center (which was the "new" Sport Chalet building, still miss the old classic building on Foothill). It's the small-format Target which is actually probably better and more efficient. Maybe now I won't drop $100 every time I set foot inside a Target! Anyway, this will be awesome for residents in the area who otherwise would have to traipse over to Pasadena or Eagle Rock for dish soap and deals on coffee. Plentiful parking in structures nearby. read more

So happy to have a Target nearby !!! Thank God for you ! This store is one of the nicer Targets and extremely organized and clean. It's also the smallest Target I've ever been to. So I conducted a little experiment. I went to see if they had a selection for black hair and to my surprise they did! Wow !! Shea Moisture, Cantu, and Carol's Daughter on deck ! Impressive ! This Target has a little of everything. I was so excited. They may be a smaller store but they got something for everybody. Now I can save myself a few minutes. Mom's all over the area are happy ! read more

This target is never crowded and has a lot of clothes for a super good value. You can also buy groceries or food here and they have some really good ice cream cakes for birthdays or holidays. There is a Starbucks inside as well and they have a lot of different goods that you can choose from for a relatively good value. I also really like the self check out option and there are lots of helpful staff milling around the store. They recently opened their fitting rooms as well which are super clean and very well-maintained. There is lots of parking space here and it's almost never crowded. You can park right in front of the store and it is super convenient. read more

This particular Target location in La Cañada is one of my favorites since it is close to little restaurants and other shops in the plaza adjacent to it. I recently visited in the early morning in hopes that I'd snag one bottle of Lysol wipes, but unfortunate the shipment showed up and I never saw that aisle stocked up...and I visited multiple times that morning. Otherwise, the store is easy to navigate through since it's only on one floor. I love grabbing some of my favorite skincare and makeup products and trying new snacks and beers. Convenient area and great efforts at maintaining social distancing and sanitation. PARKING Available for free in the outdoors or structured lots read more

Rude, disrespectful staff! Come to this Target if you like pain. I've been to this location twice, and each time encountered bad behavior from employees who have forgotten that their paychecks are paid by their customers. There's Cory who likes to point and bark at you that what you're looking for is "in the back, over there". Instead of politely showing you or giving more specific directions. There's Angela, who rolled her eyes because I was standing 7 feet, instead of 6 feet from the next customer in line, then mumbles into her mask and sways her head side to side to imply I am wrong. What is wrong with these people? And, please, don't use the pandemic as an excuse for being frazzled and tired because the team at Trader Joe's - less than a mile from this Target location - is fantastic. They have 5 times the volume of work and customers every. single. day. than Target L.C. and each time, the TJ crew is consistently friendly, polite and helpful. In the end, it's the Target Store Manager who is accountable and I ask: Why does your staff consistently exhibit poor customer service? read more

Quite possibly the worst Target I've been in. Parking situation stinks. Shelves are never stocked and it takes forever to get checked out.

Staff here is rude. Very small operation compared to other Target stores. They are very close to my residence, but I avoid coming here for the lack of stock and poor customer service. read more

Not my favorite Target (because there isn't much to browse). It is very small but I guess you come here and get straight to the point (unlike the other Targets like the one on Lake were you can browse forever and ever). This Target is convenient because you can do a quick in and out. Parking is ample and it is located across from a very busy stores/restaurants including Home Goods, Sakura, Panera, and the Habit to name a few. It is super organized and clean- probably the nearest one I have ever been too. Staff is always friendly. This Target isn't super busy either so you don't wait in long lines or bump carts down the aisles. It is a very calm shopping experience. I definitely do not overspend here so that's a plus. Sometimes you can find good items on clearance (I found some cute booties for 17$). read more
