Target Optical: Outsourced incompetence I took two pair of frames I already owned - one of them quite expensive for me - and both that I loved - to Target Optical to have a new prescription inserted. I was called that "Both frames were returned, and they couldn't put the lenses into the frames. One of the screws was hard to replace." They offered to "give me a frame out of their store" - which I already knew I wouldn't like - but would allow them to keep the $700+ for the lenses. To my surprise, when I picked up the frames, they had been rendered unrepairable and unusable- the screws on BOTH sides of the expensive frames had been destroyed, and attempts at replacing them resulted in the disfigured photos below. I grabbed the frames and left - I don't even know if they had the lenses that had been in the frames - but, of course, it wouldn't matter as the frames are no longer usable. I highly recommend you do not use Target for lense replacements, give this level of technical incompetence. read more

I tried to try clothes on for an event that I had the next day and walked up to the counter at 8:10 pm and the friend who I was with literally walked out as I was walking in and we could have just very quickly switched, but the three workers who were just standing around said they were closed. I looked it up and it said that most targets fitting rooms close an hour before close and this target closes at 11 pm so not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things but it was severely annoying to watch my friend walk out of a stall and then I get denied like 2 minutes after she goes in when the usual time of closing for target fitting rooms wouldn't have been for 2 hours read more

Emilia was the most sweetest Starbucks employee out of all the people who worked there, I had asked for a Carmel ribbon crunch frappe with strawberry drizzle and she gave me perfect amount of everything and she was quick read more

Leon was a wonderful cashier and went above and beyond! The customer in front of us had difficulties with coupons and the Target app along with a bunch of stuff. This took some time and Leon let us know, but we decided to wait. Once we paid he was very kind and even bagged everything for us. He then gave us a 5 dollar gift card for simply waiting. This was an amazing experience, give him a raise Target! read more

I was ready to check out, then realized my payment card was in my vehicle. Cora (monitoring the self-checkout area that was full by herself) told me "no problem" (with a smile) and to go ahead and retrieve it, while she looked after my full cart. This was great customer service! Makes a difference nowadays! read more

I mean who doesn't love target lol, cute clothes, Starbucks, food and what ever the heck else you need . Super glad we have one pretty close to campus! read more

Love a good target drive up. Super fast at both filling the orders, multiple because I'm the worst, and getting them out to me. Thanks!

I ordered a pick up order, a few moments before picking up my order they notified me that certain items were not in stock. It was ranch and sourdough bread. I thought I would pick up some extra things I forgot... what do you know, while shopping I found the SAME EXACT ranch i asked for as well as the bread. Not joking when I say these people are shopping with their eyes closed. There was plenty of ranch bottles that I asked for, same for the bread. Don't order a pick up order from here it's just not worth it. read more

How can you not love Target?? It is an amazing store. I have never had a bad experience at this store and I love to shop here. We are lucky in Lawrence because we have a SuperTarget and their grocery store is pretty awesome. There is a wide selection of food and their store brand- Archer Farms- is terrific. They always have a wide selection of produce and deli foods. Everything is gleaming fresh and so flavorful. They have so many items that you cannot get in any other store in town. This store is well laid out, easy to navigate and sparkling clean. The bathrooms are spic and span and you can tell they are proud of their workplace. There is always someone around to help and I have never had to wonder the aisles hoping in vain for assistance. From the electronics to the clothing section.. Target has it going on. I love the brands they carry and, again, the fact that they have unique items. The stationary and cards they stock are oh-so-cute. They also have a well stocked kitchen and housewares section. Recently, they have added a section of items under $5.00. There are tons of goodies to find here, too. The sales at Target cannot be beat, either. They had their Halloween products on sale at 80% and I mopped up. Great items well discounted. I also like the fact that they use the Target RedCard. If you have one, you get like 5% off your purchases. How can you go wrong with these deals?? Silly me.. I also love the HUGE red cement balls they have in front of the store...so playful and happy. read more

I went through trying to buy an item but their self check out machines started lagging really badly. So i stead of purchasing everything and getting the gift cards for something I bought their systems shut down and I wasn't able to get them. Along with that in severely disappointed in their plus size section for swim suits. AKA there were absolutely none. read more

First time i ever shopped there; wow what a clean store; and the grocery section; all the shelves are stocked fully; unlike the crappy Walmarts in that town. I was asked by the employees if i needed any help which was nice; as you never hear that from any Walmart employees. I give 5 stars to target; as it seems they have excellent management and employees. I will be back. read more

I have to give props to a store where they are actively trying to do their part with population control. I went into this store with my boyfriend's children so that they could pick out one toy each. As we approached the toy section, i heard them. The crying baby dolls. Only they didn't sound like they were crying for something as simple as nourishment or comfort. No, they sounded like a chorus of screaming banshees, moaning loons, and starving coyotoes. It was truly disturbing. So, fine, avoid the baby doll aisle, right? NOPE. Know why? They are placed strategically across from the entire line of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars! Brilliant, no? This is all very subtle, but in a time when 10 and 11 year olds are procreating, we have Target to thank for doing their part in helping to make such trends obsolete. My boyfriend's three year old son all but wanted to high tail it out of there, and quickly made his choice of car after looking dubiously at the dolls and asking why they were like that. "That's how real babies sound sometimes, sweetie," I said, certain now that my boyfriend wouldn't be a grandfather in 7 or 8 years. And while we're at it, I should mention that his 7-year-old girl sister was also similarly horrified and wanted nothing to do with the display of doll babies for sale. I have to wonder if they actually SELL any of these awful wailing creatures? No matter, they can keep that display up until the cows literally come home--there are several cow pastures within walking distance, this IS Kansas! (Or, until Walmart buys out Target in 15 years). I have to wonder, if the kids who actually PICK OUT such "toys," are just gluttons for punishment? If so, I think it's some kind of fucked up Darwinism at work here and just now, while writing this Yelp review, I am feeling that Target may, in fact, be hatching some kind of evil plot. read more

I'm a new mommy to be and today I called the target here and got a really nice person at the guest services. I want to say for all new mom's to call guest services about the baby bag and leaving a call back number because they are needing to get the stock back because there system is acting up. read more

Nice, big Super-Target convenient to KU, which was important to us on this day. Got everything we needed, fair prices, fast-enough counter service. In and out and as painless as college move-in can possibly be. I love Target when they're LGBT-friendly (as they often are) and hate them when they donate money (as they sometimes do) to anti-equality people, which doesn't affect my rating, but just gonna throw it out there, in case the CEO is reading this. read more

This morning I called into guest services to have them set back a product for me that was just released. I was so excited to call and find out that they had TWO items left of this product in stock. I asked for them to set these back for me as I was going to purchase for a friend and I. The girl verified my name and told me she will have them sat back for me. For some reason I had a feeling I should call the store to make sure these were set back as this is a 30 min drive from where I live. When I called, an associate answered and put me on hold to then tell me that they are out of stock. I told her I called at 9 to have them put these items back for me and they verified they would and that I had until tomorrow to pick them up. I am so livid at the fact that either, they didn't check their inventory on the shelf before they verified they would set it back, they sold the item to someone who had come in, or they just straight up didn't do their job. I would be even more mad if I had driven all that way to the Lawrence Target to be told this in person. To top it off, the girl on the phone had no remorse, then hung up on me. read more

Good nice people but almost too pushy at the register... Like they really really tried to make us get the red card or something. I mean seriously no means no! But other than that I love shopping here they have everything I need and more. read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

I'm a single mother undergoing chemotherapy and target completely screwed up my only grocery delivery order and then refused to fix it--pushed it off on another company called "Shipt" whose delivery driver harassed me by text! unbelievable! I will never shop at target again. Not another dime. read more

This place is great. Clean facilities. Helpful and polite staff. For some reason, their prices are even cheaper too (than west coast target stores). I wouldn't necessarily come here for specialty goods, but it's a great place to stock up on the essentials. I especially like their Starbucks on site -- the staff were super nice. read more

I'm sorry, I know it's a major chain, but Lawrence's Target is really one of the major places I shop. For clothes. Dude. One Star Jeans. Jonathan Saunders. Mossimo Black sweaters. It's getting to the point that not a day goes by when I'm not wearing something from Target. Yes, they have some really low quality schwag. They also have great quality, really cute stuff. You have to sort through, but that's fine. And Lawrence doesn't have an H&M or a Forever 21. So Target. I said it. I swear by it. read more

Look, no company, no store, is perfect. But Target is the best in its class nationwide, by far. They pay and treat their people halfway decently and they are clearly happier, more helpful, and more knowledgeable than the drones at Walmart. No I don't get groceries here. I rarely buy clothes here anymore. Yes, their product quality with anything made of cloth has gone downhill. Gone are the days of the seriously waterproof gym bag I bought for $20 a decade ago and still have. It's still a very good place to go for cheap but solid housewares and electronics, all the little things that make a house a home. Just recently I got a 12 inch cast iron skillet for $20, and not a cheap Chinese one that probably has lead in it, a LODGE. A freaking Lodge skillet for $20! There's no way I was passing that up, especially since I've wanted a good cast iron forever. That was $4 less than Amazon, even before shipping. Oh and a really nice toaster for $10 off.(what can I say I like bagels) Usable silverware for $11. And 5% off all that on top- Target Card. What really gets the 5th star though is that Target of all places finally solved my whole smartphone debacle. (See my review for Credo Mobile) I heard that they carry phones now so I went to check it out. I talked to Josh, their cell phone expert, who patiently listened to my problem and gave me honest advice on how to solve it, something no one else would do. He even pointed out much better earbuds (Skull Candy $8! No kidding!) AND not only told me that I would need an SD card upgrade but that I could get it for like half off from Amazon. He easily could have sold me one from Target but he instead went out of his way to save me $25. Now that is above and beyond. At this point forget Best Try or Radio Shack. If I'm looking for consumer electronics I'll just go back to Target. They aren't really any more expensive than anyone else (Walmart doesn't count- I don't buy junk that will just break in three months.) and they won't jerk me around. read more

Basic target store. Little hard to find what I was looking for (sign pointed me in the wrong direction), but I managed to get in and out pretty quick. read more

I don't realize how awesome the Lawrence Target Superstore is until I go to other Targets in other towns. Would be 5 stars if the superstore sold booze. read more

We have been fans of Target until the most recent update with this store In Lawrence. Go every week and find nice items to buy at good prices. The only issue we have is of overly loud background music being played through the music system. Quiet background music is nice however when you are hearing music which makes it hard to concentrate on what items you are buying and need it is not a pleasant experience. Music is great for it's value but not to disrupt the reason for a store to sell merchandise . The new store look in 2020 looks nice but there are many buyers who are not looking for an entertainment experience at a store. read more

Least helpful staff I have ever encountered. The lady helping us was extremely rude, treated us like dirt. Instead of explaining why we couldn't purchase and item that was in front of us she spitefully yelled that we couldn't get them. I have never been treated so poorly. I am extremely disappointed. read more

I have been a Walmart shopper all of my life and switched to Target January 1st. One of the best changes I have made as everything is the food I buy is close to Walmart is price but better quality. This is true for housewares and cleaning supplies. The clothes are of course more expensive but worth it as the quality is so much better. Their workers are great people and smile as you walk by. I am impressed by this store. I use the pharmacy also and have got great service from them. read more

I don't think people realize how *lucky* we are in Lawrence to have not just a Target store, but a *Super*Target! Not to mention that this store was the second SuperTarget store to open nationwide (now there are well over 300 stores!). SuperTarget is so special because it features a full grocery selection, fresh produce, a bakery and deli - I love one stop shops! Not to mention it's from Minnesota ;) Enjoy this SuperTarget because it's a rarity! read more

Item not priced when I got to check out. Left it there - $60 clothes steamer they couldn't sell me because they hadn't priced it. Of course it was well marked w a large advertised size in the aisle. Employees stocking aisles in the middle of a Saturday?!?! Guy going out to get carts walked right by me as I was returning it. Made me walk another 100ft to park it the corral read more

If I absolutely, totally, definitely need to go to a chain department store, this is the one I pick. Plenty of options, clean, and I love Target's style versus its competitors. Sure, it's slightly more expensive than the biggest name on the block, but even still, I'd rather go here than there. read more

Why would you take all of the bag hooks off of the bathroom doors? Super inconvenient and there doesn't seem to be a real reason why it needed to happen. read more

I bought a lot of food there on my first move in trip. I moved from Minneapolis to Lawrence and went there to get a whole bunch of stuff. Every food item I bought was already expired. Cottage cheese, milk, everything. The store was incredibly unorganized and outdated. Target was founded in Minneapolis and the headquarters are in Minneapolis as well. So maybe all my years shopping at Target in Minneapolis has spoiled me. The stores there are immaculate and just amazing. Not sure: but really hope the Lawrence Target does not represent the target nationwide. read more

I love Target. I also like having a Super Target never having lived around one. The store is clean and the workers are generally friendly...though some of the younger ones at the cash register don't really know what to do around my talkative and energetic children (but to be honest..when I was their age...I was annoyed with all children so i can't hold it against them). The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I'm being an aesthetic snob: First of all, the Super Target logo outside looks like Christmas (oh you know what I mean) but that's what corporate has chosen..so I can't hold that against them either. But what I do hold against the Lawrence one is that the inside just seems so small and is really lacking in items. I realize that this is the second Super Target ever to be constructed, but please expand. I used to live in Grand Rapids, MI and the Grandville Target (granted its new) is what I have been used to. Its humongous (or at least feels that way) and it has a great deal more stock I don't need to purchase but do because Target. read more

their gift exchange policy is one of the worst. The clothes are WAY OVER PRICED for kids. I can find better clothes at a cheaper price at J c Penny. Got a Christmas gift from target. I know that it came from target cause the tag has target on it. When i called they said just bring it in and we will issue a gift card, I thought great cause i have a toddler very much in need of some warm shoes. I had called the store twice to double check the return policy. I just need to bring the items in. Well when you get there it is a Whole another story. They want your id too. Which would have been fine but i was Not told that i needed an id both of the times i called and talked to customer service, i called to let them know that i did not even have a gift receipt. The gifts were donated to us and 2 different clerks told me the same thing"well since you did not buy the item just bring it in for a gift card. I asked if i needed anything else, they said no. the items that were given to me and my son were nice gifts and i'm thankful that someone thought of us, but my son needs warm shoes much more desperately., than the items given to us. anywhere else would have let me exchange the items for a gift card, or just exchange out for other merchandise I was not asking for them to HAND OVER CASH WITHOUT a RECEIPT, i was just wanting a gift card or just to let me get some boots for my son. I wasted gas, I have a disability that makes it hard to get around, and its even harder when your child is autistic, and very hard to take to a store because they become overstimulated and then go into meltdown mode. single parent and noone to watch my son so i can make a trip to go shopping for things that are needed. Now i have shopped at target for a few things only cause other stores were out or it was extremely a marked down product on sale. I have always kept receipts on items i buy. But even when i have had the receipt (i bought a pre-paid cell phone) got home and it didn't work. Took it back the next day cause they were already closed. I still got treated badly life it was my fault the product was defective and they tried to rush me and not let me ask questions like should i get a different model? is the one i bought known for having defects. this was NOT DURING A HOLIDAY SEASON, SO THE BEING RUSHED AND TREATED RUDLY IN THE ELECTRONIC DEPARTMENT WAS UNNESSARY. I have NO clue why anyone would want to shop at target, When i have seen better prices at Kohls and JcPenny for clothes. Dillons grocery store is considered CHEAP compared to Targets grocery prices. read more

I recently applied to this particular store. I am not upset that the job was filled by someone else because i have multiple other interviews this week even. After seeing the dirty back room, lack of professionalism, and mayhem that the interview process entailed I questioned my wish to work here. I was hopeful the experience would be better than I expected. Applying for a higher level job meant more competition, so on being informed that the job had been taken I decided to call back and see if a basic job was still available. I talked to the person in charge of hiring and was told that if I didn't receive the one particular job, he didn't think I would be qualified for any job in the store. Keep in mind I did not even mention my name, so he had no idea who I was. If this store can't treat people who have an interest in becoming an employee with respect, then how do you think they will treat the customers? Look at some of the other reviews on the employees. My advice? Don't expect professionalism here. read more
