I can't even give it one star that's how bad this store is. I only stopped here because my favorite store Walmart didn't have what I was looking for. The only registers that were open were the self checkouts. The lines waiting were so long. Where was the store manager to oversee the people waiting and complaining standing in line with 2 or 3 items while people at the checkouts had baskets full of items. I couldn't wait any longer so I left my item on a counter and walked out. I will go to Clark next time since they have managers over seeing their staff. read more

On January 31, 2018 I visited the Target in Linden, NJ. I was treated in a way that I would have never thought I would experience as a hardworking, loyal target customer. The level of hurt and embarrassment I experienced yesterday almost brought me to tears. On 12/19/17 I purchased my daughter an Apple watch from Target as a Christmas gift. The watch has not been holding a charge. The return date on my receipt is dated for 1/24/18. Because it was only the 31st, I decided to check if they would at least honor an exchange. While waiting in line with the watch in my hand, the Customer Service Rep Brian stared at the entire time. As an African American, I know that look, we all do. It seemed he thought I was up to no good, but I tried to be positive and hoped he wouldn't give me any trouble. When I get to the register, I asked him to look up my transaction with my target credit card. Another associate by the name of Robinson automatically started saying, "We can't look up any transactions using a target card". I have had plenty transactions looked up with my debit card and my target card that is one of the reasons I love Target, because if I lose my receipt you have that amazing system that is not offered in many other stores. So that was very strange. I asked since when has this policy changed and he looked at me with a blank stare? I started to dig around in my bag for the receipt hoping that it was in my wallet, and miraculously Brian starts to attempt to find my transaction with my card. Instead of scanning the UPC barcode, he scans the serial number barcode. I used to work in retail for years; I would think he would know which code to scan. He then says, you didn't buy that here, it's no transaction found. At this time I locate my receipt and show him that I made the purchase with my target card and the last four digits of the card and receipt matched. Also the matching serial number for the apple watch was on the receipt. As if I wasn't already embarrassed enough by Brian and Robinson's treatment, another associate by the name of Joanna walks from around the customer service desk and comes back with a Loss Prevention associate by the name of Jenny. Before even assessing the situation, Jenny comes over yelling you can't return this, you didn't buy it from here. I was so insulted because she brought LP over without knowing the facts of the situation, and automatically assumed that I stole the watch? To be racially profiled in a store with a minority demographic is ridiculous. We are the ones who patronize this store, but either way it was disrespectful, embarrassing and so hurtful. I showed my receipt and target credit card they still tried to tell me I didn't purchase the item from the store. What more proof of purchase do you need when you have the credit card, box and UPC barcode matching? When I ask for the manager, Jenny tells me no, she handles all situations like this. I asked are you a manger? IF NOT PLEASE CALL ME A MANGER. When the manager Christopher came over he looked at my receipt and processed an exchange without any problems. If he would have said it passed the return policy I would have understood that but to be accused of theft when you have proof of purchase is unacceptable. I am not sure what we can do to rectify this situation, but I need to be sure that it is elevated but your associates cannot continue to mistreat the customers who keep the doors open. When I got in my car, my 8 year old son asked me "mommy, why did they treat us like that"? That was the worst part of the situation because I had to explain to my baby with a lump in my throat, on the brink of crying, why we were discriminated against. I would like to be contacted about this situation. read more

Recently this location upgraded to a 'Super Target' of sorts, which included a complete makeover and the addition of produce. And all of this is for the better. Linden was hardly a bad looking Target before the redesign but now it looks much more vibrant (unless you hate the color red-- in that case why are you even here?!) and fresh. Speaking of fresh, they added in the new produce aisle (located where the electronics department was). While it obviously won't blow away the selection of ShopRite right down the complex, it has all the vital stuff, plus some, and it has the added bonus of being ridiculously overcrowded like the aforementioned store. Prices more-or-less seems to be on par with other places. Add those two points, plus the pretty solid food court and Target's excellent stock of items at pretty good prices, you should have no reason not to shop here. read more

If there's a choice this is place would be given a negative 5 star rating. This place made all the impossible became possible. Place is infested with flies. I know that its summer and all but it all in feared in flies my pasta from pizza hut and the disgusting chairs that sticks to your clothing, its like they don't clean the place. Shoe marks everywhere every time I come and its that same spot all the time. Not to mention the unprofessional support that the staff gave. read more

This target is a disaster, every time I've come in for the past 2 years it is always a mess. Poorly stocked and shelves are filled it random items as if the shelf hasn't been reorganized in months. Just go to the other box store that starts with a "W" down the road read more

well stocked, good selections, lines tend to be a bit long

Do not upgrade your phone in this store. They offer great deals on I-phone trade-ins, but you find out two days later that your phone plan rate increases. This is not mentioned at the kiosk. After complaining the representative apologized promised to help and did nothing. Target takes no responsibility for this. read more

good deals on tv and food snacks. my kids got enough box tops which they can go on a class trip. prices are very comparable to walmart

I took my children aged 3 and 3mos to get Holiday pictures taken. When I scheduled the appointment I told them the age of the children and the occasion. When I arrived for the sitting, the photographer they gave me was inexperienced with children of those ages and the poses she wanted them to make put my 3month old at risk for falling. The photographer had an attitude when my 3month old soiled his diaper in the middle of the sitting. I decided to change his diaper while my older son took his pictures (he's an easy going, loves to smile and take pictures kind of child.) When I returned the supervisor had an attitude because I left my older son and she was in the middle of training two new employees. The manager had to help this inexperienced girl with the sitting and put her work on hold. The two trainees were not approachable and didn't even greet us when we arrived. During the sitting the phone rang and the manager had to stop assisting the photographer because the trainees were afraid to answer the phone. When it was time to view the pictures I refused to buy any of them because they did not show clear shots of my children's faces. The pictures showed the bottom of their shoes when they were asked to lay down, they were not centered and they captured the children when their faces weren't camera ready. The manager became angry and gave me an attitude when I told her I wanted to re-schedule to work with someone that has more experience. She became offended saying "I have been working for years." I replied, "you weren't the one behind the camera so it doesn't count." She asked me to leave the store. read more
