On a mission to visit every Target, we stopped by yesterday! The Downtown Sacramento location had some great Easter basket fillers for our 1 and 9 year old! We got candy, a coloring book and stuffies! Anyone else addicted to Target? Maybe it's the dollar section or Starbucks inside! Their book section is small, but either way we'll keep coming back to shop til we drop! SYOY! :D *Song Credit: Sunshine And Lollipops by Cool Hand Juke (from Audiio) read more

What a difference a week makes! On 17 October 2025, I posted that Sacramento's Midtown Target had permanently closed its restroom for customers. Its closing, I wrote, had been ordered by a Ms. Ashley who had just been named the store's new Director. A week later, on 21 October, I returned to Target Midtown -- and the customer restroom was open! It has remained open since, much to the relief not only of customers, but store employees who no longer must turn away people desperate for a restroom. What happened? According to one Target team member, who will remain anonymous, it came down to a lack of communications at the store at 1707 J Street. A day or two before my original posting, Ms. Ashley had introduced herself to Target Midtown's staff. Among other things, she told them she was committed to Target's policy of clean, open restrooms -- and that she would return in November to officially become the Director. Somehow, her words were misunderstood! Believing she had called for closing the customers' restroom, the employees immediately shut it down, when in fact, Ms. Ashley wanted it open! After reading my original posting a day or two after it appeared online, Ms. Ashley tracked down my email address. On 19 October, she sent me an email that said: "I apologize that you were denied access to Target's restroom during your (latest) shopping experience...You should expect to see the restroom open on your next trip into the store. Please reach out to me if that is not the case." In her email, Ms. Ashley indicated she had again spoken to top employees at Target Midtown to clarify matters. "I have reinforced the open-restroom policy with the leaders at the store who are running it until I report in November," she told me in the email. Ms. Ashley apparently found out abut the restroom crisis by reading my Yelp posting. Though I haven't met her, let me say it on the record: Ms. Ashley may be the best Director this Target has ever had. The employees respect her; they like her -- that's what they have told me. Thank you for reopening the restroom, Ms. Ashley! And thank you, Yelp, for posting my words. Target employees told me they, too, are glad the customers' restroom is open again. "It was really difficult to tell guests there no longer was a restroom for them," one Target Team member told me. In closing, I apologize for my delay in posting this follow-up, but I have been extremely busy. Thank you! read more

The smallest Target I have ever been in! Cute but had everything we needed! We easily parked on the roof, we're greeted by a friendly security guard, and we're able to walk the whole place in under a minute! We were looking for a men's belt and they had 2 kinds. There is self checkout. read more

Target - Furniture Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Target downtown Sacramento was exactly what we needed. We needed quite odd items. But they had them so that was great. It was convenient. There was parking on the street. There was parking right in front of the building. We were in we were out quickly. They also had a Starbucks inside, which they had this pink drink with Horchata in it as a sample that was very tasty. So yeah if you need a quick item or so definitely better than going to the big franchise stores. It is not as big as a regular target, although it had groceries, household items, personal items, everything you might need it was just the right size. read more

I finally was able to check out this little gem down the street from my job and it's adorable! Literally had all the things I needed from beauty and health to printer ink or home decor. Of course given its location it's not your average Target store. However, they carry quite a bit of items and still maintain the excellent customer service I love in Elk Grove. AND they managed to put in a Starbucks too!!! :) The reason for my quick visit today was for body wash and batteries. I was a little worried they wouldn't have one of the two but they did! Walking in, it reminds me a of a larger gas station convenience store. My walk in here was wrapped up fairly quick yet I would happily come back again for any of my necessities during my lunch break. Oh, they even have a grocery side. Looking to get ingredients for dinner? Check. Perhaps, goodies for your work's staff meeting? Target's got you! Not to mention, it's summer time so if you need some goggles for your kiddo they got you covered there too. Prices here are what I'd normally see in Elk Grove. No upcharge or anything weird like that. There are registers if you wish to get assistance from someone or self checkout. Whatever floats your boat! I will be back, probably on a weekly basis. LOL read more

not very good selection but cute! service was pretty litty and I felt very good. They had a Starbucks tho

I go to this target for convenience and that's it. Prefer not to do self checkout with multiple items because I'm blind. So far most of the people at the register either look overwhelmed or don't want to be there. On the other hand, I'm impressed at how much they could cram in that little store. Good selection. read more

This Target is pretty small, but it is great for picking up things here and there. Target has great prices on their store brand items, so I specifically go there to buy things like bandaids, ibuprofen, etc. I really appreciate that this location exists because it's conveniently in walking distance if I need something. read more

Target, even an urban mini Target like this one, has it all. Food, clothing, laundry wash, skin wash, tooth wash, pet shampoo and greeting cards. Even booze. What's more to want? read more

What happens when you open a CVS in downtown Sacramento, but you stuff it with everything from Target and use their branding? You get the Midtown Target. It is the smallest Target store I have ever seen (even smaller than the one in Oakland BY FAR)! But make no mistake, this store features almost everything that an ordinary Target has, but in a tiny package. They also offer parking on the building's roof. It manages to keep the same layout and decor of a full sized Target. The only difference is the grocery section is L-shaped and the electronics and toys sections are in the middle, near the toys and home goods, while the overhead signage that tells you the sections are red versions of what you see in the grocery section. They also were able to stuff a full sized CVS section and Starbucks counter. This place is great for the apartments and hotels nearby, where you simply come in, get what you need and leave. The carts are also mini-sized, even though the aisles are slightly smaller, but not as small as the Safeway in downtown SF. The checkout stand is almost like how CVS does theirs, with 3 checkout stands on the right, and a few self-checkouts on the left. The price is what you expect from any other NorCal Target, electronics are expensive and groceries are similar to Safeway. As a visitor to Sac, I haven't noticed any rudeness from employees, and they were eager to help at the checkout, even when they announced they were other self-checkouts. This is such a novelty of a Target, you should check it at least once. read more

Target - This is the video games section of this target. The endcap of the electronics aisle. - Furniture Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is the worst location. I love Target, and this one is very convenient HOWEVER, the high amount of transients in there shoplifting, staying in the bathroom for hours is a huge downside. If they don't lock everything up, they won't have anything left. The workers all stand in the front of the store instead of walking the aisles to cut down on the behavior. Why is everything in the Target's around the city under lock in key but this location isn't? Seems very backwards to me. read more

This is a smaller scale target, but still a very nice one. Very well organized and open floor plan make finding your items easy. Despite the smaller location they did have items that aren't available at other locations. A bonus: Starbucks is on site! Self check out, returns, etc are also all available. read more

Target - View from inside - Furniture Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

4-16-21: Target midtown, soft opening til Sunday, April 18. Some shelves still being stocked. Plenty of staff on hand, greetings abound at front door. Already busy, folks are welcoming a mini Target to the neighborhood. Set up in an urban footprint, this small store packs a punch with many items found in a big Target. I guess the store is too small to have an electric shopping cart. There is a wheelchair, somewhere, I was told. There's a CVS pharmacy and oodles of meds, vitamins, makeup and sundries. The grocery section is largish. Refrigerated and frozen foods, fresh produce, canned goods, bread, eggs, milk, they've got it all. No furniture, bicycles, luggage or big items; they just don't fit. There is a row with kitchen cookware, cooking utensils and small electrics, like water kettle, toaster, etc. I came for yogurt and house shoes, a list of oddball items that makes a department store useful. I also picked up a blouse, not on the list. Metered street parking and a rooftop parking lot. read more

I was very excited for a new Target to open up and especially one that is walking distance from my work. I stopped in on Saturday and it was definitely smaller, think more like a Target boutique! It had a little of everything from groceries to home goods to women's clothes. The store was clean and well organized. Staff was also very friendly! Since this location is on J Street - there is so street parking, but I believe there is also a parking garage since I did see an elevator at the front of the store. Oh, and how could I forget...there's even a Starbucks inside! Self check-out area too! I am very excited about this new location and can't wait to check them out again! read more

Price range: affordable and lifesaving, specially for midtown locals. To consider: there is a FREE parking garage (keep your eyes peeled)! Wait time: usually not busy. They have like 5 self check outs and like 1 or 2 cashiers. Chaise it's will GLADLY tell the line that there is self checkout available. Food & drinks details: lots of wine, beer, and alcohol to choose from. Shoutout(s): to Target! We needed a grocery store since the Rite Aid closed some months ago. This place is a gem for locals. Location review: amazing. We locals needed this. Thanks for adding the parking garage. Always at least 5 spots available. Service: eh. Sometimes cashiers are jolly, other times not so much. We're all human. Sometimes it's close to closing and they WILL ask you nicely to hurry up. People want to go home, I get that. Expectations: I expected to pay a premium, but honestly prices are what you'll find at any other Target. This store feel like a cheat code. I'm so used to paying a premium in midtown. So cool to have this place in midtown! Improvements: at least 1 cashier at the register at all times. Some of us don't want to fly with the self checkout. Some of us can't physically manage that. Some of us don't want to do that. Last words: thank you for opening this up. We needed it. Lots of fresh food, clothing, toys, and everyday essentials! read more

The new midtown Target is less a Target and more a glorified drugstore. One corporate brand (CVS) has been traded for another (despite there still being a CVS in the back) with terrific results. This is both what every decaying Walgreens and CVS could be and a much needed midtown shop focused on convenience, in every sense of the word. Walking in, you'll find a clean and organized layout with fully stocked shelves and a larger assortment of products than the CVS before it. There is a drug counter in the back and a Starbucks up front. I walked in just to peruse and ended up leaving with a bag full of goodies I never thought I needed. Also unlike CVS, the customer service is nice. I saw smiles on faces and was asked if I needed help. It wasn't anything to put in the customer service hall of fame, but it was a far cry better than the complete absence of service that came before. read more

Thank you for opening a Target so conveniently located in Midtown! While this store front is not as big as your typical Target, they do have all the essentials you need on a daily basis. They carry most of what you would expect for the grocery section. Fresh produce, frozen foods, dry foods, and lots of snacks! They also have select clothing and beauty supplies. As well as electronics to meet your office and home office needs! Do not come here and expect luxury items. Be prepared to self-check out or rang up in the counter behind. My experience here was short, quick, and all smooth. read more

17th and J It's a smaller Target and has it's own parking lot which is marked for those pick up orders, staff parking and us regular folks. There were signs for elevators. There's two! But also, there's street parking. My coworker did bestow a little tip for me though. She said the wheels on the cart lock at a certain distance so if you plan on taking a cart to your vehicle-- you should park in their lot. There's also a Starbucks inside. There's literally one two blocks away but whatever. Self Checkout seems to be the way to go. They have more kiosks than cashiers and that works for me. I'm in and out pretty quickly.. It's clean. It's stocked. Easy to navigate through.. read more

I love this target I work near it and it's the best store to go grocery shopping, home shopping, clothes shopping, and even beauty shopping! This store has it all. They have good reliable workers there and you can never go wrong with this store. read more

Just call this "Target Express" or "Target Lite". Went in today since it was close by to get kitty litter but they didn't seem to have any pet supplies at all, so ended up going to the usual larger one. Needless to say there is NO music or movies available here, as you are reminded that The Beat used to be across the street and is now a useless BevMo. read more

The new Midtown Target is so new, it has a 279 Area Code! They took the old Office Depot building and installed a small Target store common in urban areas. It is much smaller than a normal suburban store, but it does have rooftop parking including their pickup service. Taking an elevator in Target is somewhat different! The store is small, but very bright with lots of windows facing the street. This is somewhat unusual for a Target. Inventory is limited, but they have a grocery section with booze, clothing, drugstore items, and general merchandise. It is easy to find the basics here, and they likely cater to the local residents needing smaller items without renting a Gig or waiting for Amazon. There is even a rather large Starbucks! Access is fairly easy unless the parking lot is full. I would not recommend a large trip unless you are doing pickup or know the lot is empty. On my Saturday morning trip, the lot was rather empty. Approach the store on J Street while in the far left lane for best access. I cannot say I will visit this store much because I do not live in the area, but I think they will do a decent amount of business from the locals. It is much easier than heading to Natomas or the Broadway locations, but the Midtown Target could easily be overwhelmed by the next TP shortage or run on Titos! read more

Attention, attention.... we have a NEW Target in the Midtown neighborhood! So far, everything is clean and organized. I noticed right away as soon as I walked in that this particular location is much smaller than many and most Target locations. The cool thing about this location is that it still has all of the main basics, a beauty section, clothing, groceries, household items, pet supplies, the basics! It's kinda nice having a smaller scale store because you don't overbuy and purchase the things that you don't really need. If you're like me I tend to overbuy when I go to a "normal" sized Target, lol - I never stick to my shopping list. Parking is available upstairs above the store and around the store on the street. Don't forget to bring your own shopping bag ;) read more

Although this target is neat and tidy inside, I find the selection in all departments very limited because the store is quite small compared to other targets in the area. I would go here in a pinch but not when I am looking for specific products. read more

I can't tell you how excited I was for a new target in the downtown area! I love the fact you can park right on top of the building makes it stress free to find a spot. The store was very clean and super friendly staff. BUT this target is to so tiny it really doesn't fufill the target expierence. I feel like they should of stuck to just necessity items like pet food, groceries, cleaning supplies, etc. Instead you get a tiny tiny selection of everything a normal target has. Would of rather had a larger selection of groceries than squeezing in a few racks of clothes. Would rather have a larger selection of cleaning supplies than having a small corner of home items. Should of really thought out the layout and what departments they want to include in such a small space. Will I come here again? ERrrrr. Maybe ?? Maybe I'll stop by when I need like one item. Other than that I'll just be going to the target on Broadway. (Which i don't even like honestly) read more

Needed a quick stop for very specific items, everywhere I turned they were offering buy one get 2nd at half off, purchase $30 of these items get a $5 gift card. I fell for all of the gimmicks and got to the register and for one reasons or another my purchases didnt qualify for the blatant ads run throughout the store. The cashier had no explanation just hunched her shoulders when I said that I felt mislead. I don't normally shop at this Target or any Targets on the regular, but now I understand why they are going bankrupt. Sheesh! read more

Half the makeup and barrettes have been stolen. Like 8-packs have 4 barrettes left. A very sad state. Is anyone in charge here?

Dear target... when serving customers shopping at your establishment, and you have 7 people in line waiting to use one of two restrooms be more considerate. You have one that's marked team members only. The other one for customers. There was a homeless man in the restroom for 30 minutes. The hand dryer was being used constantly. Knock on the door he yell out in a minute. Nearly peeing my pants, I asked 2 associates " can you let me in the other restroom please"? Her reply was NO! I got to the front desk for a manager, the man said I don't know where's the manager is at the moment. Can I help you? Explaining the situation- his reply was- no there's a bar across the street you can go to! WTF is wrong with this picture? It's Friday night. The bar had a line waiting to get in. I left a cart full of go backs for your lazy and unconsidered team members! I left! I had to go outside to the parking lot and drop my pants to pee! Totally unacceptable! I even explained to the female associate I just had outpatient surgery 48 hours ago! Is this how you treat your customers? I understand you have a huge homeless population in the area. I am sorry! I am even more sorry giving you a review such as this. I contacted the store manager shortly after I exposed my self behind the building. She was so apologetic. And assured me this won't happen again. I won't spend my hard earned money here! A bystander mentioned perhaps I should had relieved myself right there inside the store. Trust me I will be in contact with corporate office! Target in mid town makes their customers pee outside like the mascot dog! SHAMEFUL read more

Prices are sky high at all these bigbox junk dealers, Target is the worst offender. Why pay a premium for slapshod plastic junk, high priced/low quality electronics and cheap threadbare tshirts? All made in the ccp or krapistan or wherever. It'll all be falling apart within a year, and then you must consume some more. And stop putting up the Xmas displays before Halloween for crissakes. Ridiculous. As always at these places, staff are checked out if not outright obnoxious. Bad value. Bad experience. Bad company. read more

SO BAD. SO SO BAD. avoid at all costs. no way this is even a real corporate target?? waited for over 20 minutes to get something i needed that was locked, did not get to finish my shopping - did not want to wait 20 minutes every time i needed something. the employee who got what i needed put it up front and said "she'll be right with you." 10 minutes later when the cashier finally got there she acted like i was the biggest inconvenience that she had to scan my 2 items. absolutely terrible environment and customer service. watch where you step when you get outside, since the bathroom target clearly does not monitor is not enough for the transients! read more

Went to the midtown store on 17th and J. It's like they took a whole size store and shrunk it down to about a quarter of the normal size but being that it's a neighborhood store it has some groceries and has small clothing section basically most of the other parts of the regular store but just abbreviated that's really nice and clean easy to get in and out of there read more

I typically pop by this Target for quick grocery runs. I popped in after work, grabbed my items and went to the self checkout. I began walking towards the elevator to the parking lot and 2 guys (early-twenties) in dark clothes were walking rather slow in front of me. I was trying to find a way around them as I was in a rush but they ended up making it to the elevator before me. One of them turns around and accuses me of following them. I was going to respond that I wasn't but I didn't want to start anything so I didn't and just got on. They proceeded to get on the elevator as well and let me walk off first once it opened. One of them said something under their breath (although I didn't hear what) and the other started snickering. They watched me walk to my car and I waited to see if they would leave first but they did not. I was able to take off and made it home okay but this made me very uncomfortable because I was not paying them any attention at all, was not following them, I am a female by myself and it was getting dark. I unfortunately won't be going back after this experience. There are too many unseemly people around this store and this was such an unnecessary experience. read more

I don't know who is hiring the Starbucks workers in this location but omg they are AWFUL! They are constantly talking to security and ignore customers. Acting is if WE are the rude ones while they roll their eyes as you walk up to order and patiently wait for them to even acknowledge you. Drinks are usually fine. read more

Great addition to midtown! I feel safe shopping here in comparison to the nearby CVS.

Multiple cashiers refused to check me out simply because they have automated check out stands. Several open cashier stands with workers behind them not occupied. Unwilling to provide basic service. read more

This is my go to Target in the neighborhood. It's nice to not have to drive all the way to Broadway. I got everything I need here. If there is a 4.5 star I would give that due to the lack of. The store is not as big as other target locations with a wide variety of options but for me and what I need for my family, it beats a convenience store any day. I appreciate there is one here. The staff are nice. The store is clean. There are enough parking in my opinion. It's walking distance from my house. We get a good 20 minutes in with a child who is 3 and walks hella slow. But it's all good. read more

It's a Wal-Mart in Target clothing -- poor employee attitudes, a lack of training, and a "not my job" attitude that exemplifies what Target overall has become. It may be in Midtown, but the quality of the customer experience is definitely not what one would expect from an establishment that spends (wastes?) so much money of flashy "we're so cool" advertising. All in all, skip this place because (1) you probably won't find what you need, (2) you'll go through a lot of needless hassle looking for what you need, and (3) have to tolerate employees who believe that their job is to stand around chatting, instead of helping customers, and who, when asked to provide assistance, will give the customer a substandard attitude. Suffice to say that I'm glad I don't own shares in Target anymore. read more

This store was a great addition to the neighborhood but then was a magnet for homeless people...it turned into a s** show fast, BUT they have turned it around and with constant security have maintained a clean store with most things a large Target offers! read more

Not sure who the young cashier is but he kinda called me a liar and a thief! After explaining how I had gotten a gift card for someone and they said there was no balance, I go back into the store and that's what I'm greeting with then he calls the manager I think Chris was his name and he kinda followed along the same jargon and told me to call the gift card line, you could tell he was thinking the same thing! Well called them they said they would investigate and Boom new card comes in the mail (smiles) I hope they catch and fire whoever is committing the fraud and teach the young guy how to not profile people, very unprofessional, thanks to corporate but the store itself needs some training take a lesson from Starbucks read more

Prices on some things reasonable. Store is clean. They have a security guard. Several homeless people gather outside.

If there was a zero star I would give it. I clearly called and pressed 0 and a gentleman answered the phone and I asked him if he had another black JLab earphone and he said he couldn't hear me I was speaking too fast. So I slowed my speech and do you know what he said?? ' Uhh sir umm that's rude' I said you asked me to speak slower and he hung up the phone in my face. I called back and asked for the store manager and she transferred me and guess who answered... HIM ... so I asked for the store manager's name and he said he was 1 of the managers. I asked are you an assistant or the boss. I would like to speak to or leave a message for the store manager. He said he was 1. I asked him for his name, his response was 'I don't have to give it out..'. I said what? May I have your name if you are 1 of the managers... then I asked, did I just speak with you a few moments ago. He said yes. And then he hung the phone up I. My face a second time. I called back and spoke with a woman in HR and asked for the corporate number. She was nice, gave her name and i explained to her that I have been in that target store at least 7 times in the past 4-5 days and I would rather swallow razor blades than to ever step foot in it again!!! read more
