I love shopping at Target Ocala even if it's for the odd thing's here and there. I went in…read moreyesterday for some Pokeman themed items that my son happened to be looking for. I'm shocked that the craze for all of this goes on. He knew what he was looking for and so did the others that seemed to be scouting the store. Often I go in and browse for different things whether it be a piece of clothing, makeup or something else. I just enjoy coming here at times it's more peaceful and organized than many of the other stores in town with lot's of variety. Food shopping is not ideal but I can't say that I haven't picked up a snack, protein chip or something that caught my eye on-sale. With the Target red card you get 5 percent off your purchases*** The store is clean, well organized and the employees are rather helpful for the most part. You cannot beat some of the deals and if you have Target 360 there are even more to explore!

This Target is pretty good especially compared to the Gainesville location. Anytime I'm in the area…read more- typically the front entrance is well maintained and loss prevention or some type of security is present. I really like this location also has an Ulta section that carries beauty products from MAC, Benefit, Clinique, and more. The Target beauty section is one of my favorite sections as it's always organized and carries a great selection of Fine'ry perfumes like the minis which are great for your purse or travels. Also, check out their accessory selection as they have a wide range of fashionable pieces that are great for everyday wear. You can't forget about their clothing area as they typically have a great selection of everyday to work wear and a huge swimwear selection that's perfect for any pool or beach day. Also, make sure you stop by their clearance area. They have a lot of great gems there. Target is not complete without a Starbucks and this one definitely has a nice one accompanied with a snack/drink area that has goodies like jerky, travel size Alani Nu, and other beverages. If you're in the area, definitely check out this Target!

Walking into Earth Origins in Ocala feels less like entering a grocery store and more like stepping…read moreback into my childhood. Long before Whole Foods existed... before wellness influencers... before every grocery store suddenly discovered "organic"... my parents owned health food stores in California and New York during the 1970s and 80s, back when most Americans barely understood what a health food store was. I grew up carrying whole wheat, avocado, mayo and sprout sandwiches in my lunchbox when other kids had processed snacks and white bread. My mother was giving health and nutritional talks decades ago and still does to this day. The funny part is the kids at school loved my avocado sprout sandwiches so much that they would trade me their Twinkies for them. Twinkies were absolutely a no-no in our household, which of course made them feel like pure treasure whenever I could get my hands on one... even though I knew they were terrible for me. Healthy living wasn't a trend in our household. It was simply the way we lived. And contrary to what people think now, this knowledge is not new. Ancient cultures understood the connection between food, health, longevity and lifestyle long before modern America rediscovered it and turned it into branding. Tibet is a perfect example. Entire cultures have understood preventative wellness and intentional living for centuries. Back then, health food stores were different. They were deeply personal places. Independent. Passion-driven. Families built them around education, community, and a genuine belief in helping people live healthier lives. Then the industry began to change. During the 1980s and 90s, large corporations started buying up independent health food stores across America. Chains like GNC expanded aggressively through acquisitions, converting many small family-owned stores into standardized retail locations. In fact, GNC actually bought one of my parents' stores years ago and turned it into a GNC. Later, companies like Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, and major investment groups helped transform what had once been deeply local, community-driven businesses into national chains built around scale, branding, and mass-market wellness. That's why Earth Origins still feels special to me. It still carries echoes of the old Mother Earth health food store that once existed here in Ocala. The scent in the air... the supplement aisles... the atmosphere... even the energy of the store instantly brought me back to childhood memories of standing inside my parents' stores decades ago. There's something comforting about walking into a place that still feels connected to the original spirit of the health food movement before it became mainstream. For me, Earth Origins doesn't just feel like shopping. It feels like home.

I was meaning to stop here for months after moving to the area and finally made myself go during an…read moreerrand run. I have been here several times over the years. I have shopped here so specific items and also just to browse. Since we do not have a Whole Foods or Fresh Market, and Sprouts is on the other side of town, Earth Origins is the next best thing. I have been exploring plant based products for the last couple of years and attempting the more holistic route so Earth Origins definitely assists with that. I will say, the prices are astronomical for many products but reasonable for other products. The produce department is super small, with only organic options, and not many options for vegetables or fruits. They have a small salad bar, which is measured by the pound. There is also a hot soup bar, with I think 2 options but they close that early-maybe around 5pm? There is also a deli/ seafood/ sushi counter where you can purchase a la carte items, with premade options already packaged for grab and go. They also have ramen you can order! Next is a bulk area with a huge selection of nuts, coffee, seeds, legumes, snacks, etc. I finally purchased some during my last visit. I was a little slow in figuring it out. You put the items in a bag, then tie it with a wire tag, then write the UPC code # on the tag so the cashier can type it in. There is also fresh nut butters and honey and pastries in the same area. There are aisles of dry goods, supplements, vitamins, personal care, snacks, beverages, and treats. There is also a small wine section, with a lot of local wines. Lined up against the back of the store and the last aisle are refrigerated and freezer items. I always purchase items in the area! If you join their membership, you receive special deals daily. If you bring your own bags, you receive a 5 cent discount.

I tried several times and told them my number in case they could hear me. Penny called me back right away, apologized and told me she has been working with their corporate office to get it fixed. Good news was they had what I'm looking for. They had one box left and held it for me. Once I arrived in the store, Penny was very helpful. She explained their "Buy One, get a second product 50% off". She helped me select a product that fits my workout routine. Her colleague Lupita was also very friendly. The store is very well stocked, clean and organized. I will be back!! It's in the Paddock Mall near the Macy's entrance. Tell 'em BaddBob sent ya!!

I don't know how long they will be running this deal, but I saved 10% by buying online and picking it up in the store. What a great deal! The guy behind the counter was nice and knowledgeable and he had my order ready to go. It's really great that the website tells you if the item you're looking for is available for pick up. I would shop and pick up here again.

Never been a frequent customer of Dillards .. all the years that I have either... Lived in…read moreFlorida... or... visited Florida... Dillards has never been on the top of my shopping list. There CAN be some deals. Sometimes. Many times there are no deals. Housewares, Linens, Luggage, Tableware are all overpriced and sitting at the top of that range that should be charged for these items. You can get many comparable and exact same items elsewhere for much cheaper. Shoes? Very well priced especially for their sale racks. Handbags? Some cute some very well priced and some in the stratosphere. Dillards actually caries real Luis Vuitton handbags and luggage but.... I am not an LV consumer. Clothes... great when there are sales. You have to watch for deals, coupons and price slashing before during and after holidays. I was just recently very successful with the purchase of a makeup bag that is perfect for my trip coming up. Normally I wouldn't pay $48.00 actually $52.00 for a makeup bag but I believe I will keep this one for quite some time. The lady that helped me in the cosmetics section kept me in her "sights" while I was shopping around the entire store... she didn't want to miss getting credit for my purchase. I liked her though... we had a laugh or two.
