Meh. I go to Target for necessities and the occasional cheap outfit, but this location is pretty headache-inducing. There are always unruly children screaming and running around, their parents oblivious to the annoyance they're causing. Speaking of children, there once was a lost child -- probably only three years old -- wandering the aisles, crying, and instead of, oh I dunno, getting on her walkie-talkie and contacting other employees about the lost child, an employee told the child to "yell louder." I was appalled. Fortunately, another alert shopper contacted someone up front (I was about to do so). Another time, I saw a child of about five or six wildly driving one of the motorized scooters intended for the handicapped through the aisles, knocking into things, and did any employee tell him or his mother that he had to stop? Of course not.
Items are often out of stock, and it's weird how often I get defective merchandise, have to bring it back (returns are easy -- there's a star), and then can't get a replacement for it because they're out of that item.
Still, I must admit I'm a sucker for their designer lines. But why is almost everything black so badly dyed? It often looks very green or brown. Don't get jersey items unless you intend them to be pretty disposable. They pill up like crazy. The Massimo woven stuff is usually nice, though.
The cashier tried to charge me $70 for a 2-piece bathing suit set - I ended up not getting it due to the fact that she insisted that the clothing department called it a "2-piece." The two pieces were stuck together on a hanger set and the bottom was even marked $0.00. If I wanted to spend $70 on a freakin' bathing suit, would I have gone to Target?
Is it me or have target prices skyrocketed? I mean C'mon... target now sells jackets priced over a $100. What happened here?
Other than their pricey clothing items (which at one time were not so pricey) they at least have a good selection of bedding/bath.
I further love their camping and outdoors section which I have found some great deals on camping gear. Not the greatest stuff, but it got the job done at a fair price.
However, in terms of the store itself. Average. Not Bad, Not Great Either.

I was so disappointed with the cashier at Target some little old pudgy white lady, I went to purchase some diapers, baby food and a toy for my 5 month old, my mom took the baby and sat in the food court as I paid, I had the baby carrier in the basket and I had my little ones toys in it(from home) they were not new, this cashier first says is that all? I told her yes and then she says what about what is in the carrier? what the Hell? I told her that is mine that is why I did not put it on the belt!! then she asks me oh would you like to fill out a target credit card application you can get $5.00 off of your purchase? I told her okay this heafer tells me well its based on your credit, so if you don't have good credit you don't get the discount? Is this lady out of her mind? could she be more condescending? and what nerve she works AT TARGET... making $7.50 hr...

This is my favorite Target! I always buy everything from home furnishings to Christmas decorations here. I can't say i've ever had a bad experience. The store is always clean and I never have to wait in line longer than 3-4 minutes. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
The way they rebranded themselves over the past 4-5 years is just amazing!

The goal of this trip was to buy a set of 10 pound handweights for a gift. Unfortunately, there was only 1 handweight, and I had to ask a representative for help. The petite lady found more handweights in the stock room. So I had to wait around the sport equipment area. Luckily the lady carried the handweights in a basket. I could not imagine how she could hold onto weights on each hand. They would have probably cause her to topple over. Regardless, good customer service and another Christmas gift down!
Matt felt really uncomfortable coming here. He'll tell you why.
As soon as Matt walked into the retail giant to just browse and kill some time, Matt was immediately greeted in a mysterious way and being followed by a big red-shirt, $7.50 an hour male associate to hopefully see if Matt can persuade any kind of theft or other criminal activity(s).
Matt entered the store & made a right towards the ladies and shoes section:
He was chatting and jabbering with other associates.
Matt made a left towards the Toys section:
He was at the end of the Barbie-section, picking up loose items and debris.
Matt made another left towards the kitchen section:
He was assisting another customer and eyeing Matt like a hawk.
Matt went towards the electronic section for a digital camera:
He was across the way in the magazine-section pretending to read.
Matt was going towards the medicine aisle:
He was chatting with another associate nearby in the jewelry section.
Matt immediately left the store without any purchase.
He ran around the aisles, and gave Matt a dirty look as he walked into the store office.
The loser has nothing better else to do, but to follow an Asian man, who has a 10 times bigger salary than him. The Target associates wasn't aware who is he dealing with.

it's pretty clean, it's usually well stocked, but the staff is below par....but what do you expect from a target. i cant complain to much.
I LOVE Target! Out of Target, Walmart, and K-Mart...Target is the only department store where I'll actually buy clothes...and not just for me but for all of the little ones in my life. Plus...this year I actually got my Christmas tree from their garden center! Not only was it a nice tree that lasted through the holidays, the price was great too!
One complaint about this location though... They have those things on their carts that cause them to stop working if you get too far from the store. Well...there are places by the garden center in their own parking lot with their own cart return stalls where the cart will stop working. This was problematic for me when I was trying to transport the aforementioned Christmas tree.

Give me Target over Wal-Mart any day of the year. Everything's always more organized and cleaner than any Wal-Mart could ever be. Unless something is on sale, they'll tend to have what you're looking for...and even things you weren't looking for or planning to buy. If you're looking for unadvertised deals, check the endcaps of the aisles for markdowns. Sometimes you can find some good stuff...camping gear, golf clubs, clock radios, towels, etc. And I love that it's down the street and open late.

You still get the 4 stars though...cuz you're the only store so far that actually has their CD stocked..PERIOD!! From San Mateo to Dublin to Newark to UC, you are the only one..FINALLY!!!
And even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it)...YOU were the only one (after many, many years of shopping) to get me to apply for your funky-looking (but not necessarily needed) credit card!!

I love coming to this Target as they have a wide selection of things and the parking lot is bigger. I also like the fact that the store is always clean. I usually browse through their clothes and shoe section, but lately, I've been looking at their furniture and home ware sections. I can really say that Target has really come around in the last 10 years. The quality, style, and designs are of the latest. Back then, I would have hesitated to buy certain things here, but now I can almost buy everything here. I'm thinking of buying some furniture and kitchenware items. Their website has a lot of good stuff too!
I love Target! I got some nice gym clothing for a fraction of the cost that I get at the mall. Their clothing are quite trendy compared to some major department stores. Today i was there to get just two things but ended up getting more coz of the great prices. I got lots of pens and highlighters for $1/pack at the $1 corner. I don't worry about over-spending coz all of the stuff i get there are necessities....well maybe i'm just deceiving myself to believe that they are necessities....;)

Love it. Always clean, cashiers are fast, has the stuff I need/want. Enough said.
I like the dollar bins... my son likes being able to pick out a toy and I like the fact that I can appease him with something cheap.
It's a great time saving place usually. I can go to one place and get what I need: from new underwear to a carton of milk.
I was able to buy the new Weird Al album the day it was released. How much better than that can you get?

Good for basic clothing needs, and Yummy fresh baked pretzils umm prencils.
Check out online first because you can end up going and buying like $40 of stuff you don't need easily because it's cheap.

This Target is like any other target. You get a little disoriented in the store because there is no point of reference. I got a little lost but found my way out with fabric softener, a picture frame, panties, and a pair of shoes.
I usually have the motive of only getting one item at Target (i.e. an essential) and I try to stick with just the ONE item while constantly repeating the mantra "Okay, just get what you need, just get what you need".. Still, somehow EVERYTIME I go to Target, I end up spending $40+ on a whole load of useless crap. Why Target, why? I'm not rich! Who do you think I am? :(
Target, go to hell.. you go to hell & you die!
Oh & for some reason, I always get lost in this Target. The floorplan gets a little confusing in the bedding/cleaning/storage aisles. I don't know.. maybe I'm just a little challenged. You be the judge.

Target in Fremont is like Target everywhere. You can play video games if you're a guy. You can try on clothes if your'e a girl. I'm not sure what else to say other than, I've not had any bad experiences here. And when you need a place to go after the store has closed, you can go to Borders.
Walking into a Target is sort of like I imagine it would be falling into a black hole. You lose all frame of reference to the outside world as you are sucked deep into the bowels of the place. Ok, you aren't shredded down into your component atoms but maybe metaphysically you are. It's like any chain really, each store is absolutley the same. The lay them out the same, stock them the same, I swear that even the staff is the same, they probablu just have some cloning factory somewhere that stamps out smiling employees (ok, that wasn't fair, I've not had trouble with the staff). The stores don't even have windows, so who knows? You may think you're in California but since it looks like the Target in Peoria or Seattle, or Austin who can remember? Just another mega store that does a little of everything and does nothing all that great.
Ok, yes it's right near Xmas. And I need to get some electronics from this Target. I go to the counter and firstly this girl that works there is just chatting with this customer about her personal life when I arrive. But she appears to be kind of helping people. But she's in my way! I have to ask her to move to get to what I want to see. Next, I need them to unlock the games. So then I move into the line to ask for it. Meanwhile this same girl is picking up the phone to look for something for a customer on the phone. And there is a line of 4 people. So after that she finally gets back to the line, and begins chatting with each customer and taking her time. I am just like SO ANNOYED! Hey teenager! I know exactly what I want, how is it taking 30 mins to get your attention. Not only that you insist on trying to make conversations with every person there, about work, not about work, trying to upsell to a customer that clearly didn't want anything else. She drove me crazy. Normally I like this Target. This time... I wanted to talk to your superior. But in the spirit of the holidays... I let this slide.
