Target

Here is your typical Target however this branch is in the best location. It sits right outside of SouthPoint Mall. I tend to come here for lunch break as they have some of the best dishes at the deli for lunch. The prices aren't bad as well. Be prepared for lots of foot traffic as this location is always busy!

This is my favorite target!! It gets pretty crowded, but they always have what I need. Everything is neat and organized, and the groceries are pretty reasonably priced even though Target can be known for being on the more expensive side. I like that the self checkout is 10 items or less, it makes it go by much faster and is great for a quick trip in and out. I also use the drive up service all the time, which is super convenient. Also, it's in a great shopping center near Home Goods and Michael's and a few good food places. Great for a quick shopping day.

This target is great for getting most of what you need but unfortunately the staff here are not as great. I chose to do in-store pickup at this location and found myself waiting for 5 minutes while 6 of the staff at the counter were in conversation (not about work related things). I've worked in service before and thought maybe this wasn't any of their current jobs but where 1 or 2 of them were placed and others were hanging out, but after 5 minutes one of them asked if I was ready and they laughed and said "damn we should be doing our jobs." Not a great time lol.

I haven't really been here much since their big redo so was kind of lost finding my way around. Thankfully an employee was available to direct me.

Add to that boxes everywhere to be unpacked and employees with carts taking things off the shelves that I think were filling pick up/delivery orders. In short, the store was kinda a mess.

I decided to do self check out and that was a mistake as the card rider kept rejecting my card. The assistant, who wasn't very pleasant, insisted on holding my card in it. Great, I came to self check out to avoid contact. I had to ask for her help four times between produce that couldn't be found and the card issue. Patience was short for both of us by the time the transaction was done.

I knew I quit shopping at this store for a reason and definitely won't return with the hassle that it was

This is our go-to Target in the Triangle and we're big fans. Years ago, it used to be a "SuperTarget," a name Target has mostly done away with now. It's on par with a Walmart Supercenter, but nicer. This is the biggest version of Target, offering everything from an expanded grocery selection, that includes a sizable inventory of meat and produce, to home hardware and auto supplies. There's a Starbucks on-site along with a bakery, deli, optometrist, and CVS MinuteClinic and pharmacy. Simply put, it's a one-stop shop.

A few things set this particular Target apart from many other locations:

1. Inventory. Not only does this Target carry a wide variety of items (above average selection), but they also do a nice job of keeping a lot of product in stock.

2. Service. Generally, Target stores provide good to great service. The service we've experienced at this location has consistently been excellent. Typically, the staff has been friendly, polite, and efficient.

3. Cleanliness. Again, generally, Target stores are clean, but this one feels extra polished. Partly, I think it's because this Target was remodeled in the second half of 2018. At that time, this store converted from the old SuperTarget to the "new" and current "Target."

Recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my wife and I have been utilizing Target's Order Pickup option more and more. In 2020, I think we've used Order Pickup more times than we have shopped inside the physical stores. Order Pickup is super convenient and saves time. We just use the website - www.target.com - to order. Our items are usually ready to pick up in less than 24 hours. The only time we do not use Order Pickup is when we buy groceries (we like to pick the food ourselves).

This Target has been around since at least 2007. The nearby popular Streets at Southpoint shopping center opened in 2002. I believe this Target was constructed and opened around the same time (early 2000s).

Target corporate refers to this location as the "Durham SE" location.

On the evening of Monday, March 9, 2020, a dead body was found inside a car in the parking lot here: https://www.wral.com/body-found-inside-car-at-target-near-southpoint-mall/19002886/.

If you're a fan of Target, you probably won't be disappointed with this location.

I love Target. Its my go to because they are clean, neat and friendly. I order online about once a week to prevent from spending my whole check there. But I've noticed that if you order online and pick Drive up at the Renaissance pkwy Target they leave you waiting a while. If you want a shorter wait time order drive up at the other durham location on chapel hill blvd. Ive made this mistake for the last time. Don't think if you let them know before hand it will be any faster. Currently been waiting 30 minutes. Not a soul in sight.

I usually shop at this Target. I noticed the other day that a product I buy there almost every week was on sale in the app, but the sale price was only for people who picked up or got same day delivery.
The item is Morningstar veggie burger, frozen 4 count. It was 2 for $9.00. But not marked as that in the store. Only in the app for pick up or same day deliver only.
I feel like I'm being cheated out of this sale and possibly other sale items because I like to go shopping for my own food. It's not fair for any of us who pay more because they don't do pick up or deliver. Why is Target doing this and I wonder how much I could have saved if they gave me this discount as well as others I didn't know about in the past. Very disappointed in Target. I'm not going to shop there anymore. There are many other places to go.

Clean store, but they never have more than 3 registers open. Prepare to stand in a "Black Friday" line any day of the week. I see tons of employees walking around putting things in shelves...maybe consider cross training them to run a register for your customers' sake.

Stopped by here for a quick trip, so I thought! However it took way too long! Not only are many of the shelves still bare, but they only have the self-checkout open. There were at least 30 people in line waiting. Come on Target, do better!

When the power went out at the registers, employees jumped to work with mobile checkout queues. Bree in particular was amazing and had such a great attitude during a stressful situation!

This place has gone downhill. Not sure what is going on...

There are literally zero cash registers open in the morning when I go, aside from the self-checkout. And yet there are usually six or eight employees standing around talking about their lives by the check outs. Which is fine, I get that not everyone is assigned to cash registers, but at least getting on a walkie and finding someone who can help would be nice. Unfortunately, I usually have a full cart and there just isn't enough space (not to mention how long it takes and how many times an employee is inevitably called over by the kiosk).

On top of that I've gotten the wrong bags delivered in drive-up, and even though someone else's name was on the bags, the person who brought the bags out argued with me about receiving them. This has not only happened once...

The location off University, or even the Morrisville location are worth the extra drive if you've got the time and it's early morning. Which is too bad, this store used to be great.
