Here's just a "word to the wise"... that you might LEARN from my experience. (This experience does not relate to shopping inside the store). Rather, it concerns the expansive parking lot outside. Do not... I repeat, DO NOT EVER "temporarily" park your vehicle in that parking lot, if you are not actually shopping at the time inside the store. For example, let's say that you have a dentist appointment in the Journal Square area - and you want to let the Target parking lot "babysit" your car for a couple of hours, while you travel to Journal Sq for your appointment (since the Newport Path station is only about a 5 minute walk from the Target parking lot).
THEY WILL TOW YOUR CAR! Are they wrong for that? Not exactly... because the signage in the parking lot clearly tries to warn you about it. I'm not mad at Target per se... I'm more mad at myself for "trying" them!
$180 bucks later... is what it cost to "free" my car from the towing company listed on the signs. Anyone walking past the Target parking lot early on a random weekday morning, clearly knows that ALL of the people who own those cars parked in the lot, are not shopping that early inside the store. (This probably adds to the temptation of believing that "You'll be fine."). Okay... go ahead with your bad self then lol! Again, please learn from my lesson... so as not to have your "wallet" learn it for you!
THIS LOCATION **NEVER*** HAS BAGS!
HOW DO THEY EXPECT CUSTOMERS TO SHOP IF THEY ***N E V E R *** HAVE BAGS ?! IVE HAD HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF ITEMS IN MY CART READY TO CASH OUT AND HAVE HAD TO LEAVE EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS LACK BAGS!!
DO BETTER !
They have quite a selection of Kpop albums, I love that because I won’t have to keep going to Kpop stores and they are priced well and unlike Kpop stores they will charge you 30 dollars for an album that cost only 15-20 dollars!!! I just wish they had albums in stock because anytime I go they are open or the same albums that just never sell. To all my Kpop girlies, don’t walk but run to target for those albums!!!
Target Optical in Jersey City.
They are always friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The service is 5-star. I've been using this optical for years and they've never disappointed me. 100% recommended.
From Michael to the eye doctor, and the rest of the staff they are simple amazing. Make us feels like we were friends and at home.
Made glasses +sunglasses for my mother and myself.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great place to come to get eye wear great prices. Great customer service Leslie and Muhammad super helpful. Dr Mital very professional this place never disappoints.
LOVE TARGET - whilst this was not a Super Target (like in Florida), it's still huge. Found everything here - food, toys, clothes electronics and so much more.
Service on this trip the USA has been so variable. Some of the works would have been good characters on the series Superstore.
They ran out of carrier bags - WHAT!?!?! The cashier suggested I buy gift bags @$6 a piece and I would have needed maybe 8 to 10? SERIOUSLY Target - offer boxes or clean trash bags - ship in bags from other stores.... For this reason alone I am changing a 4 star review to just two... As I should have been told this fact before starting check out...
My wife was at a Target self-checkout today, September 3rd, between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM. She asked a young male employee to help her remove an item from her cart. He came over and did it, but then aggressively burped at her. My wife came home completely hurt and crying.
I understand that newcomers from Europe may not always be appreciated in this area, but I will not allow you to behave this way with my wife. Next time, she will not be at Target alone
Ordered at target with pickup, so I could save time on picking up. Turns out I had to literally wait over 5+ mins while the staff were discussing some personal matter, while I waited, first and only one in line.
When they got to me, it took them several minutes, way more than what it would take me to actually get the glue from the supplies aisle and just lay it on self checkout.
Ridiculous experience both on the waiting and the serving side at the store.
The store felt racist. I went early in the morning for a pleasant shopping experience with few people around, enjoying my free time without rushing. I was followed throughout my visit, and while paying, someone wearing an asset protection vest came over to suspiciously eye my cart.
If target is wondering why in store foot traffic is down, one of the major reasons is customer experience. The jersey city store in understaffed on weekends. All Check out, pick up, return lines are sooo long and there are few people working the tills. There’s so many people walking out of the store because it takes forever to buy an item.
This store have basically everything lock up you have to walk around the store to get someone to unlock it it’s ridiculous and it’s always dirty first thing in the morning so what is third shift doing nothing they leave everything for the first shift to do then it’s a worker there by the name Lisa that has a very nasty attitude and be ready to fight customers this store is nasty they only clean it up when they have visitors coming
Often messy and disorganized at times. Ridiculously long lines at the self checkout. Hire more staff I just want to pop in an out not wait 10 minutes to leave the store.
Pharmacy service is unfriendly and takes long.
So yesterday I was at the target and the Newport area and I had the fortunate pleasure to meet Christina. I don’t know if she was a manager or an associate, but she was so nice to me. You see at the time I picked up three figures that I plan to buy she told me that the street date wasn’t until tomorrow, but she was happy to hold them for me and I can’t tell you how grateful I feel that she did that for me she made me feel like a customer is important and that is true Customer Service so Christina from the bottom of my heart I just wanna say thank you thank you for being a good person. …
This Target location is, without a doubt, one of the most poorly managed I've ever encountered. The in-store environment is consistently unkempt, with empty boxes strewn all over the place, creating a chaotic and unwelcoming atmosphere.
Beyond the disarray, some of the staff members exhibit incredibly unprofessional behavior, which only adds to the negative experience.
Frankly, going into this store is a complete waste of time. I typically use the order pickup service, and that's precisely what I'll continue to do to avoid the frustrating in-store conditions.
keep way from this dump
Imagine an endless walk across a parking lot. Imagine spending half your time going to Target just traipsing across a long stretch of asphalt under the hot new jersey sun. Imagine the exhaustion by the time you reach the doors. Imagine the underpass alongside of the Target that you must cross under when you leave. You may get hit by a car if you cannot be careful. Meanwhile, inside of the Target, you must press a button to unleash the Benadryl from its cage. Imagine that panel of glass. The antihistamines so close. And yet so far beyond your reach.
The pick up service is extremely awful. I ordered 5-6 pick up orders here and more than 50% of the product they brought me are wrong.
Yesterday I order 7 items from this store, they cancelled 5 of them upon my arrival. I had to shop them in store on my own, and all the 5 items are available in their specified shelves.. That's rediculous.
Bought these high waisted Jeans. I hate Jeans okay! My parent is a die hard denim lady with multiple pairs. I always wanted to style Jeans like her. Effortlessly and cool. I recently started flipping a coin for fashion choices and bought these baby pink jeans from this Target. Im 5’9 and 230 pounds. I bought a size 14. THESE THINGS GO HIGH UP!!!! They have a corduroy look but are for sure denim. It says to wash gently so i will invest in Dreft and hand wash. I FELL TODAY AND THESE JEANS DIDN’T RIP. I fell on my knees walking at the slowest pace ever. My Jeans always rip at the knee. BUY THESE!
This Target has a huge staffing issue. The line to check out is at least 30 people deep. The line for self checkout is worse. They need to open all registers.
AVOID IF YOU CAN
Worst Target in North Jersey without question. They do not staff appropriately, the checkout lines wrap around the entire store, inventory is scattered about, and the employees look miserably overworked. Save yourself some peace and go to the Target in Edgewater or North Bergen. Far better experiences
I visited the Jersey City Target yesterday and found a disappointing situation at self-checkout. While they've added more staff to supervise customers during checkout, the stations themselves were noticeably dirty and poorly maintained.
For anyone planning to shop there, I'd suggest bringing gloves when using self-checkout to protect yourself from the unsanitary surfaces. The attached photos show the condition of these stations.
Basic cleanliness should be a priority, especially in high-touch areas like checkout counters.
Target shopping experience continues to get worse. ONE self checkout lane open out of SIXTEEN. What does it cost to have a second or third lane open at 8am? Just another reason for me to shop at Amazon. I see no reason to return to deal with this garbage.
I've been to the Target in Jersey City a few times now, and overall, it's been a great experience. The store is well-stocked, and I usually find everything I'm looking for. The layout is clean and easy to navigate, which is super helpful when you're in a rush. I especially appreciate the variety of products, from groceries to household essentials and even clothing. It’s truly a one-stop shop!
The staff has been mostly friendly and helpful, though sometimes it can be hard to find someone if you need assistance in a specific department. The checkout lines can get long, especially on weekends, but they do a good job of moving things along with self-checkout options. The parking situation could be better, as it gets crowded, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
The place looked like it got ransacked two weeks ago and no one picked anything up. We’ve been coming here for 4+ years and have never seen it this bad. Embarrassing for a bodega let alone a $67 billion company.
Beautiful store. Clean, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms could be cleaner. Overall they are stocked and good supplies. Plenty of things to buy from toilet paper, baby clothes, baby supplies, cleaning supplies, limited kitchen supplies, towels, electronics, etc.
Can't say thank you enough to Fonzi, Lisa (who was off today) and the rest of the crew from Store #1886 for helping my nephew celebrate his 6th birthday! And he came all the way from Toronto just to be able to walk through a Target store... since there aren't any more in Canada. Thank you again for all that you did to make it a very special day for him.
There are like 3 targets in the area & I by chance landed here and now it’s my fav store while it’s still target I find this one in JC to be well kept and with tons of display.. it’s a one stop shop
For everything from Home needs, organization, storage, clothing, baby, furniture, backyard, school supply, electronics to Barbie . They have a large area for each section and with tons of display .. they have a huge section for real and artificial plants. They have excellent selection of travel suitcases too.
I wish some sections were better organized.. this one has a Starbucks too
This store is the closest target to where we live and it's really good. It has some good deals all the time and it was some good quality products at a decent price. The in-store pickups and exchanges are seamless and the cist service representative is kind enough to answer any questions unlike many other Target stores. Also compared to ShopRite you get a lot more organic options here which is great. The only thing messy is the wardrobe section where a lot of clothes are lying on the floor unattended. A good store in all.
Great departmental store. Even the staff is so good and helpful. It has so many goods for you from so many categories be it home, travel, technology, clothing, home decor, kitchen, bath, whatever you can think of. Even the discounts on pricing are also extremely good.
Loved the store, was very clean and tidy and will definitely be visiting again with family.
Love this Target. Its classier than Walmart for sure.
One issue Indo have is that there are way too many employees here socializing and when you need help, they avoid you (they turn away from me when they realize I am approaching them for help).
The technology department has a guy staff that is pro active and will approach you himself if you need help. He is an exception to the rule
Some departments are not kept clean while some are. Depends on the employees that manage these areas I presume.
While Walmart has most of its items Made in Communist People's Republic of China (PRC), some items at Target can be found that are not from PRC, which is great for healthy safety reasons.
