Target — Local services in City of Yonkers

Other than being a new location, it's still Target and everything Target is. Just because it's a new location, it doesn't change that it's still Target.

For those in the area, Sears used to occupy this space - it's now 2 floors for Target, with the top floor being reserved for part of Westchester Community College.

The last time Westchester had a 2 floor store like this, it was Walmart in White Plains and that was a complete disaster - hopefully this Target doesn't end up the same way.

I purposely avoided the first two weeks since it just opened figuring it would be madness, but finally checked it out in the third week. Other than being new, there's nothing particularly special or remarkable about this location. Only giving it the 3rd star because it is new and there is room for potential, even if it's probably unlikely.

If you frequent Target enough, you'd know what they generally carry - the only difference is about half of what the store generally carries is on the second floor including home, kitchen, toys, electronics, shoes, and bathroom - while everything else is on the main floor including groceries, clothes, toiletries, medication, household, school supplies, and makeup. Prices are what they are and at times, they can be decent or good.

There are entrances/exits as well as registers on both floors for extra options, but of course it also depends on where you parked. There's a Starbucks and a CVS pharmacy inside for extra convenience.

The store was 'fully stocked' upon opening, but I guess they didn't replenish everything by the time I got there as there were a lot of empty spots, shelves, and such. Not all spots, but more than enough to where it was noticeable. In all fairness, the store was busy and since it's a newer location, perhaps a little leeway can be given in that regard.

The employees that I saw were typical Target employees. No one was friendly that I encountered and again, just typical Target employee behavior you'd tend to see at other locations. Target - much like Walmart - aren't known for their friendly employees and I can probably count on one hand how many employees have actually been good for all the different locations total I've been to in the last few years (which is more than I can count on one hand). I didn't purchase anything, so no comments about the checking out experience - but there were both cashiers and self checkouts. Again, the store was probably busier than usual due to being a new location, so while I'm willing to give room for improvement here - I'm not expecting too much change in that regard, based off other Target locations.

Time of course will tell on how this Target will be in total after the 'newness' of the location wears off and things settle.

Located in Cross County shopping center - there are plenty of parking options both directly in the Target parking lot (which the ground floor shares with a few restaurants) and for the rest of the mall. During the holidays it can be a little more challenging to find closer spots. There is the smaller lot next to the second floor entrance as another option. I didn't go around to the college side, so unsure if part of that is blocked off or not. Use caution when using the lots closer to the store, because there were carts all over the place.

Honestly, it's just a new Target location and nothing much more other than being two floors. I wasn't in here for too long before I figured that I probably wouldn't be going out of my way to come here too often and much like I do with Walmart, I'd probably driver further to a better location for a better all around experience whenever I'm in the need to visit a Target. But I will say this location is better than it's closest sister location in Mount Vernon - so for locals, there is that glimmer of hope.

I might try coming here again sometime in the new year after things settle to see if things will improve or just be another typical skippable location - but I'm not expecting too...

This brand new Target at the Cross County mall isn’t bad. Some produce and freezer isles are still completely bare, some isles especially the Hot Wheels shelves are such a mess.

It does suck to see that this Target has hygiene and laundry detergents locked up behind glass doors like the Target in the South Bronx.. I get this is a way for Target to deter theft, but it creates an annoyance for the customers and especially the employees because when I was here, 5-6 people were asking one employee all at once to open the glass doors with a key to get items they needed. Then once the employee gets the item from the glass door, the employee has to take it to the front checkout counter for the customer to pay for it separately, the customer can’t walk around with the items in the cart while shopping which is truly a disgrace to paying shoppers and a huge annoyance to the employees who never made up these new rules. Stop and Shop in the same mall doesn’t have glass door shelves like this new Target has.

It is nice to have a Starbucks inside the Target, but one thing I have to say is that they should regularly clean out the trash bins because it was overflowing all the way to the top, and it looks like it was like that for a few days!

Overall I am happy to see a Target come to Yonkers and it is way overdue, and I’m glad that the former Sears store wasn’t just sitting empty for years, it’s also nice that SUNY WCC classes and offices are right upstairs from the Target so students and faculty can just go right downstairs to grab some Starbucks or groceries. It is brand new so there are some things that have to be worked out hopefully in the...

Glad everyone is complaining about the products behind the glass door, that just lets me know the in store racism I went through THREE times (twice in one day) was real and I was not misinterpreting the employee’s behavior. Might I add one racist encounter was with a supervisor/shift lead who was not wearing a name tag so I can’t call her out. However I really only went for baby products on both occasions, so there was no real exploration of the new store. As the drive to cross county is a tad shorter than Mount Vernon, I’ll no longer make the commute to Cross county for Target. Not even for a drive up, as I did twice also, and both times an item was missing from the bag, which is annoying because the wait to have orders picked up are long already (takes the entire two hours). Mount Vernon employees are far more welcoming, and both Bruckner Blvd have speedy ready times. I’ll continue to go where I feel welcomed, or order from Amazon. Not sure why they didn’t put an Amazon store here instead, granted Walmart isn’t allowed in NYC anymore. Cool location but it’s going to be controversial with glass doors around products people mainly go there for, as well as employees who are incapable of making...
