Target — Local services in Denton

As a long-time Dentonite, it's still a little surreal seeing a Target on the north side of town--but I'm definitely glad it's here.

Things like family sized tea bags, shallots, fresh dill, cilantro, roasted red peppers, pine nuts. Part of the appeal of such a huge store is getting everything in one stop, but the grocery aspect is turning out to be kind of like Aldi in that I can only get 85% of what...

While I used to think lowly of the quality of food in WinCo (a much better grocery store), I’m impressed at how much frustration I have in the high prices and consistent presence of canola oil.

Target used to be the chic place for aesthetic home furnishings and clothes on a budget, but Walmart definitely took that title now.

I have a bad taste in my mouth. Two stars, one for having a well trained and professional team of staff, and one for having a clean store in a...
