Target — Local services in Honolulu

Townies and tourists rejoice! Target opened this week. This is the first two floor Target on Oahu and the first Target in a shopping mall! It took over the old Nordstrom space.

The store is split into three floors, with 5 entrances and one set of bathrooms by the elevators on the bottom floor. The street level is (accessible only from the Ke‘eaumoku St. entrance) is a mini gallery space showcasing the works of local artist Kris Goto, graphics on the walls can be seen throughout the store. Look for the spam musubi...

They have tons of products and all the Target brands we love like Market Pantry, Merona, Cat and Jack, Project 62, etc. They have all the departments too, like baby, electronics, home, etc. The clothing departments at this location is a pretty good size. The pharmacy is on the third floor. They have tons of local products to choose from and even have a University of Hawai‘i aisle.

It's Target, yet different than the other Target stores here. Why do you ask? This Target’s format is a little differently than the other Oahu stores since the aisles are much shorter. The different blocks (sections) don’t seem as organized and the store is much more cramped.

This location has multiple floors so they have that wonderful gadget I love to watch, the cart escalator! I love watching people put their carts in it and watching their carts ascend to meet them as the guests ride the escalator.

This location doesn’t have the shiny white floors and bright shopping atmosphere that we are used to.

They have tons of self-checkout and check lanes by all four entrance/exits instead of just in one area.

There’s a beach area to pick up last minute beach supplies like floaties or boogie boards.

The liquor section is huge, probably to compete with nearby Foodland Farms and Walgreens. When I say huge, I mean huge. As in aisles. Tons of wine and beer, compared to the usual couple of aisles on Target. And when you purchase 6 bottles of wine, you save 10%!

The grocery section is also quite large here with tons of frozen food, beverages and snacks.

There's a Starbucks inside the store but no Food Avenue which is kind of disappointing but makes sense.

They also carts for in store shopping but the carts can’t be taken outside of the store or else the wheels get locked. Although it’s a new store, they are using the old carts from store 2410, Salt Lake since those carts had those locking mechanisms.

Somehow the store has managed to fit in with their great prices and products but still seem classy. This location truly...

First of all, Keefelynne Aipia's review is incorrect and misleading. I don't know what store she is talking about but none of that information is correct.

The moment I walked in from the Kapiolani Blvd street entrance, the familiar Target 'smell' welcomes shoppers and Target fans. Heading up the escalator to the first level, there is a Starbucks Coffee along with a seating area windows overlooking a panoramic view of Kapiolani Blvd and Keeaumoku Street below.

The Electronics, Toys, Sporting Goods, Home, Kitchen, Mens and Womens wear is also located on the first level. As I strolled through the store, friendly Target employees greeted me and asked if I needed any help. I was asked in the toys, the Electronics and the Sporting Goods section.

The upper level consists of the Grocery, Beauty, Health, Pharmacy, Children and Baby wear and Seasonal goods. The grocery section is immaculate for a store this size and the wine and spirits section is the largest in Hawaii's Target locations.

There are many entrances located on the multi level store, with self checkout stands at all entrances, and traditional check out stands on the Mall Level entrance and the Upper Level Parking garage entrance.

Even using the self checkout was a breeze. The Target employee stationed at the self checkout was very friendly and personable. I had such an enjoyable experience and even though this Target carries a limited selection compared to a full size store, I felt that this was the best experience I ever had at a...

Giving a 5 star review. Not for the prices or the quality (which is there too) , but for the sheer helpfulness of the staff. I had been there yesterday- 20/06/21. We had been traveling a while & I was exhausted. My daughter and I finished our shopping and we're on our way out. I booked a Lyft and tried to take my trolly out(not being from around here, I didn't know I couldn't) and the trolly wouldn't budge. I had a full trolly so couldn't just pick up the bags and walk out. We just stood around waiting just near the target exit when this curly haired stocky guy( unfortunately, I was so stressed I didn't even get his name) came up to us & helped us take the trolly out- which was nice. The Lyft got cancelled 3 times after showing 'looking for drivers'.( I guess it being a Sunday and very busy day) This guy patiently stood with us & told us no to worry, he was at the end of his shift and would wait. It took us a while to manage to get the cab- he could see that we kept trying & even gave us the no of a local taxi company- they didn't pick up too( Gremlins at work!) Finally, when our Lyft was on it's way, he asked if he could put our bags down & leave. I was Ultra grateful to him in anycase. I didn't have any small currency with me & told him that I couldn't tip him. He smiled at me and told me that I didn't have to tip him. The patience & graciousness with which he dealt with us made me get a feel of the people of Hawaii(my first visit) .My review of this Target is in a large part based...
