They have so much. Overall for most part the store always looks clean and the employees are usually willing to help you out if you ask. Best Target in the area. Better than North Charleston and Lexington...

This location is always well stocked. They have plenty of clean shopping carts at the front. The staff has always been friendly. The lines dont take long to check out. You can find good deals from time to time. They do a good job with social distancing too

Update - 8/2021: After reaching out to Target directly this seems to be resolved (for now, at least) and I can park my bike using the bike racks.Lately, Ive been having issues trying to park my bike here. Dozens upon dozens of shopping carts were being parked in between each of the provided bike racks. A few here or there isnt a problem, but several dozen? Come on. I guess no one told the staff people do actually ride their bike to Target...This store (#1923) is good, but not exceptional. Its easily the busiest in the area, and things go out of stock or are not carried here compared to other stores. Staff are friendly, the store itself is a bit more organized and clean than it used to be a couple of years ago. I also do drive-up orders pretty often, I can get my order quickly and it is accurate. Once or twice I have gone in to find items on the shelf the website said were in stock but couldnt be located by the shopper. I still prefer #1199 (Columbia NW, in Harbison) because its so well organized, clean, and well-stocked, but its hard to beat how convenient the Garners Ferry location is.

My merchandise was waiting on me .. very easy way to shop

My husband loves Target! It’s close to where we live and clean, lately the customer service has been horrible (about as bad as Walmart). The only reason it’s getting a 3 is because of Ms. Karen, she saw my husband needed assistance and helped him find the items he was looking for. Before this he had asked multiple Target employees and was not assisted, this is not the first time this has happened. Please do better! I understand the the pandemic has taken a toll on everyone, but find some joy in the fact you have employment. Target make sure you are doing your part in supporting your employees so they are happy and feel safe in coming to work! Happy employees equal happy customer experiences!

This target is so AHHH!! When I first went I was shocked with their hospitality I’m pretty sure I was asked how my day was over 50 times! They are always in stock and stay updated with clothes and etc. they are super organized if there is ever something lying around they are quick to pick it up and organize it correctly. This is probably one of the best targets I’ve been too :)

I like the fact that you continue to clean carts I would have like you to continue mask mandate. The store always clean. For me I use CVS pharmacy inside my Target and it works out great. I can pickup items I need while picking up my prescriptions at the same time. For me its a win win.

Fast service on my pick up order. Even faster service when I realized I had ordered the wrong thing and had to take it right back. .

Need to get more consistent and timely on orders for drive up

The customer service is excellent. The quality and care they staff gives to each guest is amazing. Price, selection, and availability is fantastic

My favorite Target. Clean, well stocked, lots of lines always open.

The staff in Pharmacy are always pleasant and very courteous.

Nice and convenient location! Always clean and organized. Curbside pickup is available or you can shop in the store. Great customer service if you need help!

Great service at the Garners Ferry store today! My purse was misplaced and two employees, Kayla and Darius, really went above and beyond to help me find it. It turned out another shopper had picked it up thinking it was lost, so all was well.

Bruce is quite possibly the rudest person I’ve ever interacted with. I expect better from Target.

My Target people are helpful and friendly. The biggest complaint I have is that the Bullseye Playground needs straightening and more good stuff out at once.

Everything was easy to find and in order. Quick self checkout.

Great selections. Clean atmosphere

Convenience and friendly staff, good prices

BEST Target in the Columbia area....heck maybe even in the state! Friendliest and most helpful employees in town.

Its so convenient and the staff is always efficient

My visit was to search for a specific item. According to an assciate, the item was not available in the men apparel department but available only in the children apparel department. The assciate was very helpful and polite.

Order pick up is my favorite! Always quick and correct!

I was there this past weekend. The handsome guy in the blue shirt was very respectful and understanding. However, I am tired of explaining to the Target associates that I have a medical condition I CANNOT wear a mask every time I go there. It’s crazy how some of the associates there has tested positive for COVID-19, the store is still open, self-check isn’t being disinfected like it use to despite the amount of people who uses it, and y’all are worried about me wearing a mask.

Every single employee we came in to contact with was so nice last night when we came in to Target pretty late to do some Christmas shopping and we had our 4 year old son with us. Makes it a little difficult to get him gifts without him seeing, but we dont really have many opportunities to go places without him so we devised a plan to grab an extra cart and hide his present under our coats in the shopping cart. When we got to the self check-out, one of the attendants was so nice and I think realized what we were trying to do and once the toy was scanned she took the cart around the corner and put the giant toy into big target bags to help us hide it a little better for when we had to put it in our car. When we were leaving two employees says goodbye to us and have a good night. When we got to our car a manager or security staff ( I couldnt tell) offered to take our carts for us. I know everyone that has to work retail during the holidays has to endure a whole lot and I was pleasantly surprised we werent just ignored during our shopping trip as Im sure most of these employees were about to clock out for the night. Our favorite Target for sure! 😁👍

Horrible horrible, the social distancing coordinating is absolutely ridiculous!!!!

Drive up is slow as hell if I say Im on the way and my order ready for pick up why does it take so long for them to deliver it to your car people have come after me and im still waiting this is ridiculous 9/30

Excellent customer service, fast and easy

Convenient and easy. My favorite place to shop!!!!

The phone center did not have staff to assist with connecting my phone.

It was extremely easy to get in and out of the store quickly. There was a store associate located near the entrance that I came in, who very politely directed me to the area that had the item I needed. The social distancing markers were well placed and easy to view. The most impressive aspect was the number of open registers. With Covid-19 numbers skyrocketing, its so important to me that my time in public spaces remain as limited as possible. Im grateful that your store manages to allow me to shop and feel safe.

Shout-out to the girl at guest services who helped me call a locksmith when I get locked out of my car. I dont know her name but she was slim, brown skinned and had long braids, please give her a raise!

They provide wonderful customer service

Great customer service! Each of the staff members were very helpful and considerate.Thanks Target!

Talk about customer service. Sara, Kayla, Tam, and Robert A. Made me feel so at home. I was so nervous to use a coupon and they made me feel so welcome: THANK YOU!

April-December this location was ON TOP of their COVID protocols! Today there’s no one directing the “line” and there’s a line backed up all the way to produce. Come on guys get it together you have customers arguing about which line is the right line!

Easy process. Found and ordered what I wanted online at the Target near me. I received a text telling me it was ready within the time estimated. Picked it up at customer service already paid for. Done!

Better than average Target.

Friendly staff and excellent accuracy for all of my pickup orders!! Thank you!!

This was the first time that I had used store pickup and it was so easy and convenient! I will definitely use this service again.

I catch myself coming here every time I visit my Son. Located in a shopping center also offering Cost Plus & Bed, Bath & Beyond, this Target stays busy.In addition to in-store shopping, this location offers Curbside pickup, Delivery, in-store pick up & same day delivery (depending on location/inventory).The accessibility effort is great with separate entrances & numerous parking spots. Restrooms are well kept with the over all store being in good condition.To my surprise, some of the essentials items were in stock due to the signage limiting quantities & the employees kindly reinforcing the protocols. Ill highlight the return process as its such a plus not having to present your bank card...it follows the form of payment on the receipt.To the stores associates, regardless of their department, they are very much uber friendly & helpful. Especially at Self Check out, theyre such happy employees going out of their way to lend a helping hand to their customers.It was good to see all the employees wearing the necessary covering to safeguard the customers.

Bathrooms we clean and the cashier was very friendly

It is quick and easy

This is my local Target, so I visit it most frequently. It is not my favorite in Columbia though. The staff in general are particularly rude for what I’ve come accustomed to when shopping at Targets around the states.I almost never can order popcorn and other snacks during normal business hours because the staff that should be there are never there. I usually give up after waiting for 10+ minutes and managers can’t track them down either. However I do feel that a manager should be able to quickly jump back there and serve the few customers they get, so I’m confused as to why they don’t.They’re usually well stocked and organized, however the baby and shoe section are always terrible. Does no one work in those departments? Tons of missing/stolen items in packs. Those sections look like a group of toddlers literally went in and threw everything around. Which very well could be the case, but the store should keep a better eye on those sections if they notice they need more attention. I don’t think I’ve ever been in those sections and seen it not look atrocious.I do see longer wait times in lines here than other Targets, so that’s another of the reasons why I can’t give this location a better review.I do hope they’ll make this store require the same level of quality as the other stores because it does become quite annoying.

The employees at this target location are always so helpful and go above and beyond to make things right.

I am accustomed to great service and returns from Target. As a new mom, this is why I constantly use their online ordering. I am still shocked at the poor service I received at this Target location today. I ordered two Google Home Nest Hubs online, and didn’t like the size so I came to return them 3 days after they arrived. The ladies in the returns section refused to refund my credit card and kept explaining to me how the numbers on the box didn’t match the numbers on my receipt so they wouldn’t give me my money back and they would not help me any further. I order from Target online rather than Amazon specifically because they make returns easy and I won’t be doing that anymore now. I received a real “not my problem” attitude from the employees here.

Ordered online, pulled up with prompt, friendly service. In and out very convenient.

Tricia went out of her way to give me excellent service at self checkout and returns. The returns girl ( lady with black or dark brown bob haircut) kept me waiting while she fiddled with something. She wasnt helping anyone and I feel like she was trying to avoid me really.

Great Store. Friendly and helpful staff. Popular location for military (Fort Jackson) and USC students, so it can get really crowded when students come back from summer break.

Excellent customer services

Excellent customer service and quality products available across all departments. I am so thankful this Target is so close to my house. Management is always available, there’s a sense of team work, and employees are courteous and friendly. Plus there’s the bonus of Panera’s and Hickory Tavern in the same parking lot. Eat there and then shop at Target!

Love this store. I am a red card holder. I enjoy the perks it brings. We love the new brands they have started carrying. The store is always clean. Easy to find what I’m looking for especially with the cartwheel app. The staff I adore. They are always happy to help. If they are out of stock.. They will search the nearest location for you. Target keep up the good work. Your staff are absolutely wonderful

Because I cannot download the Target app on my old smartphone, I could not get curbside pickup. I have been able to get curbside pickup for other stores without having anything but the order on my phone.

The store is a nice clean place to shop with a good variety of products to select from. There is a Targets very near me but I still seem to travel a little further to go to another shopping center because of the lower prices. Can you help me stay closer to home?

Awesome experience with the Mobile App!

Well managed and good place to shop!

Amazing store, everyone is always helpful!

Customer service is excellent and the store is very organized

Always friendly and neat. Alway have what I need in stock.

I always find all associates to be friendly, helpful and attentive. I so enjoy feeling as if I am the only person in the store. Thank you for that.

Pricing on some items are comparable to other stores. Others are a bit higher. Store is convenient and clean.

Service with a smile!

Target online ordering with in-store pick-up is great! Quick easy in and out without much fuss. The checkout line was all the way to the pet department, but I was able to walk up to customer service show my ID and walk out with my ordered school supplies.

The guest services line took too long, there was a cashier behind the counter but she was working on something else instead of helping customers in line. When another cashier got free, she had to go get another target employee because someone had called to talk to her. And then, once I get up there, she cant find my package so she came back out to look at the reference number again, and then found it. It took about fifteen minutes overall, which was about ten minutes longer than if I had just gone in, gotten the items myself, and then done self-checkout.

Target is just the best big retail chain I know of. Friendly, clean and fast service.

Great customer service!!! I love shopping at Target. Great quality products and great employees.

This is one of my favorite locations. All target employees are extremely nice and helpful.

Always have nice merchandise. Like their sale items. Like their grocery area.

This place looks great!! It has never looked this good.and its clean. Everyone seems happy. It never used to be like this.

This is my favorite location out of all the Columbia stores. I may be biased since I worked here previously for 3 years but even as a now “guest”, I am always satisfied after my Target run. Since it’s the largest store locally, there’s a wide array of products in EVERY area. Even products I can never find at other locations.

Target always has the best products and I love using the app for discount and even gave me a birthday discount to apply to my shopping trip that day!

I love shopping in target

I love that they teamed up with Starbucks! Appealing merchandise, awesome staff, but the restroom needs more attention to the cleanliness. I still shop here, I just do not use their restroom.

Picking up my order was easy peasy. I did luck up and get a very good parking place, too. The lady at the service desk was very nice and efficient. Im looking forward (ha!) to using my new bathroom scales!

Customer service is horrible, associates in the store dont care, theres no get up and go for the younger generation

Services prompted and fast!

Easy-to-use and very friendly

I am appalled at the lack of open cash registers when the store is busy and there is a huge line of customers. This particular store drastically needs to improve this.

Love the service, and store is always looks, no closer in the iles.

I love Target. This location is always busy! 9 times out of 10 I find what I want/need and have positive interactions with their team members. There is a good selection of environmentally responsible products and that matters to me greatly.

I visited this Target for the first time on yesterday. I stood in the customer service line for 10 mins while waiting in this line I asked an employee named Paulette who was standing there with a few other women if she had a scanner that could possibly help me find an item so that I could be ready once I got to the register to exchange an item. She quickly said that she did not and that she was not able to help me find that item, and instead told me to go down to look in a particular area and if any are in the store than it should be there. Basically I did not receive any help from her NOT great customer service. Mind you she was doing absolutely nothing when I was there besides just standing not putting away items she wasnt even at the register but only standing in the middle of the store. I did just what she asked of me I went and looked in that particular area the item was not in the area I had to go to a different side I was not able to find the item that I was looking for. I knew that item had to be there because another Target told me that it was at that location. This caused me to lose my place in line as well as time wasted. Once I got to the register a young lady by the name of Quinn assisted me very well. She is the reason I even gave this location the 4stars. Other than that I would have rated it a 1. The young lady Quinn went above and beyond to assist me she went on the floor to look for the item, she found someone to see if that particular item could be located somewhere else, by the time she got back she keyed in something and realized the item was in the back on clearance. Quinn left her station again to go grab the item and came back with the correct item for me. She was very helpful, friendly and she had great customer service skills! Kudos to Quinn.

I went here on Christmas Eve and the cashier, who was a manager in training, was extremely rude and impatient. I get that it is crowded, but that doesnt mean common decency goes out of the window. She was rushing my mother as she was checking the prices as the itema were rung up. She brushed my mother off when she asked a question and gave her a wrong answer. It was as if we were inconveniencing her life. The cashier had a bad attitude and spoke very rudely to my mother. Id rather drive farther and go to the other Target.

Nice Target. People are helpful even to the point a couple have walked with me to a different department to find an item.

Called and waited through menu. Says dial 0 for operator. Hangs up on me. 3 times!How does a store of this size simply not answer the phone?!

Easy to buy and pick up

Even though this Target is a little less well kept than most, I still enjoy shopping there. EXCEPT for produce; I just bought some baby carrots packaged in a bag and when I got home and opened them they had ALREADY gone slimy. Their produce section is pretty terrible, but thats normal for Columbia, SC. Ive heard you have to go to a fancy grocery like Whole Foods or Rosewood Market or a farmers market to get good produce.

I like Target and have always been pleased with their service

I used to love to come to this store. Shopped there all the time. Then they gave away my credit card info in a huge data breach so I stopped.Recently I decided to try again. I get their sale papers —full of great deals on things I use. So I make the drive, one..two...three different times to find the shelves empty. And no one stocking or to ask if any of the items are available.I get the idea that they only restock when a vendor comes to do the work.So. Another trip wasted. But it will be the last.

Really friendly staff. Its clean and well-kept. It has a good selection of every household item Ive needed, along with some groceries.

Normally, Id recommend Target, but this store had THE WORST customer service Ive ever seen at a Target... No one could be bothered to help me at self-checkout when my redcard wouldnt scan. Once I made eye contact with someone to ask for help, she delegated to someone else. This second associate came over, entered her number, and walked off. When I told her I was having issues with my it taking my redcard, she said it wouldnt happen again with her back turned to me as she walked away. She refused to stick around to listen to me, let alone actually do something to help.Well, it DID happen again. I was not able to get my redcard to work, but at this point, the associate had already run away. Not impressed with the employees at this location at all.UPDATE: After filling out an internal Target email survey, Sara, the Manager from this location reached out to discuss my situation. She said she would review the security tapes and work on the internal training for helping customers at the self-checkout. I really appreciate the time she took to reach out. Perhaps this poor experience was just a one off.

DJ gave me exceptional customer service. He was very kind and helpful when I asked about a few electronics items.

The Driveup experience was very frustrating! Judy told me repeatedly that this option is not available after 10 PM as if I would know this since the option was not disabled on the app. It would be helpful if it was or if they had a sign. She was not friendly and looked angry as if I were a bother.

Excellent customer service in a very clean store. The company embraces individuality and allows their employees to be themselves at work without a stifling dress code which I feel contributes to the great shopping experience. I happily pay a little more than I would at Wal-Mart for a significantly more positive visit.

Outstanding customer service, quick and convenient. I love everything about it.

Found the spaghetti sauce I wanted. Paid more for it. Really wish Target would have had the shirt I was looking at in my size. That would have been dynamite!

Clean store with friendly and attentive employees. Be careful to double check prices while shopping. Prices shown online are lower than actual prices in stores. I went there for the Caesar 24pk advertised online for $16.89 actual price in store was $17.82.

Convenient and so much better than Walmart.

Quick delivery of product

Check out person was awesome

Always a clean location. Friendly staff. Lines are normally long because this is a busy location so pack a little patience
