How to Find Target Deals and Weekly Ads Near You

Find Target: Store Hours, Locations, and In-Stock TipsFinding the right Target store at the right time and knowing whether it has what you need can save time and frustration. This comprehensive guide explains how to locate Target stores, understand typical and holiday hours, use Target’s online tools and apps, check inventory and in-stock status, and plan visits to maximize success.

Use the Target Store Locator on Target’s website or the Target app — enter your city, ZIP code, or allow location access to see nearby stores.
Search map services (Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.) and type “Target” for quick directions, reviews, and photos.
For large metro areas, consider filtering by store type (Target, Target SuperTarget, Target with CVS pharmacy, or Target with a drive-up).
Call the store directly for confirmation if you need something specific (special departments, seasonal sections, or services).

Most Target stores are open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM or 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, but hours vary by location.
Some stores offer extended hours, especially in high-traffic areas; a few are open 24 hours.
Weekday and weekend hours can differ — check the listing for each store.
Target may adjust hours seasonally (e.g., holiday shifts) or for local regulations.

Target typically shortens hours on certain holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve) and may be closed on major holidays (Christmas Day).
Holiday hours are posted on the store’s page in the Target app/website and on Google/Apple Maps.
During severe weather or local emergencies, stores may close unexpectedly — call ahead or check local news/Target’s social media.

The Target app shows store hours, services available (pharmacy, Starbucks, optical), weekly ads, and current promotions.
Use the “Find in Store” or “Check Store & Pickup” feature to see which nearby stores have an item in stock.
Save your preferred store in the app for quicker inventory checks, price lookups, and to enable mobile coupons and offers.
Sign in to see additional options like Drive Up, Same Day Delivery via Shipt, and Order Pickup availability.

The app’s “Check Availability” reflects real-time inventory for many items but may lag during busy periods.
For high-demand items (toys, electronics, seasonal goods), check multiple nearby stores and use the app to transfer stock when available.
Call the store if the item is critical — associates can check warehouse inventory or reserve an item for you.
Use the “Ship to Store” option when available to ensure the item is set aside.

Visit earlier in the day on weekdays — restocking often happens in the morning.
Ask a department team member for help; they can check backstock or notify you when shipments arrive.
Check Target’s clearance aisles and seasonal sections; items sometimes get moved there.
For limited releases, follow Target’s social channels and sign up for product alerts when offered.

Order Pickup: Reserve online and pick up inside the store at the Guest Services or designated pickup counter.
Drive Up: Place an order in the app and have it brought to your car in the parking lot — often faster for quick purchases.
Same-Day Delivery (Shipt): Use Shipt for delivery from Target; availability varies by location and time.
Curbside and contactless options are listed per store in the app.

Target’s return policy generally allows returns within 90 days with a receipt; longer or different terms may apply for Target REDcard holders or during peak seasons.
Many stores include pharmacies, optical centers, Starbucks, and CVS kiosks — hours for these services can differ from store hours.
Price matching is limited; Target doesn’t typically offer competitor price matching but runs regular promotions and clearance.

Save the store address and hours in your phone calendar before traveling, especially during holidays.
For big-ticket or seasonal shopping, call ahead or use the app to confirm stock to avoid wasted trips.
Combine pickup or drive up with mobile coupons and REDcard benefits for extra savings.
