I agree with Robs daughters assessment. I wasn't impressed either.
Everything they sold was "noticably" more expensive than Walmart or Kmart for the same items. They did have a larger grocery area and a full liquor department....but again prices were quite high. The clothing was also more expensive but the quality "was" better than other superstores on the island. I will say though that the employees were really, really nice and helpful.
My opinion....I honestly don't think 2 Targets (let alone 1 target) will make it here on the Big Island given the state of our economy. Just 2 days after opening and at 11am this morning the parking lot was wide open.
