Target Express

This is a «Target Express»? OK that explains it. Was very disappointed in this limited Target location. Very new but very small for a Target. Had the things a college student would want or need but even for them it’s small IMHO. The place was clean and looks like it’s made exclusively for UMd. which is also disappointing. Worse is the limited parking in the new parking garage. Also had a tough time maneuvering around the concrete columns in the limited spaces available. Overall it was a shame this place I have driven by so often, isn’t what I expected it to be.

I love this Target Express. I’ve only been to it a handful of times but they carry all sorts of essentials college kids would need — pillows, cleaning supplies, groceries, and etc. The store hours are great. And the staff members are nice and friendly too!

This Target Express (near both the University of Maryland College Park and College Park metro) has a reasonable variety of items to choose from for the store being just a quick stop store. My husband and I recently purchased some affordable Dial brand of Omega mixture Omega packed sea berrie soap bars (ten– 4 ounce pack), almond and shea butter suave conditioner, citrus rush scent of suave 3 in 1 conditioner+shampoo+bodywash, orange juice, and simply balanced variety tilapia filets. The customer service from the cashiers was outstanding and my husband and I were in and out of this College Park MarylandTarget Express within a reasonable timeframe. However, due to the cost of the items and more or less the size of the Target Express store it is more for if you need a few items until payday. If you are trying to get groceries to last you for at least two weeks that are only 1 – 2 buses away from the Prince GeorgePlaza Metro or the University of Maryland College Park metro the following other places might better serve your needs; Target or Giant grocery store near the PG Plaza metro, Giant grocery store near the Greenbelt metro, Shoppers grocery store in College park metro and/​or Costco near the Wheaton metro.

Strengths of this Target include: (a) it’s conveniently located right near campus; (b) it’s new, and subsequently, extremely clean; © they are adequately staffed, and as a result have relatively short lines.
Weaknesses are as follows: (a) prices are very high for your average Target; (b) it’s a small store, so they have a very limited selection. Further, they have chosen to narrow their selection to mostly Target brand products. As we all know, the Target brand is atrocious; I love Target as a store, but I will avoid purchasing their brand at all costs. At this location, that’s rarely possible; © the chips and saltines that I purchased were both stale. I’m not sure how that’s even possible.
In conclusion, very convenient, and obviously fills a hole in the market here. Just remember to keep your expectations low for both selection and price.

Target Express is located dead smack in the middle of College Park on the corner of Baltimore Ave & College Ave. There’s tons of bike parking and an attached garage. While it’s much smaller than your average Target, it definitely has all of the essentials you’d need on any given day PLUS a pharmacy! It’s definitely worth checking out!

This is amazing. Only place near campus to get these good. Variety of useful items for college students and the only place to get groceries and fresh produces nearby! Staff is really nice and helpful. Go here!

The staff members are very attentive and willing to help! Maybe it’s because it just opened up, but either way they are really nice and friendly. I also like how there are self-​checkout areas & it’s way cheaper than the CVS that is nearby.

This Target Express just opened yesterday underneath the newest apartments in College Park, the Landmark. Inside there is a pharmacy and ATM. It seemed like there was the full array of beauty products, small section of school supplies and electronics, very basic clothing items (socks, underwear, UMD gear, etc), grocery and a small selection of home goods. But it pretty much has everything a college kid would need. This store will probably be a such a lifesaver for students who can’t/don’t want to drive all the way to the other larger Targets in Greenbelt or PG Plaza.
