This Target store caters to everyone downtown and midtown in Omaha. While it is the only surviving anchor for the sad Crossroads Mall, it keeps busy all the time. Standard Target experience, but careful during back to school season. Due to location near UNO and Creighton it is both busy and stock gets wiped out. Some of the West Omaha Target locations are a bit fancier and larger if you ask me. This location has a Starbucks inside!

This target is located on the main bus line(dodge) and it’s easy to get to. I really like the Up&up brand(target’s generic line) and you can save good money buying their products. I often find some of them are better than the name brand, like baby wipes and diapers. This store has a decent selection of food items at slightly higher prices(between 25¢ to $ 1 more per item than say Hyvee or Walmart), and the produce is usually decent. I did unknowingly buy an expire yogurt here once, so make sure you check dates just in case. MOST of the time the items are well stocked, but if in doubt, call first. My issue is some of the employees are rather rude/don’t care at all about helping you. Customer service is annoying, either the person is wandering around and you stand there waiting for them to return OR they have 1 person working it who is slower than Christmas and they have a line of people. Also, I remember coming here once and asking a dude for help and he goes«yeah whatever» and walked off… okay bad day? o. O There are also some departments that need better organizing. Baby section is usually crazy or they’re always resetting their mods, maybe I just pick the best times to go? Don’t even get me started on ANY of their clearance sections or clothing aisles. Oh and they don’t have a hardware section, which I find bizarre. Pretty good location, just take it with a grain of salt that it’s still a big box store so you’ll get that level of customer service.

We live in Dundee, so this is the closest Target for us. Most of the staff is outstanding, and I find them more pleasant than the staff at the 180th& Center street location. The security here is also outstanding– not only do they seem to watch the premises well, they are very friendly. The reason for the 4 stars is just because of the crime in the area– nothing Target can do about that, but 72nd& Dodge is not as safe as it used to be. If for any reason you don’t appreciate this Target, go up to WalMart on 72nd street and you will VERY much appreciate this Target lol :-)
Like the location and organization of this Target. The grocery section has a fair selection of name brand items with great prices on the specials. There are quality items in the kitchen and small appliance sections. I like the wide range of merchandise. If you can grab one(they seem always busy) the red-shirted team members are helpful. I like the popcorn and the Starbucks. I like the red card. I like that this Target keeps the old Crossroads alive. Thanks to this Target for giving the neighborhood a comprehensive place to shop!

I have been visiting the Target on 72nd and Dodge since I returned to Omaha. Every time I visit I find the staff helpful, professional and knowledgeable. They seem to go out of their way to assist the customer in every way possible. I have a European GSM Phone and I was looking for a Mobile Phone Provider that would enable my phone to work in the US. The staff member at Target pretty much gave me an education on cell phones, and answered all my questions. I was unable to get a service without buying a new phone, the staff member referred me to AT&T and even called his friend at the AT&T shop in Omaha who was expecting me when I arrived. I have to agree with Jason G about the prices being a bit more expensive than Walmart. However there are incentives, sales and coupons that you can use to cut down your overall bill. The grocery section is adequate, clean and laid out in a way so that you can find whatever you are looking for quickly.

Eh it’s a Target… better than Kmart, but that’s not exactly a compliment… Most of the time I’m just passing through, but the few times I stop in it’s usually to buy some groceries… and they do have a rather decent grocery department… prices are ok, but nowhere close to Walmart level… but Walmart sucks it hard so I’d rather come here whenever possible… the toy department like in all department stores is rather sad… I miss the days of going in and being overwhelmed with awesomeness… then again, I was younger and probably didn’t know any better lol… The people that work here are ok, better than others, but not as good as some… all in all not a bad place to come to do some shopping…

I like this store and its location. Lots of people were upset when the closed the Saddle Creek location in order to open here. What was once known as the busiest intersection in Omaha, not sure how Target could pass this up.
