Columbia here, also hate it!! Doesn’t even make sense anymore and it’s lost it’s appeal. I used to love browsing and bargain-hunting, but this new layout looks like some cookie cutter mall store

I'm in Sterling, too and I HATE the redesign! They ruined it!

The food section is not even stocked with food. One time I went and the shelves were empty, which I thought was because of a snowstorm. I went again in nice weather and still the shelves were empty.

They had huge bales of toilet paper blocking the gardening section.

Instead of the seasonal ‘Easter candy’ bring next to the ice cream, the paper towels and toilet paper were next to the ice cream.

The Easter candy is upstairs - literally right next to the spray pesticides. You can see chocolate bunnies and ‘Off with Deet’ literally at the same time.

What idiot thought of this?

The candy has always been on the second floor of the Gaithersburg store. I always thought it was stupid. The rest of the food is downstairs.

Seasonal is upstairs so that is where your Easter candy is. Regular candy is downstairs.

Just another person chiming in to say I loathe the new layout. I can no longer consider myself a Target junkie, because I don’t even enjoy going there now.

It’s stupid.

Pregnant women always need to sit for a bit, sometimes a kid wants to sit and read or someone wants to text home or work.

omg. Are you talking about the outdoor/patio tables that are for sale?? This is not "seating" for your kids to have messy drinks on while you ignored them and shopped. How entitled are you, exactly?

Get over yourself - the displays are not for sake and they want you to sit down and use them. And they buy them . And use them to relax and have a snack at your own house.
You need to get the stick out of your tushy and grown some brain cells too.
Honestly they should put the patio section display right next to the cafe. It would improve sales immensely.

Because the idea is to sell things.

Instead the patio section now is upstairs in a corner of the store where no one is going to bother to go. Maybe you’re the Target employee in charge of the store reorganization. Dumb!

Yes! Even the new lighting they've got going on is reminiscent of Walmart - fluorescent and dim. I can't for the life of me understand why they've ruined what was once such a fun (and fruitful) shopping experience. Hopefully they'll realize their sales are going down.

I used to pick up a few pieces here and there but now when I’m browsing, everything I pick up seems to be a plus size! So I just gave up because it was all mixed up, no organization or signage, etc.

I think this is more a matter of "regular" sizes getting sold out really quickly. If you wear a medium in women's clothing, good luck finding anything worth looking at in your size.

That I would expect but it’s specific plus size brands that are EVERYWHERE. They have several now and there appears to be more racks assigned to those brands than other, regular sized brands. But maybe that’s just my perception!

I’m pretty sure Ava & Viv is the only plus size only line. Many of their lines are moving to be more size inclusive.

Just got back from the most frustrating, unsatisfying trip to Target. The reorganization is horrifying. Such a mess, hard to get the cart through the little carved out "boutique"-like areas, everything in disarray and COMPLETELY disorganized. I used to love spending hours there - no more. I couldn't find half the stuff I needed and had to keep circling the store. It's the most inefficient layout and I can't believe whoever came up with it hasn't been fired.

Not only was I totally lost, but I kept overhearing other customers grumbling to each other about nothing being where it should be, wasting time searching, etc.

Target, if you're listening: PLEASE revert back to the original layout that everyone knew and loved.
