I love the Target parking deck

Reading Time: < 1 minute

We got a brand new Target store near us not too long ago.  It’s very nice.  I’ve been there maybe 4 times, and Kelly has been there a good bit more often.  However, neither of us have parked in the underground deck before.

Yesterday we were out when a pretty hard thunderstorm began rolling through.  We were heading to Target anyhow, so it worked out great.  We parked underground, got what we wanted, and got out.

Here’s the kicker: they built the deck simply to provide enough parking for the area.  The bonus is that it is directly contributing to the sales at the store.  Given the weather, we certainly would have simply gone home if the underground parking wasn’t available.  Instead, we went, we shopped, we spent some money.

It’s really pretty nice, too.  Very white and clean.  I’m sure part of that is simply because it’s so new, so we’ll see what it looks like in a couple years.
