Target Stores Innovation

[truealchiemist]

I...I want to ride one of the carts going down that!

[usafisasome]

They have something simmilar to this At their HQ Store

[gloweybear707]

2 story K-mart?! I want to go there!!

[guitartec]

Ikea does it better

[Juicystuf97]

This one look like the one in cali

[dadoctah]

Five years and nobody has suggested putting a cart on the track with a baby in it?

[DocUnsane]

i have been to a grocery store where the whole escalator could take carts with it.

instead of having to quickly 'catch' your cart

And this was over 10 years ago

[coreenuhl]

Im glad I'm not the SFT for that store! Think of the PM/CM WO for that!

[johneastmond]

Vermaports are in a wal-world in Salt Lake City,UT. As these big-box stores build more 2 story buildings these will become much more common. Make much more sense than elevators alone! However you can't avoid the cost of elevators because wheelchairs don't do well! I promise! If you were to take a wheelchair down that it would get you're (and everyone else's) undivided attention!!!

[Kevinized100]

The girl who puts the cart in at 00:22 is hot

[twowhitetees]

haha thats pretty sick

[clue942]

I wish our store had that, but then again we're only 1 floor, lol *sarcastic irony*

[Rose375]

Um...seriously? I can't decide if that's way cool or way fail.

[chowfon166]

they have those in home depot

[AustinoBomb]

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo­wow

[TimothySEnglish]

IKEA has been doing the same thing for years... particularly in Schaumnurg, IL

[SeeGraeginatorRun]

@TimothySEnglish I been to Ikea in Schaumnurge IL!

[iRandyi]

i rode on those before :) the secrity laughed and ongratulated me

[mansonslover5190]

we only have the cart escalator that goes down at our store 2087 in oak lawn and when it gets stuck they have me walk down it...which isn't safe or brand!

[pbsolt84]

That is kick-ass!!

[watchyourback12]

they have this in a wal-mart in LA mall

[happybatty]

there's one like that here in Portland, OR

[laza1505]

cool!!!

D= none of the targets here have that!! -.-

where in the us do they have those escalators??

[SpongeStorm4000]

In cities like Minneapolis, Minnesota, or Nashua, New Hampshire.

[elevatorsonly]

SpongeStorm4000: I have been to the Target in Nashua NH! I will upload a video of the cart escalators when I find the file (riding the people escalator then putting camera in cart).

[Wheeljack35]

I heard about this type of thing and this my first time seeing it

[BlankMessageTV]

is this lakewood mall?

[Vandelay16]

thats bad ass

[badbrad1124]

they hae it at mine

[Cheer4Life825]

None of the targets that I go to don't have this

[09jollingson]

love target

[HikariSempaiLovesU]

That is soo COOL

[WeEat2h]

That's fucking cool.

[VilleyBoy]

1878! Woot!

[duststorm00]

that girl in the jeans has a nice butt

[tavogul]

i agree..

[BlueKewne]

This is a waste of money. This was a better investment than say, an ELEVATOR?

[elevatorsonly]

No. It is handy for people who don't want to use the elevator.

[Pimaster42]

they've had that forever in europe

[switspikeygurl]

is that tanforan?

[Dinogaby]

lol! Target is love <3

[dontwalkhand]

"20 seconds remaining..Who's responding?" "Service level exceeded"

[xrad7]

"Additional cashiers to the front lanes...blue side"

[deathguitrst]

i hate that! and most of the time they dont really need you

[dontwalkhand]

I have a simpler and cheaper solution, ready for this?? The elevator!

All the time I have seen people push baby strollers, shopping carts, etc onto escalators...and it bugs me, thats why there is something called the elevator!

[rex818]

1307

[SmokingRayShow]

Target will rip you off and they will fuck you over don't shop at TARGET!

[mikesampaga]

wow at least you have a target Hawaii sucks :-(

[thekratos101]

[Roxygirl421]

WHOA!! That is soooooooo AWESOME!! I wish my Target would have 2 floors.

[manualtrans257]

This is Minneapolis because of the cop

[lilazndemonoo7]

[cky283]

thats where to go if the zombies take over...

bring guns :)

[260365648]

Oh WOW this is Queens Target, New York City.

[Davitofrito]

awesome. uh, team members don't tuck shirts in....cuz we tend to wear polo's.

[ckla69]

Holy shit! I had that idea like 8 years ago and they finally have it now!!!

[Lalann]

i would get kicked out for riding it

[hrhsartist08]

yeah we have one of those in lone tree,colorado. nothing new, but you still gotta love 'em.

[panndder]

only downtown Minneapolis needs so many cops in the stores

[ALIENWAREV1]

i have an idea 1st floor - games and all kinds of guy shit.

2nd floor - womens shit.

[ALIENWAREV1]

IF IT WAS ME I WOULD FILL THE CART UP AS HEAVIEST AS I COULD AND SEE HOW FAR IT WOULD GO. LOL

a two floor target awesome!

[penguinisnuts]

I saw it when I went to Florida.

[shet57]

Those team members need to tuck in their shirts.

[swtliss]

That is seriously amazing.

[nateb2008]

Its called a vermaport...

[urockmysox]

oh snap!

[WED0519]

Sorry to say, as much as i WORSHIP Target stores, this isn't thier innocation. I saw this for the first time 8 years ago in the Chicago area IKEA.

[cubbies25]

I worked at this store you have posted. People would be so amazed and would take pictures and video just like you.

[pmurphy29]

Target has had those cart escalators for about 5 years; first store I knew of having it was the downtown Minneapolis store.

[cope1969]

yeah they have this in Atlanta at the store on Peachtree and Lennox RD

[auntjuicy]

that's the store where i first saw it and i thought it was so cool. the first store outside of a mall i've been to with garage parking also.

[Jaguar122888]

The only interesting thing about Target around here is that it's connected to a mall. And let's just say it's not exactly the safest mall in the state. lol

[theboehr89]

haha check out MY target video. i think you'll find it a little more entertaining...trust me

[ant062003]

thats slick

[TargetLayaway]

Checkout my Target video.

TargetLayaway

[tripleseis81]

Cool! They also have this at the Target store in Stamford, CT.

[TurboIceX]

that is so cool. I live in Youngstown, OH and we got 2 Target stores but no escalator like that but it would be cool to have one.

[Carnage85]

omg thats plain normal.. nothing special...

[wheels773]

The IKEA store in Schaumburg, IL has one of those. It's been there at least 3 years.

[SirEuchre]

That's the Mall 205 or Jantzen Beach store. Those were put in by the previous merchant, Montgomery Ward I beleive it was. So much for that being a Target innovation.

[mkingsle]

This was actually the store in downtown Minneapolis. An innovative two story Target that is a concept store. At this point, there might be more. But since Minneapolis is Targets home base, I think it was the first.

[SirEuchre]

There are a few 2 story Targets but most are pre-existing structures. The current main prototypes are a one level standard Target offset entry and a 2 entry Super Target.

[girlongirl6385]

@mkingsle weve had this technology in the dmv area for more then 5 years at least now-its the one located in rockville md

[josh198869]

@SirEuchre montgomery ward has been closed for longer then 10 years that store looks pretty new lol

[SirEuchre]

@josh198869 you don't think Target (or any retailer) remodels when they take over a store? Don't think a bunch of Montgomery Ward colors and signage with jive too well with Target's obsessive 'brand' image. Target also remodels... a lot. BTW, you did notice this video was posted 5 years ago, right? No telling how truly old the video is either.

[josh198869]

@SirEuchre yeah i dont know man i know kroger bought up alot of the old albertson stores and just put there name on it but yeah i get what your saying lol

[HbVideos]

There is A walmart store in Southen Ca than has A cart mover like that, When was this video taken ?
