Unbelievable - but it's true, Alaska has just gotten its very first TARGET store. It opened this week and yes, I have already been there.
They were prepared for the madness and excitement, from parking lot attendants, security guards inside and having every register open and running...Target was ready for the rush of both those of us who walked in and had that look of seeing a long lost friend after many years to those wide eyed newbies who couldn't believe their eyes once they stepped into the world of Target. To those newbies it was like seeing the pages of a store, only seen through photos on the Internet, come to life. Mothers, teenagers, toddlers, grandparents, newborns and everyone in between could be found at the new Target location last night.
Though I prepared myself for the worst: angry customers, empty shelves, long and slow lines, pushing and shoving, I was surprised at the great time I had browsing the aisles, looking at candles, picture frames, kitchen gadgets, and clothing...my time there was delightful and the lines (though very long) moved very quickly.
I am proud to say that Alaska has finally gotten one of my favorite stores and it makes the coming winter a little more appealing...'cause really what better pass time in the cold and snow then to shop (and I already have my first Target Purchase picked out for my next visit - isn't it a great sofa table?)
