This target location is, frankly, a joke. Let me preface this by saying that this is not hourly team members' fault, they have always been very friendly and helpful when I've come in, despite there not being enough of them, as is standard in retail these days. They really are doing their best.
Store management & corporate level, however, clearly don't make any real effort to compete with the stores around them in the area on any sort of pricing, and the store itself is both very small and very empty.
Products are merchandised almost randomly, and the whole place seems like it is riddled with availability issues. They also don't seem to know their market. Kelso is a very drunk town with few grocery options and they have only four feet of beer fridge, a few overpriced wine & liquor options, and little to no food. Most people just go to the safeway next door for a reason (it being a well stocked if poorly priced & poorly ran ran grocery store with like 96ft of beer fridge plus gigantic wine and liquor selection)
They really could make more money, I know it, if they capitalized on their location right next to the I-5 and within easy walking/dashing through the rain distance of the Tesla charging station. I get the feeling they want to avoid the working class crowd that comes on foot from south Kelso, I suspect the more affluent and kind of desperate customer off the I-5 is their bread & butter, but if their district level management decided to make the Kelso store more of a priority I know they could be a real competitor to Safeway, Walmart, & Fred Meyer.
There is a lot of local Kelso market potential in the form of people who don't want to drive all the way to walmart for GM goods or good deals on a 12 pack of beer, and people who are brand loyal to target for groceries and home consumables, they just need to seize these opportunities with better availability and wider product offerings & better messaging.
With Kelso becoming a more walkable town every year, I am surprised that Target Kelso isn't embracing the actually existing local customer base with everyday low prices, and instead choosing to rely on ever-dwindling traffic from the I-5 into the so-called "dying" Three Rivers Mall for its revenue base.
