The Target at Vineyard Towne Center is now open and already building a review profile. As of December, the store holds a 4.3-star rating based on 23 Google reviews, which is a solid early score for a newly opened big-box location.
Several reviewers note that the store just recently opened, with at least one local guide calling it “a good alternative to the Target at Queen Creek Marketplace.” Early feedback points to a clean interior, modern layout, and wide aisles, consistent with Target’s newer large-format builds.
Self-checkout is mentioned repeatedly in reviews, suggesting it’s heavily used. No major operational complaints stand out yet, which is notable given how quickly new Target locations often attract criticism after opening.
This is still an early snapshot. With only a few dozen reviews, the rating could swing as traffic increases, but so far, the response has been calmly positive rather than hype-driven.
A Look at the Location’s Transformation
Not long ago, this area was nothing but farmland and open fields. Historical aerial images show the drastic changes:
- 1957: The site was entirely agricultural land, with open fields and minimal development. A few small structures were present near the intersection, likely farm-related buildings.
- 2021: The area had irrigated crop rows, but surrounding development had expanded with housing, commercial structures, and road improvements.
- 2024: The construction of the new Target is well underway, marking another step in Queen Creek’s suburban and retail growth.
What’s Nearby?
This new Target will sit alongside the already thriving Vineyard Towne Center, where stores like Sprouts Farmers Market and Nekter Juice Bar have set up shop as part of Phase 1. The surrounding area has also been booming with new housing developments, restaurants, and services catering to the rapidly growing population.
