Target Tyler Texas

September 20th, 2010


For a while I have been wishing that Tyler would get a Target Super Center. Though there have been many rumors of one being built, it has not happened. Tyler does however have a Target store. Although I can only buy a few groceries there, like snacks, frozen pizzas, and drinks, Target has become one of my favorite stores to shop, especially if there is a sale going on.

There are many reasons I love to shop at Target, one being the home décor. I highly recommend that people doing their wedding registry at Target. The home décor is always in fashion, and has beautiful lamps, frames, and art work. It has almost everything that you would need for your bathroom, bedroom, living room, and kitchen. I love to see the seasonal dishes and kitchen accessories.

Target has some my favorite selection of clothing around. Little kid’s, women’s and men’s clothes are affordable and always the newest fashion. As fall is arriving you can find great deals on all of target’s summer clothing. As my daughter starts to take ballet classes I had to find the right shoes and outfits for her to wear. These things can get pretty expensive. I have been to a few different places in Tyler looking for the right outfits and slippers, and then I went to Target and found what I was looking for, for a low price. Target has the cutest clothes for young girls. Sometimes it is hard to find age appropriate clothes when you are shopping for little girls. It seems like a lot of stores’ girl’s clothing section are mini shirts, Hannah Montana shirts, and mini bikinis. I do not understand why people try to dress their little girls like they are grown up. I prefer that my kids to dress like young children as long as they can. Target has a great selection of age appropriate outfits. They also sell cute outfits for all different holidays depending on the time of the year. Years past I have gotten flower girls dresses, Easter dresses, and Christmas dresses from Target.

The Women’s clothing at Target has a great selection for women of all sizes and styles. You can top off your great style with fun hats and accessories that are always in fashion. You can get clothes for any season or occasion, such as bathing suits and breezy dresses for the hot summer days, and comfortable jeans, and even that beautiful black dress for date night. Sometimes shopping or maternity clothes can be frustrating because you know that you are only going to be wearing the clothes for nine months before they are going to be put in a box and shoved under the bed, or passed to a friend. The prices for maternity clothes are pretty high for the most part, and Target is not really any different. Target does have great sales though. Some of the maternity clothes can be on sale up to 75% off. All of the maternity clothes are very stylish and Target has the clothes that show off your baby bump, or hide it.

Although you can get most of your electronic needs, if you do not know what you are looking for I recommend that you go to Best Buy to get your questions answered. Target does have a lot of different video games and movies. If you are going to buy something that is behind the glass, be prepared to wait for a while, because it always takes forever for them to find the keys and unlock the door. It gets pretty frustrating having to ask a few different people to help you and they tell you they are going to get the keys and do not come back (this has happened to me more than once at Target).

Target has the most recent toys for your kids. They have aisles of Dora the Explorer, Princesses, and all the newest action figures. For your young children they have all First Steps, and Leap Frog toys. Your children are never too young to learn, and the colorful and educational toys are a great way to start.

Target is my favorite place to shop in Tyler. I have done all my baby registries and wedding registry there. You can get anything there from toilet paper and paper towels to suit cases and camping gear. Although I do like the Target that is in Tyler, Tyler really does need a target super Center so that there really is a one stop store and I can get everything I need.

Marshalls in Tyler Texas

July 6th, 2010

Marshalls sells top brand clothes at low end prices. In the commercials a sales woman had trouble with the language barrier and orders a thousands shirts instead of a hundred. Marshals buys the extra clothes at a low price and resell them cheap.

Marshalls in Tyler is a lot like another store I shop at here in Tyler, Ross. Though Ross’s women’s clothing selection is larger, Marshalls is a lot cleaner and it is easier to find what you are looking for. The women clothing section is not as large as many stores in the Tyler area, but they always have new selections and great prices. They also have a large selection of purses that are mainly leather. Not liking leather I am not a fan of Marshalls’s selection.

I really like the children’s clothing section in this store because the sizes are in order and there are not a ton of clothes on the floor. Marshalls prices are great! The prices are probably the thing I like the most about this store. Little children grow so fast, it seems like an outfit can fit my children for about six months then I am getting rid of it. It is easy to blow money on your children’s clothes, Marshalls helps with this by offering both quantity and quality at great prices.

Like Tyler’s store Ross, Marshalls has a pretty big shoe department; but unlike Ross you do not have to dig through the shoes on the floor to find a match. Marshalls has a great selection of brand name shoes like Skechers. It is so much easier to shop when you do not have to search the whole store for the left match to a pair of shoes.

The store has a great selection of wall décor, frames, mirrors, and furniture. I always like to look at the trunks at the store. Some times they have the prettiest art work, and iron wall décor.

Marshalls is much cleaner than other stores in Tyler, but you may not be able to have as much of a selection, but each piece of clothing is designer pieces. You can redecorate your house and get new furniture at the lowest price possible.

Cavenders Boot City

February 26th, 2010

Cavenders

2025 W SW Loop 323
Tyler Texas
903 561 2510

Cavenders is a Western store for men, women and children selling hats, cowboy boots, clothing and some jewellery and accessories. Cavenders is a wonderful Texas experience for the tourist and a great place to shop for the local.

As you go in, you will probably be greeted with a ‘howdy’ from the friendly staff at the checkout. The store is well laid out. On the right is the kid’s section and the men’s boots and hats. There is a huge variety and all sizes are available. Helpful assistants will find the right size for you – you have to get hat size right otherwise it will look or feel weird! Then there are shelf after shelf of boots, from the inexpensive but long lasting Justin boots to the more expensive Luccheses and others. There are boots with round toes, square toes and pointy toes, flat boots, heels, and all different colors and some different materials and trims. You will find something you like for sure.

On the front left side of the store is the ladies section – boots and clothes. You can find lots of pretty tops as well as jeans and beaded flipflops as well as cowboy boots. Behind that is the men’s clothing section – lots of Wranglers and checked shirts but a good deal of other stuff too – both work quality and going out stuff. The clothes at Cavenders in general are fairly expensive but the quality of the items stocked is really good and they will last and last.

In the middle of the store are the belts and buckles, jewellery, billfolds and so on. I love the silver jewellery they sell at Cavenders. They also have some Texas memorabilia, cards, key rings and Western style home decor items.

Service at Cavenders is polite and helpful. They will return any unworn item with a receipt and will issue giftcards if you need to exchange but haven’t time to shop. A Cavenders gift card is always a great gift by the way.

Occasionally Cavenders will have a ‘Round-up’ sale with $10 or $20 off certain brands of cowboy boots or something similar but on the whole there are not many ‘bargains’ to be found as Western fashions don’t change a great deal so the stock stays pretty consistent.

Finally, Cavenders is open until 8pm so you can shop after work. They also have a great website and you can order online. This is great for guys that wear out their clothes and just want repeat orders of the same thing!
