Why does it give you weird vibes other than being a retail graveyard?

thats pretty much it, any time i pass by it looks very empty, generally looks out of place

It’s quite the opposite of empty. The Target that opened in place of Toy R Us is huge. Lots of shoppers there and at Best Buy. For someone such as yourself who didn’t grow up in South Brooklyn, many of us have been there and experienced the shore road on the side that takes you all the way to bay ridge.

ive been looking for a real target like you find in the suburbs, these little city targets dont cut it.

Your best bet are the ones at Ceasar’s bay, Triangle Junction, Atlantic Terminal Mall and at Gateway. Those are the big targets that I know of in Brooklyn.

I've noticed that a number if items I periodically buy from other large Target are not carried at the The Caesar's Bay store, which is surprising as the store is not small. It was the least busy of all the large Targets I've been to , though I primarily shop on weekday afternoons. The shelves are better stocked and neater than many others, which may indicate that they have more workers, or fewer shoppers.

I've been to large Targets (Atlantic, BK Junction, Gateway, Marble Hill, Queens Place, Flushing, College Point, Valley Stream) and small format ones (Bensonhurst, Tribeca, Forest Hill).

I’ve been to it multiple times during different days of the week and there’s a reasonable amount of people there. Always lines to check out

That shopping center has been there a very long time. The only thing weird about it is that it really doesn’t belong in NYC. The parking lot is more sq Ft than the stores. It’s not a bad shopping center though. Just frustrating to imagine how much of that parking could be something beautiful
