Police: 2 Robbed Promenade Target of Nintendo DS

Brentwood Police said the man tried to leave without paying for the item and shoved a loss prevention officer to get away.

A man and woman face robbery charges after a shoplifting attempt at the Target store in the Promenade. Randell Warren, 46, of the 4600 block of Greer Avenue, and Shanaya Edwards, 28, of the 4500 block of Alice Avenue, were charged Friday with second-degree robbery. Both live in the city of St. Louis. Brentwood Police said Warren took a Nintendo 3DS off the shelf at Target and began leaving the store without paying for the item when he was confronted by a loss prevention officer at the door. Police said Warren pushed the guard three times. The third time he pushed the guard, the officer fell into a second loss prevention officer, and both had minor injuries, according to a court document. Warren ran outside to a car where Edwards was …

There are many things wrong with your second set of statements, and I'm not surprised given that your first statement was the same way. First, your need to defend that you have friends of color, we're all so proud of you. Also, ANY street north of Market isn't considered North Saint Louis. A decent chunk of downtown is north of Market. You labeled me as a big left winger (typically associated …   more ›

DASHCAM: How Bad Is Parking at the Promenade, Really?

Ride with Patch on a tour of the parking lot between Trader Joe's and Target.

A recent article about the Brentwood Trader Joe's expanding into a space next next door brought comments about parking being, among others, "the worst lot ever." Patch wondered, how bad is the parking in front of Trader Joe's, really? A video camera on the dash recorded about 17 minutes of driving the aisles. The tour started at around 1:30 on Saturday afternoon. This video is the scariest minute that could be pulled out of that drive. There were no near-accidents, but it wasn't fun. Sorry it gives the experience of the lot without actually going into Trader Joe's!

I avoid it at all costs on a Saturday. The video also highlights the main complaint I have with the Promenade lot. The main thoroughfares of traffic are right in front of the stores so pedestrians and vehicles are always crossing paths. Too late now, but they should have put the traffic thoroughfare down the center away from the stores. The isles should be directional as others point out. Then …   more ›

Online Petition Protests Target's Thanksgiving Opening For Black Friday Sales

Thousands are signing an online petition protesting Target's plans to open at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving to offer Black Friday sales.

The petition was reportedly created by a Target employee upset that the retail giant is opening on Thanksgiving and requiring employees to work instead of spending time with their families (Sign up here for the FREE Patch Newsletter, including Breaking News Alerts.) Target stores, including the one in Brentwood, will open their doors at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. As of Tuesday morning, there are more than 179,000 signatures on the petition. (Check out the petition here.) Target is joining other retailers, inlcuding Walmart, that are opening on Thanksgiving to get a jump on Black Friday holiday shoppers. What do you think? Are Black Friday specials getting out of hand and starting to replace the Thanksgiving holiday itself?

Getting Hired at Target: Not so Easy?

Target applicants used to have to complete 704 true/false questions about everything from politics to their sex life.

Looking for a job, either as full time as you can get, or maybe seasonal? Sounds like if you want to work at Target it's not easy to get in. An article by AOL suggests it's harder to get into Target than Harvard. Here's the process at a California Target, according to the article: "Target's hiring process for its new stores has been designed with military precision. Applicants take an on-spot assessment test, interview with two current employees, and are then escorted to the bathroom for an on-site drug test. If all goes well, they'll get a job offer, assuming their background check comes up clean." Have you, or are you planning on applying for a position at the Brentwood Promenade Target? A caller to the store is told to apply online. Do …

Good question Jon - The article was meant to be informational, not critical. The subtitle sometimes (hopefully) adds information that may be interesting, but not necessarily directly related to the headline.   more ›

Walmart, Target Back-to-School Supplies Compared

Walmart in Maplewood and Target in Brentwood both have more than what you need.

As an attempt to provide a public service, Maplewood-Brentwood Patch shopped the Maplewood Richmond Heights 8th grade school supply list at the Maplewood Commons Walmart and the Brentwood Promenade Target. It's complicated, of course, because of the vast array of options in every category. At both stores, supplies can be found in office supply and special school supply areas. I looked for the most economical options, keeping in mind what is on the school list. You might make different choices from what I found, for instance, you might want to buy a box of 50 colored pencils, or 10. In other words, take this research with a grain of salt. Target has supplies compartmentalized with signage above each category in the school supplies area. …

We got in and out with all of our video games in about 1 hour. We got some great deals and little hassle with long lines this year. Of course we avoided the big box stores. Once we left the mall and went to McDonald's it was a different story.   more ›
