Visitor & Driver Tips

Since this is a retail-operated facility, please be mindful of the posted store hours to avoid any issues. Always use your GPS to navigate to 4097 E Blue Grass Rd for the most direct route. If you are planning to visit the nearby university or downtown area, remember that the Target lot is intended for shoppers of the center, so utilize the downtown Mt. Pleasant municipal lots for extended city visits.
