• "i live in the mainland. I do not wanna come back to home town of hilo and see a damn TARGET!"

• "Walmart already closed down the "mom and pop" stores in East Hawaii. At least now they will have some healthy competition with Target. Walmart has been ripping off East Hawaii for too long. -- Oh, and the jobs Target is going to provide may be desperately needed...but guess what?? The wages are still keeping people as "working poor" and living in poverty. These are not real jobs...."
• "The new jobs created by the Target store will be offset by the loss of jobs elsewhere as competitors trim back employees due to new competion and small stores go belly up.  Overall, it can mean a net loss of jobs due to economy of scale. -- Target will offer much better shopping experiences to people who like cheap stuff, but it's not any particular benefit to the community other than than servicing that market."
• "The Good ---- Brings in "jobs" that hilo desperately needs !
  The Bad ---- One step closer to becoming like "mainland" . Shuts down "mom and pops" stores cause they cant compete against "big name" stores ."
