Mission Viejo SuperTarget on Mission To Promote Healthy Kids

MISSION VIEJO, CA — Pretty much every parent has been there. A full day of shopping, you push it one store too many. The kids in tow, they're blood sugar is low, your patience is thin. Chances are you'll stop and take advantage of the SuperTarget's free cookie program on your #TargetRun.

Mission Viejo's SuperTarget on Jeronimo is just one of many offering a different solution for parents and kids on the go.

"Guests across the country know that a SuperTarget run usually means a free cookie," media relations for Target shared. "We hand out around 25- 50,000 cookies a week to kids 12 and under."

With guests loving the sweet treat, now fruit is offered for free as well. That option for a healthy shopping snack that won't destroy dinner is just another reason that moms and dads love shopping at Target.

In Irvine, mom Sharon Andreas loves the free fruit option. At the Irvine SuperTarget, the free fruit display is near the Starbucks counter.

"When I grab a tea, daddy always grabs a free banana for the baby," she said. "Both are completely content snacking on that while we shop."

According to SuperTarget's media release, kids can choose a free piece of fruit or a cookie.

"It's just another way Target's supporting guests with a wider range of options," they said.
