While the title of “Happiest Place on Earth” technically belongs to Disney, many people would definitely argue and jump in with their own suggestions instead. For some, it may be their childhood home, for others, it’s something as fancy as an island they own in the Maldives, but for one little girl from Atlanta, it’s something as seemingly simple as… Target. You’ve read it right. 8-year-old Brayden Lawrence is so obsessed with the store, she even had her party held there. Furthermore, the photos and a little cheeky video from her party went viral after her aunt Rikki Jackson shared them on Twitter.

    Even though it may not be every kid’s dream, Brayden loves Target stores so much, her biggest wish for her upcoming eighth birthday was to have the celebrations held there. Little did she know then that her mom would actually go to the management of the store’s Campcreek location in Atlanta and get their approval for the party. In fact, the management was so happy to host little Brayden and her friends, the store manager even made them personalized name tags.

    She loves it so much, she frequently asks to go there just so she can take a stroll up and down the aisles

    After she expressed her wish to throw her party in the store, her mom went to their local management who gladly agreed to host the party

    The personalized tags went perfectly well with adorable tiny Target uniforms bought by Brayden’s mom. But the girls not only got to dress up like Target employees, but they also got to step in their shoes for a little while during a scavenger hunt where they had to find items around the store and then return them to their rightful places, just like good employees do.

    Brayden’s mom even went an extra mile and bought all the girls who attended the party adorable Target uniforms

    The girls also got to pick out an item and purchase it with their own gift cards while Brayden worked as their cashier. “Other shoppers were in shock,” her aunt Rikki Jackson said. “Once we explained, everyone was so happy and just in awe that she chose Target as her destination.” Rikki also explained how deep Brayden’s love for Target is. She said Brayden will “ask to go to Target just to walk up and down the aisles.”

    Cute that Target would throw a party for a little kid, but I have to wonder what made that girl like Target so much.

    It can be anything. From the atmosphere to maybe meeting a very nice employee or even just the logo and colors that set it off. I think it's cute. I love Target and as a kid this would have been awesome!
