I am not a student, but used to live 1/2 mile from campus.
Def Target and not Wal-mart. There is no Wal-mart nearby,
There is a shell station nearby, as well as quite a few BP.
Fast food: Jimmy Johns is popular, Quizznos is nearby (but for some reason it is open just for lunch- or at least was when I was there), but there is a Subway that is open more normal hours. Papa Johns is right across from campus. Ben and Jerry's is nearby and also popular with the students.
Local fare that is popular with the students: San Antonio Taco Co., Bosco's, and Sam's. Each one is on 21st avenue and could likely be found with a google search.
ETA: grocery stores: closest- Harris Teeter. Further out, but bigger and cheaper: Kroger

Thank you so much for your help! Many of these stores are near my home which will make buying the gift cards nice and easy. I think I will definitely have to get a couple of Ben and Jerry's gift cards -- yum!

I was about to suggest S.A.T.CO., too. I used to go there for lunch at least once a week when the campaign was located two streets away.
Starbucks, Panera Bread, P.F. Changs, Chili's, etc. There's a few Exxons around there. Whole Foods is a couple of streets away.
