Target said Tuesday that it will close nine stores in major cities across the country, citing violence, theft and organized retail crime.
The company will close one store in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, two locations in Seattle, three stores in the San Francisco-Oakland area and three more in Portland, Oregon. The discounter said it will shutter the stores for good on Oct. 21.
“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” Target said in a news release.
“We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all.”
Target, which has nearly 2,000 stores in the U.S., has been outspoken about organized retail crime at its stores. It has said theft has driven higher levels of shrink, an industry term used to describe losses from goods that were damaged, misplaced or stolen.
With its announcement Tuesday, Target also stands apart in its decision to both shutter stores and to explicitly blame that decision on retail crime.

Isn't that what leftists say about this?
The closures are: East Harlem, Oakland & San Francisco, Seattle, Portland.
Too bad, so sad, your bad.
Funny how the special race you choose to thrust in our faces in your ads would steal from you or loot you.

I wonder why there are food deserts in certain areas? It’s almost as if there’s something everyone knows but can’t say.
All America’s problems began in January, 2020. I repeat ALL of our problems began with the stolen election and the swearing in of a scumbag and his puppet master, Braaack Obama.
They worked really hard to get that Target into Harlem. Sad that it’s closing - the thugs win again.
8 seconds...................
Aren't these all places that professed love and support of the police?
This was intended by the democrats. They have been wanting to destroy legitimate businesses - as proven by the 2020 riots that they organized and the free pass to steal they have been giving the street thugs.
This looks racist to me. Target will only locate in communities with few blacks. Perhaps the ESG gods of Wall Street (BlackRock etc) will stop buying Target for their funds. This is how they punish corps that defy their ESG edicts.
Crime is waaay down, a leftist told me so.
I wonder if the globalists WANT Trump to win? Maybe they figure it’s more accelerated chaos if he wins?
All major corporations started this ball rolling downhill when they started embracing PC culture. Target first started by letting mentally ill male pedophiles into female bathrooms and then supported the politicians who voted in the new pro-theft laws.
If the CEOs and Boards of major corporations, especially the banks, were patriots they could have ganged together and told the politicians to not even entertain this madness, but they think they are the heirs to the World and are trying their best to destroy humanity and society as we know it.
These are the major brands donating to the Black Lives Matter movementI wouldn't be surprised if they made a lot more major donations after June 2020, too.

Target announced a $10 million commitment in an effort to advance social justice through supporting partners like the National Urban League and the African American Leadership Forum. The brand also committed 10,000 hours of pro-bono consulting for small business in the Twin Cities that are black-owned or owned by people of color.
The Tranny’s of San Francisco-Oakland are deeply saddened.
San Fran area? No way

My wife lived in Harlem and avoided the Target there. Not so much out of safety so much that the shelves were always bare (I wonder why).
LOL. Yep, all those places love and support their police so much they quadrupled their police budgets.
