Target Announces Closure Of 9 Stores, Citing “Theft” And Employee “Safety”

Retail titan Target is closing nine stores across major U.S. cities due to a surge in theft and violence, prioritizing the safety of employees and customers. The decision, announced on September 26, 2023, signals a strategic shift for Target, known for community engagement.

The East Harlem store, opened in 2010, faced escalating theft and violence, challenging Target’s commitment to safety. Despite investments in security measures and partnerships with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, organized retail theft persists.

Former City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito expresses concern about the impact on local jobs and community access to affordable goods. However, Target vows to support affected employees, offering transfers and remains committed to its broader mission in New York City.

Target’s CEO, Brian Cornell, emphasizes safety amid a 120% increase in safety incidents linked to theft. As Target adapts to the evolving retail landscape, their focus on safety and community engagement remains steadfast.
