These Target Stores Are Set to Close — Here’s the Full List

Target has announced that it will permanently close nine of its stores later this year amid ongoing issues with retail crime and challenging business conditions at those locations. The closures will take place in four U.S. states and affect communities from coast to coast. (Scripps News)

Why These Closures Are Happening

According to Target Corp., the decision to shutter these stores was not taken lightly. The company says it has invested in additional security measures, hiring more guards and installing theft‑deterrent technology to try to protect staff and customers. However, it ultimately determined that conditions at some locations were becoming unsustainable for regular operations due to frequent theft and organized retail crime, which can jeopardize safety and profitability.

Target has emphasized that it continues to operate the majority of its stores and remains committed to serving communities across the country. (Scripps News)
