UPDATE: The truth about Target
popular.info
On September 26, Target announced it was closing nine stores "because theft and organized retail crime are…contributing to unsustainable business performance." Target said that before making the decision to shutter the stores, it had "invested heavily in strategies to prevent and stop theft and organized retail crime." But ultimately, Target claimed, those efforts failed to make those stores "successful."

Never trust the corporations excuses.

PS: I wasn’t sure if this was a good fit for this community, but I couldn’t think of another. Any suggestions?

    It’s okay- literally every Portland local agrees that this was the reason for the stores closing down. What national news reports is incredibly out-of-touch.

      Well of course, why blame themselves for bad politicians they voted in when they can blame others. It’s the American way. Thankfully Oakland, Chicago and other places are starting to wake up to what is really going on

          I have a lot of experience in LP. About 12 years worth. I did consulting for many retail companies.
