Target plans to close 13 stores nationwide, most in the Midwest where the store has its roots.

The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based retailer says a decision to close a store usually follows several years of decreasing profitability.

The retail giant plans to close the stores on January 30, 2016. The 13 are among Target's nearly 1,800 stores in the U.S.

I would guess that these stores are, er, targeted.

Remember how they took the guy who was heralded as the architect of Target’s success and made him the head of JC Penny and he drove it into the toilet? Yeah, I guess his work at Target is just coming to frution.

“They elected to move hard left. Conservative Boycotts work.”

The one located nearest to me in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ is doing well.

Corporate is most likely moving their money to friendlier fields.

Meh.

Yes they do. Closing them in the Christmas shopping season due to losing sales.

I stopped shopping there when they came out in support of homo marriage. I used to actually like to shop there for certain things. Now there is no way I will even set foot in the store.

13 is just a drip at this point, but something to keep your eye on. At least the employees know and can adjust accordingly with the finances for the Holidays. I believe by law you need to give 60 days notice, Target gave 90.

Target has kowtowed so much to the liberal stupidity, I gave up on them years ago. The so-called “non-gender” labeling of clothing was just the last straw.

70% of the populace could be extras on The Walking Dead, they are that clueless. Shame the Koch Bros or other center right Billionaire couldn’t snap up CBS, NBC, or ABC and even the odds out a bit. Maybe some of the dead could be reanimated to the truth.
