Target Just Dumped Its Pride Merchandise -- Here's Where It All May Go
The Street ^ | 5/30/23 | Thomas Lee

Posted on 05/31/2023 4:09:27 AM PDT by cotton1706

Target Corporation (TGT) - Get Free Report has decided to remove merchandise from its upcoming LGBQT Pride collection because of objections from right wing critics.

Fortunately, retailers have lots of experience getting rid of unsold apparel, whether by selling to off-price retailers like T.J. Maxx or Marshalls, both owned by TJX Companies Inc. (TJX) - Get Free Report, or just relegating clothing to landfills, which is not really good for the environment.

In Target’s case, the retailer will most likely -- and very quietly -- donate the merchandise to charities or foundations, possibly aligned with LGBTQ+ causes.

“I'm guessing that (the clothing will) end up being donated,” said Jane Singer, managing director of Inside Fashion and JDT Research in Hong Kong, which tracks the international apparel supply chain. “They can't sit in a warehouse because warehousing costs are very high. Also Target needs to get that inventory off of their books to free up 'open to buy' dollars so that they can buy new merchandise.”

“There are a lot of lessons in these recently failed collections for the industry,” she said.

Will they learn? I doubt it.

Good. It seems like it has been about three years since I heard good news.

As a tax deducible charitable donation. In other words, we will be paying for it.

They’ve been selling “pride” stuff for years, So I assume this is their “trans” stuff.

"or just relegating clothing to landfills, which is not really good for the environment. "

I don't understand this statement.

are the clothes toxic? they won't decompose? won't become earthworm food? Don't most clothes end up in landfills?

Better "toxic" in a landfill than on children's bodies.

because of objections from right wing critics.

They face bankruptcy because someone wrote a nasty post on FR or American thinker? I think there problem is a whole lot deeper than that. They like their brethren tried to push onto their customers what their customers weren't buying.

They installed a “family restroom” to avoid that situation.

Of course. Well, at least in the states controlled by fags, trannies, groomers and pedos.
