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.

Get woke... go broke
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.
Most third world countries won’t accept it.
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.
Woke and green are different, apparently.
I’m currently listening to Grace to You sermons on living in America under judgment. This one is agrees how to live in a nation under divine abandonment.

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