Big Government; Retail giant Target has been struggling for well over a year since its decision to allow transgender men to use bathrooms and changing rooms designated for women. Now, the chain is closing a dozen stores as part of an effort to retool its stores in smaller spaces.
The Minnesota-based company announced the closings this week, saying it was a difficult decision, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
“It’s not a decision we make lightly,” said Target spokesperson Kristy Welker. “We have a really rigorous process in place in evaluating the performance of a store in deciding when to close or relocate a store. We close a store after seeing several years of decreasing profitability.”
The retailer has launched a campaign to downsize its massive outlets into smaller spaces concentrated in larger urban areas. The company plans to open 32 smaller locations this year and as many as 35 next year.
Target is also focusing on creating stores to serve as pick-up points for customers who purchase merchandise online. read more here
Smaller stores, but the gender neutral bathrooms will be huge. Since, really, that’s the only reason people go there anymore.
I quit going to target when they banned the Salvation Army from their stores
I don’t think so, Dianny.
They’ll probably be for tranny midgets.
The management are still scratching their asses wondering why the stores have slumped. Idiots
Maybe they can open kiosks in NFL stadiums.
Never even seen a target store. Small town syndrome
I actually thought they were gun stores when I first heard of them.
“The retailer has launched a campaign to downsize its massive outlets into smaller spaces concentrated in larger urban areas…”
Yes, that’s it…run to the urban hipsters to save your bacon after you crapped on the suburbanites who made you.
When the hipsters start having children, they might have second thoughts about men in the ladies room. Just a thought.
‘Dollar General’ already owns that smaller space…
@JS, that’s a good point LOL. I’m surprised they haven’t been attacked from the left for this and forced to change their name, like the Washington Bullets.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Hey Target….go fuck yourself…a concept we all know you’re on board with.
Looks like Sumbuddy at Target’s got a real Masters in Bidness Ministration if they think leveraging smaller footprints will make mo money!
That board must look like the Little Rascals…
Biggest smile I’ve had all day.
Sounds like the same business model as Sears, giving away one’s major money making assets (Craftsman) in order to make more money. Riiiiiight.
See a recent MBA grad, meet a true genius.
Yesh! Die, Target, die! Kellogg is close behind. ….Lady in Red
Target is very close, for me, never to shop there. “Expect More, Pay Less”. I do expect more, such as safe bathrooms and dressing rooms. In the not too distant future Target will be another Sears and K-Mart, GONE!
Retool? I’ll retool YOU!
Gahead. Move into the inner cities. This time next year there are going to be hundreds of former NFL players available for Security work at minimum wage.
Don’t insult your customer/voter base – will libtards ever learn?
