Target, facing increasing theft and “organized retail crime,” plans to close nine stores across four states.

Despite efforts such as hiring more security personnel, employing third-party guard services, and using theft-deterrent tools, crime remains a significant challenge. The affected markets, along with remaining stores and employment data, are as follows:

New York City

  • Harlem: 517 E 117th St.
    • 96 remaining stores
    • Over 20,000 team members

Seattle

  • University Way: 4535 University Way NE
  • Ballard: 1448 NW Market St., Ste. 100
    • 22 remaining stores
    • Nearly 4,000 team members

San Francisco/Oakland

  • SF Folsom: 1690 Folsom St.
  • Oakland Broadway: 2650 Broadway
  • Pittsburg: 4301 Century Blvd.
    • 32 remaining stores
    • Over 6,400 team members

Portland

  • Galleria: 939 SW Morrison St.
  • Powell: 3031 SE Powell Blvd.
  • Hollywood: 4030 NE Halsey St.
    • 15 remaining stores
    • More than 2,500 team members

Over 150 stores will remain operational in these regions. Target is enhancing security measures by locking cases for certain merchandise and collaborating with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations division. The company stated, “While we will continue to make meaningful investments throughout our business, we cannot solve this issue on our own.”
