According to Finance Buzz, a personal finance resource, Target is set to open new stores in 39 cities, spreading across 18 states.

Despite the optimism surrounding expansion, Target has had to make tough decisions recently. Last September, the retailer announced the closure of nine stores across four states, including New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland. The company cited increased theft as a primary reason for these closures, emphasizing the importance of a safe working and shopping environment. “We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all,” Target stated.
