Target announced Wednesday it will be closing 13 of its U.S. retail stores, but they will remain open through the holiday season. Closing date is currently set for January 30, 2016. “Target usually chooses to close stores after their profitability has been declining for a number of years.” Target insisted the decision was about the individual stores, “not about the broader company in any way.”
These are the 13 store locations:
- Austin North East (Austin, Texas)
- Suncoast Pasco County (Odessa, Florida)
- Casa Grande, Arizona
- Victorville, California
- East Flint (Flint, Michigan)
- Columbus Southwest (Columbus, Ohio)
- Northridge (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
- Superior, Wisconsin
- Springfield, Ohio
- New Ulm, Minnesota
- Ottumwa, Iowa
- Anderson, Indiana
- Dixie Highway (Louisville, Kentucky)
And for many of us, there are 13 stores within driving range anyway!
