Across these regions, over 150 Target stores will continue to operate. In response to the ongoing challenges, the company is taking further steps to enhance security. This includes locking certain merchandise in display cases and partnering with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations division.
As Target stated, “While we will continue to make meaningful investments throughout our business, we cannot solve this issue on our own.” The commitment to addressing these challenges reflects the company’s dedication to maintaining a safe shopping environment for its customers and team members alike.
