Target Stores Scheduled for Closure: Here’s the Complete List

Target is facing significant challenges due to rising theft and organized retail crime, prompting the decision to close nine stores across four states. Despite efforts to enhance security — including hiring additional security personnel, utilizing third-party guard services, and implementing theft-deterrent tools — the issues have persisted.

Here’s a closer look at the affected locations, along with details on remaining stores and employment figures:

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)

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.
