Target said declining foot traffic is the reason for the closures of its stores in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and the DC area.
  • Target will close four locations in three US cities in the coming months: DC, Philadelphia, and Minneapolis.
  • All four locations are smaller-format stores that the company rolled out to reach shoppers in urban areas. 
  • The company cited declining foot traffic at the stores, and will offer most employees positions at other locations.

Target will close four locations in three metro areas: two near DC, one in Philadelphia, and one in its hometown of Minneapolis.

The company cited declining foot traffic as its primary reason for the closures and said most store employees would be offered positions at other locations.
