“Target stores have just closed their doors, three in San Francisco alone. This is the latest high profile pullback by a major national retailer in a high cost, high risk market.
Target's official explanation cites safety risks and unsustainable losses, and the company is now under pressure to defend these exits directly to California state leadership — This was a targeted pullback from specific markets, not an isolated set of shop closings. The company said the closures responded to persistent theft, an organized retail crime that made continued business unsustainable.
In the company's words, theft had created an environment where it was no longer safe for team members to work or for guests to shop.”
