Due to protests in Minnesota turning violent throughout the Twin Cities, the corporate headquarters of Target have decided to temporarily close their doors. 

The decision was sparked by a series of “flash looting” occurrences in certain Target retail stores in Minneapolis and will take effect until further notice. 

The Target corporation made the announcement on May 28, 2020, through their website. 

“We are heartbroken by the death of George Floyd and the pain it is causing our community. At this time, we have made the decision to close a number of our stores until further notice,” stated Target. “Our focus will remain on our team members’ safety and helping our community heal.”
