The retailer is the latest to curb its operations in city centers in response to safety concerns.
Target is closing nine stores across four major metropolitan areas in response to a surge in theft and crime, the company said Tuesday.
“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” the company said in a news release. The company has been vocal in calling out rising levels of crime at its stores. During its latest quarterly call with investors in August, the company’s management team said theft incidents involving violence or threats of violence had increased 120% from a year earlier in the first five months of the year.
