Target, grappling with escalating theft and “organized retail crime,” is set to close nine outlets across four states. Despite “adding more security team members, using third-party guard services, and implementing theft-deterrent tools,” the challenges with crime persisted. Below are the affected markets along with the remaining stores and employment data:
- New York City:
- Harlem: 517 E 117th St. (96 remaining stores, over 20,000 team members)
- Seattle:
- University Way: 4535 University Way NE

Over 150 stores remain operational in these regions.
