A Target store in South Minneapolis became an emblem of protests and rioting that took place nationwide after the death of George Floyd in late May, as the store was looted and ransacked in broad daylight as cameras rolled:
And now, nearly six months later, the same store is reopening, Bloomberg reported — but with a focus on serving the needs of black customers.
The interior of the store was overhauled, the outlet said, with the pharmacy moved to the front of the store so elderly customers can easily get their prescriptions and the grocery stocked with spices requested by the local community while the lighting for the crosswalk from the nearby rail station was upgraded, and the entrance was made more inviting with a new mural and plants.
Bloomberg noted that Target is a retailer long associated with white suburban shoppers — and executives said the overhaul is part of an effort to improve its image with black customers. Indeed, the outlet said the Minneapolis store drew shoppers from areas twice as black as a typical Target, according to cellphone data tracked by SafeGraph.
Oh so they will get everything for free!!!
Should have CLOSED for good !!! Don’t build them New or re-open either !!!
If they only want black shoppers then the rest of us can boycott, hope that breaks them for good.
Like an abused woman, everyone tells you to leave but you just keep coming back for more.
They destroyed millions worth of property and then you spend millions more to accommodate them. I’m sure they’ll be totally shocked when it happens again.
I would not cater to their wicked ways, theft, burning, looting, destroying. SCREW THEM!!!
don`t feel bad for target they will make up the money they lose in inner city stores by charging more for the same things in their suburban stores, and the suburban housewives will pay more to buy those things.I`ve never been in a target store but based on the ads i`ve seen a they are cross between k-mart and the dollar store, and since k-mart went out of business i`m guessing target is just an over priced dollar general.
“…but with new focus on catering to black shoppers”
WHY???
Welcome to Biden’s America!
Is anyone else getting sick and tired of 99% of the commercials on TV being dominated by African-Americans? Has anyone noticed how many interracial couples have flooded the commercials? I don’t think anyone has a problem with African-Americans on TV but this cowering to Black Lives Matter is NOT indicative or representative of America!
This is the brainwashing of America!
Target put two wheeled hand trucks 6 feet apart so the looters can easily load up the flat screens.
