A major retailer in Portland has circled a date to close three of its stores in the city. On Saturday, Oct. 21, Target will shutter its locations in the Hollywood District, on Southeast Powell Boulevard, and downtown in the Galleria building, citing “theft and organized retail crime.”
The decision reflects a multi-state move, with stores also shutting down in Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, and New York City. In a press release, the company stated that it “will be partnering closely with all eligible team members to offer them an opportunity to transfer to other Target locations.”
