These Target stores are set to cIose: Here’s the full list

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:

  1. New York City:
    • Harlem: 517 E 117th St. (96 remaining stores, over 20,000 team members)
  2. Seattle:
    • University Way: 4535 University Way NE
    • Ballard: 1448 NW Market St., Ste. 100 (22 remaining stores, nearly 4,000 team members)
  3. San Francisco/Oakland:
    • SF Folsom: 1690 Folsom St.
    • Oakland Broadway: 2650 Broadway
    • Pittsburg: 4301 Century Blvd. (32 remaining stores, over 6,400 team members)
  4. Portland:
    • Galleria: 939 SW Morrison St.
    • Powell: 3031 SE Powell Blvd.
    • Hollywood: 4030 NE Halsey St. (15 remaining stores, more than 2,500 team members)

Over 150 stores remain operational in these regions. Target is boosting security through locking cases for certain merchandise and allying with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations division. “While we will continue to make meaningful investments throughout our business, we cannot solve this issue on our own,” the firm noted.

5-Yr-Old Piano Prodigy Plays For 101-Yr-Old Grandma, Her Final Request Has Him In Tears.

Piano prodigy Ryan Wang hosted a special private concert for a very special admirer, 101-year-old Dorothy Landry, several months after dazzling audiences on “The Ellen Show” and performed at the esteemed Carnegie Hall. Ryan performed a touching recital of “Variations on an Inner Mongolian Folk Song” exclusively for Landry at the age of five, organized by Canadian digital music distributor CBC Music.

Dorothy, who has been a fan of Ryan’s since he was three, was unable to fully enjoy the performance at one of his previous concerts because of hearing issues. CBC Music realized this and arranged a private concert to provide her with a more intimate musical experience.

The small scene showed Dorothy in her wheelchair with Ryan sitting next to her, his feet hanging above the floor and his hands gripping a big teddy bear, both signs of his youth. Both of them were obviously moved by the concert; Ryan expressed how much he enjoyed performing for “Grandma Dorothy” and how it made her happy.

In return, Dorothy called Ryan a “very special little person” and expressed excitement about his upcoming performances.

She expressed her gratitude to Ryan and sincerely asked that he come see her again following his impending trip to China. This special musical relationship emphasizes the value of generational relationships and the universality of music.
