Big Changes And A New Look At Montana Target Stores

Montana Target Stores Could See A New Look Soon

I don't know what it is about Target stores, but I've always liked them. Even when places like Shopko and KMart were still in business, getting to go to Target was my favorite.

It turns out the next time you go shopping at Target in Montana, you could find the look of the store seems a bit different than you are familiar with.

Target Hopes New Changes Will Reduce Shrinkage

According to Yahoo Finance, one of the biggest issues that Target and other stores across America are facing is theft.

Theft, sometimes referred to as "shrinkage" in the industry, is any unknown or unaccounted for loss of a store's inventory.

There are lots of reasons for shrinkage, everything from shoplifters to employee errors, but what Target is planning on doing to stop shrinkage is where you'll see the noticeable changes in stores.

Is This The Solution To Theft Issues At Montana Target Stores

In 2023, Target said a decrease in their profits to a total of $500 million was due to shrinkage, and they have a plan to reduce that number going forward.

For the longest time, high-ticket items have been behind a locked case, and now you can expect to see items that are considered "prone to theft" also be behind lock and key.

They also plan to beef up their security along with training for employees to "protect themselves and de-escalate potential safety issues."

It's still up in the air if this will help stop theft, but hopefully it works because that keeps the prices down for everyone.
