The changes go into effect today, March 18.
“We’ll reduce hours and close all stores by 9 p.m. daily. This will help us as we replenish and deeply clean our stores for our guests,” Cornell explained. “And it builds on measures we shared earlier this month, including enhanced cleaning and more staffing for in-demand services that support social distancing, like Order Pickup and Drive Up.”
In addition to reducing hours and increasing cleaning efforts, the company will also implement changes designed to protect, such as the elderly and those who are immunocompromised. To do so, Target will devote the first hour of shopping each Wednesday to those who fall under this umbrella. Guests can also expect the store to continue expediting — and, to an extent, rationing — orders of necessities. Said Cornell, “We’re fast-tracking the flow of products that are in highest demand, including food, medicine, and other essentials. We’ll continue to maintain limitations on in-demand items and respectfully ask all guests to consider their immediate needs and purchase accordingly so more families can find the products they need.
