Springfield Target store, dozens of others across the country closed until further notice

Target has closed 119 stores until further notice, including its store in Springfield, according to a news release issued by the company.

The closings are due to the fallout of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which has included the burning of a Target store in that city.

Sixty-nine of the stores are in Minnesota.

In addition to the Springfield store, Missouri stores closed were in Brentwood, Bridgeton, Florissant and Hampton Village.

The Joplin Target store is not affected.








The news release, including a complete list of stores that closed, is printed below:

We are heartbroken by the death of George Floyd and the pain it is causing communities across the country. At this time, we have made the decision to close a number of our stores. We anticipate most stores will be closed temporarily.

Our focus will remain on our team members’ safety and helping our community heal.

We are providing our team members with direct communications updates regarding any store impact where they work. Additionally, team members impacted by store closures will be paid for up to 14 days of scheduled hours during store closures, including COVID-19 premium pay. They will also be able to work at other nearby Target locations.
