Target, grappling with escalating theft and “organized retail cri me,” is set to close nine outIets 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:
New York City
-Harlem: 517 E 117th St. (96 remaining stores, over 20,000 team members)
Seattle:
-University Way: 4535 University Way NE
-Ballard: 1448 NW Market St., Ste. 100 (22 remaining stores, nearly 4,000 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.
Millionaire Pretends to Be Poor Meeting the Parents of His Son’s Fiancee — Story of the Day
A girl’s parents don’t want her to marry a young man they think is poor, so his millionaire father pretends to be broke and teaches them a lesson.
When Sam Sutton invented a highly sought-after engine sealant, his wealth grew quickly, but his happiness was cut short when his wife Rain fell ill and passed away. Raising his son Will alone, Sam showered him with everything money could buy. However, Will soon realized that people were drawn to him only for his father’s money.
Determined to find genuine friends, Will devised a plan to appear poor while at Yale. It worked, and he met Eddy, a girl who loved him for who he was. When Will proposed, Eddy’s wealthy parents were horrified by his apparent poverty and treated him and Sam poorly.
At Christmas, Sam played along, dressing in shabby clothes and taking the bus to visit Eddy’s family. After they flaunted their wealth by gifting Will a Porsche, Sam handed Eddy the deed to a brownstone in Tribeca. Shocked, her parents realized Sam was actually a millionaire.
In the end, they accepted Will and treated Sam with newfound respect. Will and Eddy married, and Sam stayed close to his family.
The story teaches that money can’t buy love or health, and judging people by appearances can lead to embarrassment.
