BOYCOTT OF RETAIL GIANT TARGET HAS RESULTED IN $10B LOSS AND CANCELLATION OF TWO HIGH PROFILE PROJECTS
Target announced it was shutting down a project billed as the “Store of the Future.” The project was aimed at developing a new outlet design that would consist of a smaller upfront retail store fronting a warehouse with robots picking items for the customers up front, recode.com reported. The closure was so sudden that it caught the project’s manager by surprise.

RETAIL GIANT TARGET HAS ABRUPTLY SHUTTERED TWO HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS WHICH WERE INTENDED TO GUARANTEE THE COMPANY’S FUTURE, AMID THE PUBLIC BOYCOTT PROVOKED BY THE COMPANY’S INSISTENCE ON TRANSGENDER-FRIENDLY, MIXED-SEX, DRESSING ROOMS.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Plain and simple, a well-orchestrated boycott works very well in getting your point across. Many other large corporations are watching the Target Boycott, which is still going strong nearly a year later, and asking themselves if it is really worth it to allow men in dresses to use the ladies room. To date, 1,451,312 people have signed the pledge. Keep up the good work, people!
Target announced the end of two projects as the stock price hit $64.77 at market close on Feb. 8. That’s down from $83 when the boycott began once the company made its transgender policy change on April 19. The stock price drop has slashed roughly $10 billion from the company’s value on Wall Street.
