My news said they will be closing 8 stores but I don't know if that is in our areas or all over the US. That hit hurt them badly. Are you Targets closing?

And not just for their financial info but everything that was linked to their account including email address, home address, spouse's name, and on and on. Yikes!

Target Corp. said Friday that it plans to close eight U.S. stores on May 3, 2014.

The stores affected by this announcement are located in:

West Dundee, Ill.;

Las Vegas, Nev.;

North Las Vegas, Nev.;

Duluth, GA;

Memphis, Tenn.;

Orange Park, Fla.;

Middletown, Ohio;

Trotwood, Ohio.

Eligible team members at these stores will be offered an opportunity to transfer to a similar position at a nearby Target location, the company said.

Yes, this 70 million is newly found effected....adding to the original 40 million.

That is up to one third of the entire population of the USA.

Who knew so many people went there!

For every store they close...they will probably be building three more!

That number of stores is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of stores they have overall.

I imagine the costs from banks and credit card issuers alone may be enough to bankrupt Target.

Do you think it's because of the security breach?

Do these stores have insurance to cover that type of thing?

I don't think so...there is insurance and re-insurance to cover a lot of these types of events.

Seems like cash is the best way to go in shopping.
