What believers are saying

  • Target opened its 2,000th store and plans over 30 openings in 2026.
  • Next-day delivery now reaches over 50 metros, expanding free speedy fulfillment options.

What critics are saying

  • Fiddelke cut 1,800 corporate roles in October 2025 after prolonged sales declines.
  • DEI backlash, boycotts, and litigation damaged Target’s brand trust through 2026.
