Yes, Target was doing great. Then look at the dates. They flattened out and started to decline when they started pushing trans celebration and related clothesâŚincluding for kids. And they added to that by doing unsupported attacks on half of their customer base. They alienated trans supporters by pulling back from their trans celebrations and then alienated conservatives by blaming alleged threats by them as the supposed cause for their pulling back.
Most tone deaf top management ever.
Stumbling growth, both online and in stores, is not necessarily a thing unrelated to offending half your customer base. I have seen enough comments elsewhere on the internet about never shopping at Target again to see that is going,to have an effect on their sales.
