But despite high shrinkage, the bottom line is that the Lake St. Target has been profitable, while the Broadway one has lost money for the past 8 years. Why would we expect a business to keep operating a store that the neighborhood has shown they do not want to patronize? Do we want to force Target into bankruptcy like K-Mart? How would that be helpful to the city?

A couple of years ago, I got trapped in conversation with a man who does (or did at the time) financial analysis for Target. He told me that the Lake Street Target, not the Broadway store, was the worst store in terms of internal losses and shrinkage, . . . Eric Oines North Minneapolis
