Brian Cornell to be replaced next year as retailer navigates boycott over its scaling back of DEI initiatives
The CEO of Target is stepping down, as the embattled retail giant seeks to turn around its fortunes amid an ongoing customer boycott over its scaling back of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Brian Cornell will be replaced next year by Michael Fiddelke, Target’s chief operating officer, the company said on Wednesday.
Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.
No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil… Just a bad scene.
It’s like they aren’t competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.
What, you don’t want cheap Chinese plastic junk from the “Dollar Spot” that’s just going to end up in the garbage anyway?
I can’t tell if I aged out of the targeted men’s clothing demographic or if they shifted targets to SoCal/Bohemian semi-casual but I’ve just felt so lost the last few years trying to find their plain tee shirts
I must’ve aged out of literally any demo they are targeting.
I think some of the nostalgia/gaming/collectable stuff was a good addition to their stores but I also didn’t buy any of it because I try not to accumulate baubles.
Also they seem to have tripled down on “overly specific demographic” marketing in clothing and whatnot. I’m not the target market for the plus-sized mauve crushed velvet track suit. I’ll put it that way.
Their home goods, bronze and brushed silver crap, isn’t my bag, nor is overpriced grocery.
I spend more but get better quality at Duluth Trading.

The root of my struggle is I want V-necks. I’m not seeing any at Duluth. The Target selection always seems to be narrowed down to 6 V-necks (total) in colors that aren’t me. Kohls has done better recently
Yeah, the V-Neck looks super shallow, more like a “U” Neck:
