This holiday season, several grassroots organizations are urging shoppers to boycott major retailers. Here's which ones are targeted.

Target announced a $5 billion investment to expand with larger stores and revamp existing locations despite ongoing sales challenges and market pressures.

For years, Target was the bright, stylish alternative to big-box drudgery — the chain shoppers joked they were “only running into for one thing,” then leaving with a cartful. But the retailer that once defined “cheap chic” is suddenly struggling to survive in a consumer landscape that has rapidly shifted beneath its feet.

Prat Vemana, the chief information and product officer for Target, says AI is changing shopping. That's led the retailer to embrace more AI features as demand shifts.

Shoppers were turned away from the Vestal Target on Wednesday after issues with the building caused it to close.

Target will reopen its doors on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025, for Black Friday. According to Target's corporate website, Target stores will open on Black Friday at 6 a.m. local time and close during regular store hours. You can find your store's specific hours using Target's store locator on its website.

Several advocacy groups are boycotting major retailers like Amazon, Target and Home Depot this Black Friday. What to know

Target stock is cheap for a reason. Its $74 billion in net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 (ended Nov. 1) dropped 5% compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. Also, the net earnings of just under $2.7 billion fell 11% from year-ago levels.
