Suncoast Target in Odessa to Close January 30th

Suncoast Target in Odessa to Close January 30th

Target announced that 13 stores around the US will close on January 30, 2016. Among them is the Suncoast Pasco County “Super Target” store in Odessa, just west of the Suncoast Parkway. The store opened in 2006.

The decision to close the stores was made after “consideration of the long-term financial performance of a particular location,” the company said in a statement. Target was recently hit by a massive customer data breach which significantly hurt the company’s performance. 13 other stores are closing, but this location is the only closure in Florida. Here’s the full list:

Austin North East (Austin, Texas)
Suncoast Pasco County (Odessa, Florida)
Casa Grande, Arizona
Victorville, California
East Flint (Flint, Michigan)
Columbus Southwest (Columbus, Ohio)
Northridge (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
Superior, Wisconsin
Springfield, Ohio
New Ulm, Minnesota
Ottumwa, Iowa
Anderson, Indiana
Dixie Highway (Louisville, Kentucky)

Target insists that the close is about the individual stores and not the broader company. Affected employees will be offered the opportunity to transfer to other locations. Below is a map of the specific location being closed.
