ReutersFeb 9, 2026 8:25 PM
Feb 9 (Reuters) - Target TGT.N is stepping up store staffing, but eliminating about 500 jobs in distribution centers and regional offices, CNBC reported on Monday citing an internal memo.
The big-box retailer said it is making changes to the way it runs and oversees stores to improve the customer experience, a top goal of the company's new CEO, Michael Fiddelke, the report said citing an internal employee memo.
Target will reduce the number of store districts — the geographic areas that its nearly 2,000 stores are broken into, which have dedicated staffing — and put money toward more hours for frontline store employees, the report added.
Target did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
