People begging Target to stay in W Baltimore (Mondawmin Mall)

[Chubbs]

You know why.

I mean... the area isn’t great, but if they’re getting good sales at that location I honestly don’t get why they’d close the store.

That may be their only grocery store, and it provides lots of jobs. I remember back during the Freddy Gray riot, the mayor said she was upset about them burning down CVS, because it was hard to get stores in that area. I seriously don't know how those people survive on fast food, and bodegas.

Luckily, there is a grocery store on the other side of the mall. I kind of think that particular target is having problems making money because of some of the Employees and SOME of the people in the neighborhood stealing.

They don't even show up to meet the community they are selling to.

These corporations are not for us.

They put that Target there not long ago, I went in there the first day it opened. I wonder why they’re closing that location

I was definitely surprised when they put that target there. That's the same time that the renovated the Mall.

Baltimore is a lost cause much like Detroit. You shouldn't worry about them.

That’s bullshyt

Watch the video it covers it all.

This is what it's come to in some of our communities?

We begging Target to stay? Target...

Black Business is so important yall.

Nobody going to save us... All we have is us.

How do yall feel about this? Racist capitalist going to do what they do. Why are we not protecting ourselves?

It might be smarter to try to get another store to take its place they arent likely staying no matter what clearly it has nothing to do with foot traffic.

I guarantee you that nikkaz steal in this Target more than most targets. This Target is in the HOOD, not only that it's at the confluence of two notorious neighborhood, and is a public transportation hub. nikkaz stay getting robbed at that mall, so stealing is nothing to them.

I figured that was it
The closest I go to Mondawmin is Towanda or Park Heights
I’m surprised that mall isn’t closed yet, I can’t remember the last time I been in there

The Target was profitable.

When Target opened in 2008 the mall received 15 Million dollar subsidy from the tax payers there.

In the video the people said it was packed.

I don't know what to believe I just don't believe Target really.
