Target says online sales have jumped 275 percent this month
April 23, 2020
Online sales for April have climbed 275 percent at Target. The retailer said that its same-store sales numbers for the current quarter are up seven percent year-over-year. CEO Brian Cornell said the chain will “emerge from this crisis as a stronger company with additional opportunity to grow profitably for years and years to come.” Mr. Cornell said that Target’s first-quarter profit would be negatively affected because it includes additional hazard pay for employees braving the coronavirus pandemic to work.
