Target Loss Prevention Methods

Target Stores with new locked cabinets.

October 21, 2022 — Target — Minneapolis, MN

Items behind locked cabinets at the flagship Target store in downtown Minneapolis.
Personal-care items—including toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other everyday hygiene products—sit behind locked Plexiglas cabinets at the Target flagship store in downtown Minneapolis. In recent years, large retailers across U.S. urban centers have expanded the use of secured cases for small, easily resold goods in response to rising shrink and merchandise loss. At this location, much of the oral-care section now requires staff assistance to access, reflecting a broader shift in store security strategies and retail operations in high-traffic downtown corridors.
