Target Store, Nicollet Mall, Boarded Up During 2020 Unrest

The Target flagship store on Nicollet Mall in Downtown Minneapolis stands boarded up during the 2020 civil unrest. This measure was taken in response to the widespread protests that followed the May 25th death of George Floyd. As a major retail anchor, the store's temporary closure reflected the broader impact on businesses in the city's core. Nicollet Mall, a historic pedestrian and transit thoroughfare, serves as a central artery for commerce and public life in Minneapolis.
